Pluralsight has developed a tech forecast report that explores the tech landscape through skills gaps,  IT security, cloud skills, tech workforce,  upskilling barriers and moving to a multi-cloud.

2023 Tech Forecast- Build a recession-proof tech workforce

More and more organizations find themselves juggling multiple cloud providers—some through careful planning, but many by happenstance. 
Regardless of their journey, many companies may be asking, “what now?”

Join Pluralsight author and cloud expert Janani Ravi for an in-depth discussion on how to build a successful hybrid, multi-cloud strategy. 

You’ll learn:
- Popular beliefs about cloud, and the evidence that supports and contradicts those beliefs
- Questions to ask when building and implementing a cloud strategy (and what the answers should look like)
- Technological design patterns that matter in a hybrid, multi-cloud, ML/AI-permeated world

CIO Guide, Building a successful hybrid, multi-cloud strategy

If the last few years have proved anything, it’s that the world is so unpredictable, you can never truly future-proof your team. 
You can, however, build a future-proficient team. One with the talent and mobility to adapt to coming disruption in all its forms. Organisations need to change the way they think about and invest in their tech teams, they must invest in their people and processes first before implementing new technology. 
Tech strategies, or how you leverage technology to achieve your organisation’s goals, are directly affected by your organisation’s talent strategies. Talent strategies that are data-backed and human-supported are the prerequisite for effective tech strategies.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that 91% of tech leaders believe implementing new technologies in their organisation requires continual investment in talent and business processes. Investing in the right talent strategies means organisations can no longer afford to participate by being passive consumers of talent. They must, instead, redefine traditions by becoming creators of talent. 

Join this session by Pluralsight EVP EMEA, Sean Farrington to learn how Pluralsight can support you to lead in a cloud-first world.

Lead in a cloud-first world

According to Pluralsight's State of Cloud report, 75% of tech leaders state they are building all new products and features in the cloud moving forward. 
However, 64% of learners say they’re new to cloud computing and only 8% of learners surveyed say they have significant cloud-related experience. This is not a skills gap, it is a skills canyon.
Join this session in which Pluralsight's GM of Skills, Gary Eimerman explains the big picture Pluralsight sees around Cloud Transformation and how the recently acquired A Cloud Guru platform can play a vital role in upskilling your teams for a successful cloud transformation.

Cloud Transformation: The Big Picture

Organisations everywhere are trying to leverage cloud computing to achieve business or mission goals. For today’s business, cloud represents a wholesale change in how information technology is delivered.

In this webinar, we'll discuss cloud computing and the security challenge of it all. First, we'll explore a short history of cloud computing. Next, we'll cover the basic cloud computing concepts and introduce the key cloud computing transition security challenges.

Finally, we'll learn how to be able to describe the value this new model delivers and explain how to effectively address some of the most important cloud cyber security concerns.

The importance of cloud security

Modern application architecture isn't what it used to be. 
Maybe in your organization you've already evolved from monolithic applications to a distributed architecture with Web APIs or Microservices. But now that the cloud has matured there are now also several new cloud-exclusive options to consider. 

The goal of this session is to help you make sense of it all. It offers a comparison of all these technologies. 
I'll start with giving you a quick overview of the ones that are already around for some time and then you'll learn about the new kids on the block like serverless computing, cloud service buses and cloud databases. 

Join us for this session with Pluralsight Author Roland Guijt, Microsoft MVP, international speaker, consultant and trainer specializing in cloud and web technology. You'll leave with confidence to make the right architectural decisions in your organization.

Understanding Modern Distributed Cloud Architecture

We often find ourselves enthusiastic for any new "silver bullet" that promises the possibility of addressing our tech development workforce and have great aspirations for the outcomes. 
The reality can be rather different - we don't think of the 'How to' but more about the 'How do'. 

Hear from Marnie Threapleton, Head of Professional Services EMEA, how Pluralsight Professional Services can align your platform to your organisation and workforce to realise value and accelerate your tech workforce development faster.

Making sense of a technology platform to realise and accelerate value

Organisations can shift entire workloads to the cloud, and yet still not achieve the most transformational benefits of the cloud. In this session, David will review the overall approach for a cloud transformation while focusing on nine anti-patterns that tempt organisations during the process.  He will discuss each of these anti-patterns and how they can be avoided for the long-term benefit of the organisation.

Key takeaways:

- What organisational constructs are essential for the success of a cloud transformation

- How to spot each anti-pattern and what steps can be taken to avoid them

- When and how to implement learning objectives to guide resources to embrace the cloud

- How to structure teams to avoid long-term information silos

9 Ways to Fail when Executing a Cloud Transformation

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere! AI is transforming our world as its revolutionising industries across the globe. However, most executives, managers, and IT professionals have not yet developed a strategy to succeed with AI.

Join Matthew Renze while he discusses how successful organisations are using AI to generate value. Matthew will explain how businesses are automating their operating model, placing an AI factory at the centre, and leveraging the benefits of AI for competitive advantage. We'll also see several case studies to provide insight to help you develop your own AI strategy.

The future belongs to those who invest in AI today – don’t get left behind!

Developing your Ai strategy

Developing your AI strategy

The “Great Resignation” has shaken up the tech industry in ways never seen before. Combined with existing challenges from tech skill shortages widely felt across the financial services industry, companies need to quickly develop a workforce development strategy designed to attract new talent, as well as enable reskilling and upskilling from within.

How do companies compete for top tech talent today? What are the best ways to hold on to employees? How do you continue to develop an expertly trained tech workforce to build products and services to support your long-term growth? These are some of the questions that will be answered in our webinar on Tuesday, 19th April.

Hear how Bupa, Nomura and Pluralsight have partnered to approach these challenges as they discuss the most innovative ways to recruit, retain and grow talented employees.

Strategies to Recruit & Retain the Best Tech Talent

"A timeless challenge for senior leaders is managing the productivity of their employees, teams, and organisation as a whole. Like most things in business, what gets measured gets done, and identifying the right measurements drives the business' overall productivity. 

Join Nicholas Russo, International Expert in networking and design, to learn about what works, what doesn't work, and some ideas about how you can change the way your engineers work to keep them productive."

Measuring Engineering Productivity in Real Life

"Python’s rise in popularity has been steady and dramatic over the last 10 years, and developers are constantly finding new ways to use this general purpose programming language. 

This widespread use means that Python isn’t going anywhere any time soon—and it also means Python’s weaknesses are regularly brought into focus, creating a chance for other technologies to improve upon Python’s shortcomings and for Python to meet market needs. 

Join Python expert Austin Bingham for a live event where he’ll take a look at what we can anticipate from Python in the next few years, and learn why:

Python has been displaced in some areas
It’s a good time for Python to consider some of its well-known weaknesses 
The overall rate of change in the core of Python will stay low
The tooling around Python development will stabilize and improve, and we’ll start to recognize and settle on new best-practices"
