5 Critical Problems IT Communities Face Today
1
Vendor-Disguised Events
So-called "leadership forums" that are actually elaborate sales pitches and "C-Scares" designed to sell solutions.
2
Mixed Skill Levels
Groups that combine entry-level technicians with senior leaders, diluting the value of every conversation.
3
Surface-Level Discussions
Irrelevant, unsophisticated topics that waste your valuable time and offer no actionable insights.
4
Ego-Dominated Conversations
Breakout sessions with no guidance where 1-2 people dominate the conversation to validate themselves.
5
Ego-Dominated Conversations
Events that demand physical presence at inconvenient times, making consistent participation impossible.

What IT Leaders are saying
"I've been involved with NorEx for a long time. What I find the value proposition is... no vendors are allowed and it's really cheap. But what I do find is that it's a very mixed bag of people that attend. And there's not enough leadership level people who are dealing with leadership issues that can comment on it. It's not curated enough."
David Kiklis
Chief Information Officer
"The amount of time I had to spend in virtual round-table discussions to glean any useful information out of it in relation to what my objectives were was counter productive... What I want is more sophisticated discussions around personal management styles, methods of process and procedure creation."
Joshua Peavy
Director of Information Technology
"It was late in our procurement process and we were ready to make a big decision on Microsoft licensing and a unified communications solution. I scheduled a call with Phil just to double check our numbers and research. After talking with Phil for 15 minutes, he showed us a better solution that cut our monthly licensing costs by 82% and saved us an additional $360,000 in capital expenditure."
