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 doesn't 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 it's 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. It's never too late to change the game.

Description:
We've entered the era of big data. The sheer volume of data created daily is mind-boggling. Yet within that data are 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 you'll be able to leave this session equipped with the knowledge to do the same.

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:
In these days of transparency, shrinking budgets and increasing demands, eDiscovery, security threats and privacy protection requirements, data management and governance has moved from a technical issue to a leadership imperative. Solid strategies are critical to keeping both the trust of the public and 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 who should be in charge of fixing and preventing issues with data so that the enterprise can become more efficient. When organizations gain control of their data, they empower their people, set up processes and get help from technology to do it.
