Not Saying No to the CEO Was Our Costliest Mistake

Not saying no to a bad call can cost you far more than an awkward conversation ever would. We were pitching schools on something nobody wanted, with no real answer to “why?” other than “the CEO said so.” Months of back-and-forth later, most of it ended up in a closet. If you think it’s the wrong call, speak up, and come with alternatives. Watch the full IT Leadership Lab session — linked above.

Prepare Your Apple Fleet for iOS 27 and macOS 27

iOS 27 and macOS 27 introduce significant changes to how organizations manage, secure, and update Apple devices. New requirements around Declarative Device Management, evolving security capabilities, and software update enforcement mean IT teams can't afford to wait until launch day. Yosune Baltra, Product Manager at Ivanti, breaks down the updates IT admins need to understand now — from Software Update Enforcement and Settings configurations to how Ivanti's Autonomous Endpoint Management solutions help you manage, secure, govern, and remediate endpoints across macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.

NinjaOne Browser Management

NinjaOne Browser Management extends endpoint management into the browser. It covers Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox on Windows, and runs from the NinjaOne agent and console you already use for patching, remediation, and backup. Most work now happens in the browser, but most IT teams still manage it with GPOs, scripts, or nothing at all. Extensions are the biggest blind spot. Every one is effectively an unmanaged agent running inside the browser, and few tools can see, patch, or remove them.

Predictive Remediation from Ivanti changes that by giving you authoritative data on your deployment history and a forward-looking view of your compliance trajectory against SLAs.

Not All AI Tools Will Survive the Shakeout

Not every AI tool has staying power, and the ones that last are the ones that fit your organization’s strategy. AI is following the same arc as the cloud push and the dot-com era: a massive boom, then a contraction. Before you invest, ask what will actually make a difference in your org, and build from there.
