Managing Clouds and Moving Goalposts Seminars

PCProfile has been in the technology sector since 1991 offering assistance and advice to managers of small and medium businesses in a practical focused manner to help them manage the people who use the technology!   

“Why is the seminar series called Managing Clouds and Moving Goalposts?”

PCProfile has been writing feature articles on a wide range of technology issues and many related to “management practices” or failing to understand what was happening around them.  

The key issues we noted were that technology changes were happening so fast around managers it was a bit like trying to “manage clouds”. 

The other issue was the rules keep changing, (nothing new here) hence the reference to “moving the goalposts”.
 
“Managing Clouds and Moving Goalposts” is a series of management focused seminars on relevant technology issues that are impacting businesses across the world and are intended to inform managers and small business owners what pragmatic solution steps can be undertaken to minimize risk.
