Identity Management Success

Greetings everyone!

Welcome to Episode 18, in our ongoing series of Identity Management Success Podcasts. A lot of material in today’s episode, including (but not limited to)….

• Updates on the forthcoming IAM Success Tips:  Volume 2 (Planning and Organizing)
• Discussion of podcast format changes (such as the new title format you’re seeing with this episode)
• Update on Identity Management Success List members only bonus materials (You are subscribed…right?)
• Discussion of a common FAQ question:  ”What are the differences between Stages and Phases in an IAM Program?”
• Discussion of common FAQ question: “Everyone else is doing it, why can’t we?” or put another way, “Since we don’t know what we want to do, could you tell me what our competitor down the street did, and can we do exactly the same thing in our organization? — very heated topic, and one I get asked quite a lot (in different forms) from almost every client.
• And, much…much…more

Enjoy!

All the Best, of Identity Management Success
