Enablement Entrées:
Episode 6 – Who You Gunna Call?!

Welcome to the final—but not quite the messiest—episode of NCSi’s Enablement Entrées! For our big holiday send-off, we’re bringing back the OG duo that started this whole delicious adventure: Bryan Hadzik and Jan Steenblik. And this time, they’re joined by two very special guests: NCSi CEO Bryan Boam, making his debut as our self-appointed chocolatier, and Ivanti’s own Dan Lutter, who flies in to help stir the pot (and maybe save the kitchen).

What’s on the menu:

This Christmas-themed finale is packed with laughter, leadership insights, and enough chocolate to violate several OSHA guidelines. Together, the crew whips up chocolate-covered caramel pretzels, walks through the “NCSi-standard” method (a.k.a. total chaos), and proves once again that sprinkles fix almost anything. In

This Episode You’ll See:

• Hadzik & Jan reunite for the series wrap-up and holiday goodies reveal
• CEO Bryan Boam showing off his serious chocolatier energy, and his C-level prowess.
• Dan Lutter sharing how he can help customers from vision to success
• A behind-the-scenes look at executive engagement, sales acceleration, and big-picture strategy

Episode 5 – ITAM, Discovery & Migration Magic with Ashley Carpenter!

In this episode, Ashley Carpenter, NCSi’s Commercial Sales Director, takes center stage alongside a few special (and very adorable) helpers. While Bryan Hadzik takes kitchen duty, mixing up a batch of “healthy-ish” protein balls. Ashley dives into key topics that help clarify and strengthen customer conversations across Ivanti solutions:

What’s on the menu:

• ITAM vs. Discovery: Understand the differences between Ivanti Neurons for IT Asset Management and Discovery, what’s counted, what’s not, and how to guide customers through licensing and data clarity.
• Security Migrations: Learn why EPM migrations to the cloud mean more than just “moving up”, they unlock proactive bots, real-time visibility, and streamlined device management.
• ESM Migrations: Explore how Enterprise Service Management migrations simplify upgrades, reduce maintenance, and open opportunities for ITSM bundling (plus, a few FedRAMP insights!). Between the lessons, the kitchen chaos, and a few chocolate chips mysteriously disappearing, this episode proves that learning about IT solutions doesn’t have to be dry.

Bonus: Ashley’s recipe for success (and protein snacks) is included, no oven required, just plenty of laughs. Watch now to learn, laugh, and maybe even roll up your sleeves for a snack break.

Expect plenty of laughs, lettuce puns, and a sriracha cameo—all wrapped up in a bite-sized blend of enablement and edibles.

Enablement Entrées:
Episode 1 – Upsell / Cross Sell Strategy Meets Spicy Sausage

In the premiere episode of NCSi’s Enablement Entrées, we serve up more than just food for thought. Join Bryan Hadzik and Jan Steenblik in a flavorful fusion of professional enablement and culinary adventure.

As Jan whips up a sizzling dish of Mushroom-Spinach Gnocchi with Spicy Sausage (spoiler: there’s a lot of butter and even more Parmesan), Bryan dishes out bite-sized strategies for upselling and cross-selling Ivanti products to existing customers. Learn how to “fish” for opportunity, handle happy and grumpy customers, and serve up value with tools like health checks, ambush demos, and the “art of the possible.”

While Jan channels her inner chef (black gloves and all) to masterfully pan-fry gnocchi, Bryan stirs up actionable insights on how to elevate customer conversations from Security Controls to Neurons, and from ITSM to ITAM. It’s half cooking show, half sales masterclass, and fully entertaining.

Come for the comfort food, stay for the enablement. And remember: it’s pronounced nyoh-kee, but even if you butcher the name, just don’t butcher the upsell.

Watch the episode, try the recipe, and let us know if your gnocchi turned out better than your last client pitch.
