I am looking to find a way to setup work between my assistant and myself, as this is a new work relationship. Would any of you have a list of tasks or how work is shared between your assistant and the manager?

Best is to first start sharing expectations, What do you expect as a manager from your assistant, and what does you assistant need from you to do so. Also, what would you define in terms as need-to-know and nice-to-know, helping to set priorities. After that, way of working on the how. And keep communicating to get to know eachother!

I use Microsoft Teams. In the embedded apps there is a MsTasks Plugin, what you get is a list of assignments, you can assign priority and who will take care of it. finally you  have also a view as a Kanban board where your assistant could pick the unattended/unassigned tasks to complete them.

We are studying to build new thermoelectric power generators. As the CIO I’d like to influence this process (it has not initiated yet), by unifying operational data in order to: 1) increase the automatization of the plant - and reduce costs; 2) have this data available for further utilization (AI, Analytics, etc). One of the main barriers is that a thermoelectric has several pieces of equipment and each one has different software (and data) stack.

How can we work with this challenge ? Does anyone have any insights/experience with that?

I am new to managing an inside sales organization (chemical manufacturing B2B). I would like to offer some training on inside selling skills to a team of 12 (techniques, best practices). I am wondering if anyone would be interested in sharing their perspectives or if you have had success with a third-party training company.
