Betterworks Offers First Interactive OKR Master Certification

Certification Program Includes Practice, Presentation and Feedback from Peer Leaders

 
Redwood City, Calif. – October 13, 2020
  betterworks, the leading enterprise software for OKRs/CFRs, engagement and calibration, announced today the launch of the betterworks OKR Master Certification. The industry-leading betterworks OKR Master Certification Program is the only OKR certification program endorsed by John Doerr, OKR pioneer and author of Measure What Matters: How Google, Bono, and the Gates Foundation Rock the World with OKRs. 

The betterworks OKR Master program will help aspiring OKR practitioners develop comprehensive subject matter expertise and skill mastery of OKRs to accelerate organizational, team, and individual performance. Led by betterworks university staff, participants learn how to avoid OKR roadblocks and pitfalls as OKR trainers guide participants through betterworks’ proven OKR methodology, including OKR workshop facilitation and OKR program implementation best practices. Betterworks’ OKR Master Certification Program enables participants to drive organizational agility with OKRs —helping organizations pivot and quickly adapt to change while increasing innovation, alignment, and collaboration. The program attracts executives, including CEOs, COOs, CFOs, CHROs, in addition to mid-level managers and individual contributors looking to enhance the performance of their teams with OKRs.

“There are a few OKR certification programs out there, but they tend to be listening to an OKR expert talk at you about “all things OKRs” for a few hours,” said Brad Palmisano, Director of Customer Education and Enablement at betterworks. “As the leader in OKRs, we strive to facilitate an active learning environment where participants create, present, and defend OKRs that they own—not something you simply listen to someone talk about. We encourage participants to apply the core tenants of OKR methodology in practical situations. Our hands-on experience includes real-time demonstrations reflective of participants’ daily work life, as well as interaction and feedback from their peers—many from the world’s most reputable organizations.  Reception to the learning experience we have created has been remarkable.”

“The Betterworks OKR Master Certification Program is a great blend of both virtual, self-paced learning and live sessions that are interactive and informative. The small group settings allow you to develop OKR skills and gain valuable feedback about how to not only write effective OKR’s but also how to successfully implement the program, get buy in from your team and discuss what roadblocks you may encounter. I would highly recommend this course for those who are interested in learning more about OKR’s or how to more effectively train their teams on establishing goals.” - Stephanie Bloch, Amazon

For $399, individuals obtain access to betterworks University for 60 days, five live sessions with professional OKR trainers, and a comprehensive certification exam. Sessions are capped at 25 participants and fill up early.

SYDNEY - Oct. 12, 2020 - PRLog -- One of Australia's foremost software developers, Supportsoft Technologies has earned a legendary reputation for the sheer range of the myriad kinds of software that it has created for a diverse set of clients across vectors. According to Saurabh Bhatt, Director Sales, "There are software development companies and there are software development companies, but what we deliver is bespoke solutions that are just right for the products and services in question."

All manner of software is deployed in computers, smartphones, iPads and so many devices, helping them perform a slew of functions that make them so indispensable to our modern lives. It is, therefore, important that the software that is put in to make that possible is out of the top drawer. This is something that Supportsoft Technologies does extremely well. They really have very few peers when it comes to the sheer range of software application.

We create stellar software that sees use in an incredibly long list of companies, industries and departments. These include Software and Portals, Management Software, Industrial Software, Retail Software, Hotel Management Software and Delivery and Takeaway Management and so on."

That apart, Software Technologies is known to cater to the software needs of sectors like HR and Payroll, Event Management , Travel, Healthcare, Disability Services Management and Construction Site Management. They are able to meet the custom software needs of so many diverse sectors on account of the fact that they pay very careful attention to the exact requirements of the clients. There is no place for a one-size- fits all kind of approach in Software Technologies' scheme of things and this reflects in the fact that their clientele is an extremely satisfied one. It is not for nothing that they are renowned both as a custom software development company as well as an enterprise software development company of considerable repute.

It is not surprising therefore that they have been able to develop long term relationships with most of their clients.

Not just that, their crack team of software developers is always exploring the frontiers of technology to create ever better software.  Going forward, one can expect them to expand their footprint all across Australia in an even more extensive manner.

Study Tech Trends in Pandemic Times 1 in 4 People Learned to Code During Lockdown

Doors shut on many plans during the Covid-19 pandemic. Plans turned to day-by-day approaches, particularly where daily livelihood was concerned and job stability had to navigate mass layoffs and furloughs in some fields.

Bucharest, Romania., October 9, 2020 -- Doors shut on many plans during the Covid-19 pandemic. Plans turned to day-by-day approaches, particularly where daily livelihood was concerned and job stability had to navigate mass layoffs and furloughs in some fields.

Doors shut on many plans during the Covid-19 pandemic. Plans turned to day-by-day approaches, particularly where daily livelihood was concerned and job stability had to navigate mass layoffs and furloughs in some fields.

