Threat – buy-in from organizationJune 7, 2024 at 8:48 am in reply to: Create a SWOT analysis of your current or anticipated ITAM program. #60422Robert ByrdParticipantStrengths: Standards are set Centrally.
Weakness: Assets are not in a central system but rather all over the place. No common tool, official roles not defined.
Opportunities: Create an “IS” map and a “SHOULD” map, begin to build out experienced roles at the top and start with the core KPA’s
Threat: security, costly waste, environmental impact,June 7, 2024 at 8:38 am in reply to: Describe a time when there was a miscommunication and explain how you handled it. #60421Robert ByrdParticipantCommunicated the need to have CAPEX requirements submitted with associated OPEX. I had assumed all employees receiving the message understood how to apply the CAPEX to OPEX run rates. This created a higher-than-expected forecast for OPEX. I then held a meeting to go through several examples and explain how to properly apply CAPEX to OPEX budgets.
Robert ByrdParticipantFeedback and Improve!
Robert ByrdParticipantReflect on your strengths and weaknesses. Create a list detailing your best qualities and areas for improvement. Seek feedback from others to gain a better understanding of yourself. Continuously learn and expand your knowledge. Consider reputable online courses or in-person programs to enhance your leadership skills. Inspire others by genuinely caring about ideas or goals. Involve your team in decision-making and recognize their contributions. Regularly assess your progress and learn from both successes and failures

June 7, 2024 at 8:08 am in reply to: Discuss how the Acquisition Manager acts as a gatekeeper. #60416Robert ByrdParticipantThe acquisition manager acts as sort of an auditor to ensure that the request is valid, scoped appropriately as to leverage the overall organization size, volume and needs. Furthermore, ensures that there is not existing choice available to fit the needs as well as reducing any compliance issues that may not be known by the requestor.
June 7, 2024 at 8:04 am in reply to: How will you explain the various job titles to the Human Resources Department? #60415Robert ByrdParticipantCreate job descriptions that tie back to the roles that are required. These should not only include the requirement of the role but you should also be able to show career paths amongst the roles.
Robert ByrdParticipantThe new roles being created at the top do match. However, as you go down the structure they do not as asset management has not been a “role” type but more pieces of others time. We intend to change that.
June 7, 2024 at 8:01 am in reply to: Do you or will you have personnel lined up to support the management roles? #60413Robert ByrdParticipantWe will have this and have begun the top-level assignments.
June 7, 2024 at 8:00 am in reply to: How can your organization help the environment when it comes to IT assets? #60412Robert ByrdParticipantEnsuring disposal of assets are done in a environmentally friendly manner and perhaps even redeploy the asset rather than requiring a new one if possible.
June 7, 2024 at 7:32 am in reply to: Does your organization already have asset disposal? If not, what’s one thing you can do when you return to encourage that? #60411Robert ByrdParticipantWe do. I would encourage a repository that ties back to the asset management system the documentation of disposal in the same way we documented the procurement.
