Kalispel Tribe of Indians speaking on Leadership in an Automated World

Automation was described at TribalNet 2022 as “Doing less to get more done”. It is a way to enhance your workplace - not replace it - but it needs to be communicated properly to all levels of your organization.  That communication goes beyond a company wide memo, or even a direct letter to the department that will be most directly affected by the automation.  If it is not, James Beal, Director of Leadership with Kalispel Tribe, says employees will begin to write their own story and not understand the company’s goal.  Listen now for the entire conversation between James and TribalHub's Michelle Bouschor that took place during TribalNet's annual conference in September 2022.

Cybersecurity Resources Tribes & Enterprises Need to Know

Tribes across the nation are banding together to share valuable security information and best practices in a safe and  trusted environment within the new Tribal-ISAC.  You absolutely NEED to be aware of all security resources available and participate to be making the best effort in protecting your tribe or tribal enterprise. 
In late September, the TribalHub team hosted a Virtual Tribal Security Summit.  This summit turned out to be one of our most successful virtual events to date, confirming what we already knew - cyber security is on EVERYONE’S mind.  
With this podcast, we are releasing one of the sessions held during the Summit called “Cybersecurity  Resources Tribes and Enterprises Need to Know About - Tribal-ISAC, CISA, MS-ISAC and more”.  You'll hear from experts working in each of these groups in this conversation that is led by our TribalHub team member Tiffany Korenic.
