Description:
We are facing difficult times. The pressure to do more with less, deliver to deadlines, and respond to increasing expectations has in many cases created an epidemic of stress and dysfunction. Everything seems so serious, and to Tim Gard this is not an acceptable way to work and live. Although he is one of the funniest men in America, Tim doesnt make light of serious situations; he shines light on them to reveal previously unseen possibilities. He points out that everyone smiles and laughs in the same language, and finding humor when its most needed can be the very best way to boost morale and restore a creative atmosphere. After all, life is a game or should be! It all depends on how one looks at things. By shifting your perspective, you can change your experience and the experience you create for others in a real, tangible, and valuable way. Its never too late to change the game.

Presented by:
- Cathilea Robinett - Executive Vice President, Center for Digital Government and Government Technology magazine

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 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.
