Bulletproof Business Cases 6/20/2013 8:00 AM - 6/20/2013 4:00 PM

Thu, 06 Jun 2013 14:36:30 GMT

Project teams often find themselves developing business cases for the performing organization. When asked to do so, it is critical to create a solid business case. All too often, project teams are asked to implement a solution before the underlying problem is known or assessed. No one likes working on misguided projects, or efforts that don’t meet business needs, or projects doomed for failure. Worst of all are projects that are cancelled because of lack of support or sponsorship. A well-defined business case helps prevent these issues. An essential ingredient to successful projects is a clear and relevant business case. It provides both insights into and a proposed solution for important business needs. Bulletproof business cases contain feasible and effective ways of justifying and recommending projects that squarely address business needs, both problems and opportunities. Through this course, you will learn a repeatable process that starts with identifying business needs and ends with a bulletproof business case. You will learn and practice applying each step in a 5-part approach to developing business cases. Help contribute to your organization’s bottom line with bulletproof business cases!

Dear Nashville Technology Council Member, The School of Computing and Informatics at Nashville’s Lipscomb University is undertaking a research initiative that addresses placement opportunities and barriers for undergraduate students within the Information Security field. The primary purpose of the study is to gauge industry perceptions of the utility of Information Security internships, co-ops, and work experiences, as well as to capture the pathways to entry for individuals new to the Information Security domain. The following short survey linked below has been compiled and you are being contacted as a possible participant because of your membership in the Nashville Technology Council. Responses are being targeted from CSOs, Information Security Officers, director-level IT security and/or those who address hiring within the Information Security area of the organization. If you fill one of these roles, then please consider responding to the short survey linked below. If you are not the correct respondent in your organization for this survey, then we ask that you forward this along to the appropriate person and encourage their participation. Our understanding is shaped by the number of respondents, so your participation is essential! Survey Link: https://survey.lipscomb.edu/surveys/?s=ExtYm3 Survey responses will be collected through the end of June and initial results published on or before July 15, 2013. The survey is short and your response is anonymous, so please consider participating! We appreciate your consideration and wish you the best.

July 2013 Peer Network Meeting- Sales & Business Development 7/2/2013 8:00 AM - 7/2/2013 9:30 AM

Wed, 15 May 2013 17:23:59 GMT

Join us for our next Sales and Business Development Peer Network on July 2^nd.
Scott Rouse will be teaching us how to build our “Body Language Frankenstein.”

Scott Rouse began his career working as a session musician in Boston while attending the famed Berklee College of Music. He learned to write, arrange and produce pop songs from the very best in the business. Being fascinated since childhood with nonverbal communication, he also trained the Gold and Platinum selling artists he worked with in body language for TV and video interviews.

As a behavior analyst and body language expert, he holds multiple certificates in advanced interview and interrogation training and has been trained alongside the FBI, Secret Service, U.S. Military Intelligence, U.S. Army Intelligence, the Nashville Metro Police Department, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations, and the Department of Defense. His extensive training, education, and practice of nonverbal communication has made him an expert and consultant to law enforcement as well as successful CEO's, attorneys, business people, and entertainers.

Outside of that, Rouse's favorite thing to do is work with startups and seasoned pros to help them create their investor pitches for funding. Rouse says “When pitching, there are movements people can make with almost every part of their body that say to potential investors ‘You can’t trust me, don’t trust me. I don’t know what I’m talking about!” Those are the things that subconsciously tell an investor's Limbic Brain that something's just not right.

Scott Rouse is Entrepreneur In Residence at the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, advisor at FLO {thinkery}, a Grammy Nominated Producer, and serial entrepreneur. Rouse actively mentors entrepreneurs and startups in marketing and branding while specializing in “fixing pitches”. Through his work with startups his reputation has grown as “The Pitch Fixer”.
