COVID-19 Update From Pink Elephant
Now that COVID-19 has been declared a global pandemic and is evolving and changing at a rapid pace, it’s understandable that we have all become distracted from work to think about our family, friends, and co-workers.
We want to reach out to you at this unprecedented and challenging time to let you know what we’re doing, how our business operations are changing, and how we are still able to help you – if needed.
IT Leadership Self-Assessment
At Pink20 a couple of weeks ago I did a session "The Re-Energized IT Leader". Mid-way through the session I described an IT Leadership Self-Assessment I've used in the past, and I've attached it here. There is not a lot of detailed instructions as I hope it is fairly self-explanatory. Anyway, let me know if you have any questions.
Good luck!
Retrospective: Pink19 – Part I
Okay, we know we’re talkers – as a premier global training, consulting and conference service provider – this is one of the vital ways we deliver information. (There are those who tell me I have a healthy dose of the garrulous gene, myself!)

Lean IT Association Reports Growing Interest in Lean
I just got off a Board call with the other members of the Lean IT Association. Great to hear that the Lean education & certification business is growing in 2018 over 2017!
Have you got your team working and think Lean?
Where Do You Start With DevOps?
There's been a ton written about DevOps in the last few years. I've tried to read a lot of it and I like the premise - but I keep coming back to basic questions like:
WHY should we do DevOps, and HOW do we get started?
and even
"WHO should be doing WHAT?"
Provocative Conference Session Titles!
This afternoon I was doing some preparation for this year's Annual IT Service Management Leadership Forum coming up in Scottsdale in August.
