Description:
The Johnson Space Center is NASA's center for spaceflight training, research and mission control. Its workforce of 15,000 includes a hundred astronauts, hundreds of scientists and thousands of engineers. It is perhaps the most exhilarating organization in the world - and at times the most daunting. Lieutenant General "Beak" Howell was the Director of the Space Center when the worst imaginable thing happened: the Columbia shuttle explosion in 2003. It was a demanding test of leadership, but one that Beak was uniquely qualified to meet after a career of profound - and often astounding - experiences. In this fascinating session, he shares the challenges and lessons learned that led to his legendary "Beak's Rules of Leadership".

Speakers:
- Christopher Campbell - Director, Division of Telecommunications, Department of Management Services, State of Florida
|
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 simply unreasonable to expect that people won't use them for work-related functions to at least some degree. This session discusses how to embrace the trend - and mobility in general - while still maintaining control and security.

Description:
The forecast is certain: the cloud is here to stay and it's pretty much unavoidable. The only remaining questions are how, when and to what extent the cloud should be used by government organizations. Clearly, some services are more appropriate than others. This session explores what's new in the cloud and who is using it successfully.

Description:
If there is a silver lining to tough times, it's that it's easier to break down barriers and promote collaboration. So it's no surprise that current conditions are motivating government organizations to get more creative in sharing systems, applications, information and services. This session looks at several cross/boundary initiatives that are sure to inspire, motivate, and get the wheels turning about what might be possible in your own organization.

Speakers:
- Paul Cosgrave - Senior Fellow, Center for Digital Government, and Former CIO of New York City and the Internal Revenue Service
|
Description:
If you had to describe the IT industry with just a single word, that word would be change. Change is the one thing - perhaps the only thing - about technology that never changes! This session takes an educated and candid look around the corner to answer burning questions such as:
What is the private sector doing that was not the case two years ago?
How is the IT industry changing?
How do these changes translate into government -
and when?
How will government stay relevant in a digital society?
Where will customers push you as a service provider?
Where should you be pushing your customers and how?
What realities might change the direction of your organization?
This multi-media session, based on research by the Center for Digital Government and interviews with visionaries in both sectors, explores current and potential game-changers and how to get ready for what lies ahead.

Description:
As paperless government moves closer to becoming a reality, the challenge is to determine how to store, manage and leverage vast amounts of digital information, especially in light of open government, eDiscovery and the profusion of video and mapping. The key is adopting a workable information lifecycle management strategy, including data "de-duplication" and intelligent storage. This session focuses on tools, technologies and tactics.