Yet, despite this rather asperse scenery, the following phenomenon happened: employees turned to learning new skills to keep their leverage on the working market, as well as to garner a new feeling of personal development. Case in point: technology proficiency.

The golden top 3 podium: Python, Java and C++

According to a study that collected data in August 2020 from more than 1,000 people in the United States, which is cited by www.developer-tech.com, around 1 in 4 people spent time learning coding languages during the lockdown.
The most commonly learned programming language were Python, followed by Java and C++.

Millennials, most engaged with new tech trends

70% of the study respondents said their technology skills moderately or greatly improved since the Covid-19 breakout. Breaking it down by generation groups, millennials, at nearly 3 out of 4 respondents, were the most likely to have improved their tech skills with Generation X not far behind.

Baby boomers were considerably less likely to report any tech improvement; still, over half said they were more skilled now than they were before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Biggest motivation to learn code: career development

The greatest motivations for people setting out to improve their skills were career development (55%), personal development (46%), and improving job search prospects (33%).

Online e-zines, online channels, and mostly freely available content, was the top source of training material for most (66%) people boosting their skills, with 1 in 3 turned to paid resources.

On average, people spent 7,2 hours per week improving their tech skills, the most time learning coding and programming languages, while improving telecommunication proficiency required the least study time.

One other interesting aspect to consider: people who had taken advantage of employee-provided training opportunities were much more inclined to pursue development on their own or through paid resources.

Over one-third of respondents (37%) whose employers didn’t offer technology education opportunities reported wishing their employer would do so.

Overall, close to 1 in 2 respondents believe their new or improved tech skills will be very or extremely beneficial to their career.

Softline and Huawei Sign a Cooperation Agreement

Softline and Huawei Sign a Cooperation Agreement

LONDON, United Kingdom - October 06, 2020 - Softline and Huawei sign a cooperation agreement to strengthen their partnership.

This is a natural development of the long-term partnership between these two IT companies advancing it to its next level. The parties plan to join forces to power the Smart Hardhats developed by Softline with Huawei technology and Wi-Fi 6 solutions. The agreement envisages closer cooperation between partners in the hardware business development and extension of the special partnership options in order to boost sales of Huawei storage systems. The document was signed by Haijun Xiao, President of Eurasia Region Enterprise Business Group, and Sergey Chernovolenko, Global CEO of Softline, during the 2020 Huawei Digital Community Conference in Moscow.

The cooperation agreement proves the partners' willingness to consolidate their efforts to promote joint IT solutions and services and to implement new large-scale projects. In the future, this will help Softline get access to Huawei's cutting-edge technologies on special terms. In turn, customers will be able to purchase more competitive and advanced hardware solutions, in particular storage systems, at the best prices and with the shortest delivery terms. To develop joint products efficiently, Softline and Huawei plan to hold joint conferences and seminars regularly and provide analytical and expert customer support. The companies aim to increase the number of Huawei hardware implementation projects every year.

Huawei is a global IT leader that has been actively working in Russia’s carrier, corporate, and mobile markets for over 20 years. The first Huawei office outside of China was opened in 1997 in Russia. Today, there are 11 company branch offices throughout the country, from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok. Huawei hardware and services are popular among companies in all industries.

The history of cooperation between Softline and Huawei dates back to 2015. Softline has deep expertise in implementing Huawei products, such as hardware, applications, terminals, and network devices. Softline successfully implements solution integration projects not only in Russia, but also abroad. Softline has become a Gold Partner under the Huawei Enterprise partnership program due to its success in promoting Huawei equipment in Russia. Moreover, Softline is a Huawei Certified Service Partner for data transfer, power grids, and IP networks. This status confirms Softline engineers’ high qualifications and Softline service support infrastructure’s compliance to vendor requirements. The Huawei Certified Service Partner status guarantees the quality of service for the Huawei solutions implemented.

One of the most significant Softline projects on the integration of Huawei solutions is upgrading the networks of the largest federal retailer last year. Softline offered to use Huawei solutions in all the customer's distribution centers. Softline was named the best Huawei partner in Russia due to its performance in 2019 and was nominated for the Partner of the Year award.

"I am sure that the agreement will further strengthen our long-standing partnership and promote the demand for the products of one of the leading global telecom and hardware manufacturers and help us introduce new joint developments to the Russian market. Year after year, Softline has been improving its expertise and expanding the portfolio of Huawei products and industry-specific solutions. As a result, Huawei products provided by Softline meet a wide range of corporate and government customers' needs, enabling the implementation of even the most sophisticated projects,"—concluded Sergey Chernovolenko.

"We highly appreciate the cooperation with Softline, and its specialists have proven they are highly qualified by successfully implementing Huawei's advanced products and complex solutions. We are convinced that the expansion of our partnership in the areas identified today will allow us to jointly implement even more ambitious projects and achieve strategic goals in the Russian market,"—said Haijun Xiao.
