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.

Description:
Shared services and anxiety sometimes seem to go hand in hand. Is it justified? Will shared services lead to layoffs and a scarcity of good IT jobs? Is "losing control" a valid concern? Will agencies end up being held hostage? What does working "Beyond Boundaries" really mean? Questions such as these must be openly addressed in order to get buy-in to any shared services initiative. This session spotlights the vision for Nevada - at all levels - and its potential impact on each of us.

Description:
The population is getting more sophisticated - and demanding - about accessing services and information anytime, anywhere. Therefore pressure is mounting on government IT organizations to be more proactive in providing mobile apps both internally and externally. But it's not as difficult as one might think. This session looks at some innovative and successful approaches being used today.

Description:
Government is under incredible pressure right now. The economic crisis has hit us with a double whammy: exponential increases in demand and dramatically reduced resources. Government simply doesnt have the capacity to do all the good we want to do in this world.
How have we responded to these new pressures? By trotting out the old ideas. More blue ribbon panels, travel moratoriums and calls for accountability. We cut back on paper clips and cut out the training. We outsource, upgrade and rightsize. Meanwhile droves of new customers are stuck on our porch waiting to knock on our door and ask for help.
The house of government doesnt need another layer of paint or some new carpet. It needs an extreme makeover. And just like on the show it needs it done fast! Our house is full of moldy ideas that are making everyone sick and our pipes are bursting from the ever increasing demands. We can stand around arguing whether the house is too big or costs too much or we can grab some tools and fix it up. This presentation makes obvious the real problems plaguing government, how you can join the crew and gives you the tools to complete the makeover.

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. This session discusses how to embrace the trend while still maintaining control and security.

Description:
Traditional project management is deliberate and orderly, requiring a significant part of the project to be planned up front. Today, however, the pace of project management moves faster, and the trend toward shared services puts even more strain on traditional methodology. Agile Project Management (APM) and Scrum are iterative, incremental and collaborative approaches that can often be more practical and effective. This session provides an introduction to the benefits of APM and Scrum.

Description:
In modern government, the questions of open records, e-discovery and records retention are more complicated and confusing than ever. The task of determining which types of electronic records must be retained means also deciding how long to retain records, how to best preserve these records, and how and when to make them available. These issues are legally and technically complex. This session focuses on the legal, organizational and technical issues surrounding e-discovery, records retention and records management.

E3 is an iPad project that supplied five middle schools with the equipment, infrastructure, professional development, and support to provide a one-to-one 24/7 learning environment for all students. The e3 project brought together CCSD studends, teachers and administration with cutting edge technology and support, while at the same time ensuring they received all of the components for a successful implementation of a student-centered solution. This project provided important information on the viability and instructional effectiveness of these 21st century technologies.This session is a must-see for any entity or community interested in implementing a mobile device solution.
