Description:
In a fast-changing world, everyone is an explorer whether they know it or not, particularly in government IT. We are constantly traveling across uncharted terrain: the economy, social media, the cloud, and on and on. Was Steve Jobs any less of an explorer than Ferdinand Magellan? They definitely had one thing in common: they always looked forward and rarely looked backward. The spirit of exploration and adventure lives on, now more than ever because technology makes it possible for anyone to be an explorer in their own right. In this fascinating and rousing session, noted explorer Josh Bernstein shows us how to turn one's career into an adventure and the survival skills needed along the way.

Description:
Innovation is not just about doing new technical things, it is also about applying technology to processes that we didn't or couldn't in the past. Government is undergoing a significant transformation, and it's important to identify opportunities to improve your business processes by utilizing tools such as SaaS, COTS, homegrown apps, and next-generation ERP solutions. This session aims to provide the foundation and understanding of business process redesign and the application process management and their potential impact/benefit in the public sector environment.

Description:
In these days of transparency, shrinking budgets and increasing demands, eDiscovery, security threats, privacy protection requirements, data management and governance have moved from being technical issues to a leadership imperative. Solid strategies are critical to keeping the trust of the public, while complying with a myriad of legal and regulatory requirements. This session will feature a general discussion on data governance as a set of processes that ensures that important data assets are formally managed throughout the enterprise and address who should be in charge of fixing and preventing data issues so that the enterprise can become more efficient.

Description:
Leading in the public sector has always been challenging, but perhaps even more so today. Revenues have been decreasing for years, public sentiment about government is polarized, pressure for transparency is high, technology systems are aging, and their caretakers are retiring. Added to the mix for today's technology leaders are demands around keeping up, keeping in touch, keeping connected, and keeping pace in business and technology. Yet, while rapid change has become the new normal, the need for leadership - and the skills to provide it - remain constant. Join this session for thoughts and views on 21st century leadership and how effective leaders can not only keep pace, but set the pace as well.

Description:
The boom in consumer technology means that everyone now owns devices that are probably far more powerful and useful than those provided by the workplace. So it's unrealistic to expect that people won't use them for work-related functions to at least some degree. In many cases, organizations are actively encouraging employees to bring their own device, believing BYOD will yield a number of benefits. But is that the case? This session discusses how to evaluate the true value of BYOD with additional discussion around maintaining control and security.

Description:
We've entered the era of big and open data. The sheer volume of data created daily is mind-boggling. Yet, within that data, are the keys to better management, better service and more intelligent decision-making. Existing today are many ways to transform that data into a functional tool. From data warehousing to longitudinal data systems, this session will discuss the ins and outs of data solutions and explain how an organization can relate all of its data as a whole, which in turn can lead to advanced data analysis, reports and dashboards. You'll learn how agencies are using tools to transform big data and open data and you will leave this session equipped with the knowledge to do the same.
