Safe Is Risky

This month is National Stress Awareness Month with a specific focus on anxiety. What could possibly be more anxiety producing than the Deloitte “CFO Signals” report that found only 29% of CFOs say this is a good time to take greater risks.

Well, how about piling on that a new study from AlixPartners found 98% of CEOs say they need to “overhaul” their businesses within the next three years. How can you as an IT professional both stay the course and completely change everything?!

Reflecting on some of this tension, the AlixPartners study found that 85% of CEOs say they don’t know where to start to make changes.?

Simon Freakley, CEO of AlixPartners, observed:

“The pandemic forced business leaders to come to terms with the inevitability of disruption, but as we have subsequently seen, that was just a dress rehearsal…

“For those who move decisively and at pace, there is a tremendous opportunity to adapt and thrive amid the relentless disruption.”

Harvard Business Review discovered there is a difference in how “growth leaders” perform compared to their peers. Growth leaders take action in spite of the risk aversion they may feel. Growth leaders seek a variety of informed points of view to take a calculated risk and know those who remain slow to act will get left further behind.

Kubernetes Stability & Migration Workshop

To help you avoid anxiety and build confidence in your Kubernetes environment, we created a 1.5 day Stability & Migration Workshop to help you create (8) Environment Maps to systematically strip out infrastructure risk and build in stability.?

Normally, this is a $15k investment, but if you meet certain requirements (based on the number of clusters), it could be at no charge.

Here’s what to do:

1. Complete this short form by April 30th
2. List your number of clusters
3. Get more done in 36 hours than in 3-6 months
