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:
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:
Private clouds have their advantages - particularly with control and security - but public clouds are cheaper, easier and more accessible. Many government organizations are solving the dilemma by using the hybrid approach of mixing and matching resources between local infrastructure and external environments. This session focuses on ways to get the best of both worlds.

Description:
Outsourcing and insourcing aren't necessarily "all or nothing" propositions. Rightsourcing is finding the right balance. There is no doubt that staffing will be a major issue for years to come due to impending retirements, shortage of IT workers, rapidly changing technologies and limited budgets. This session looks into strategic sourcing for IT operations.

Description:
Good IT people are hard to find...and even harder to keep. Impending retirements are pushing organizations to solve this challenge sooner rather than later. To ensure that we have the skills and abilities needed to deliver complex solutions in rapidly changing environments, we must broaden our approach to talent management. This session focuses on identifying and developing tomorrow's IT professionals.

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.

Rapid advances in mobile technologies are causing fundamental changes to social and workplace interaction, resulting in an overwhelming demand for mobile solutions and applications.

Description:
It is a rule of thumb that IT planning should always look five years ahead, and enterprise architecture (EA) plays a fundamental role. EA provides a conceptual blueprint, supplying the vision, principles and standards. Current trends such as mobility, cloud, video and big data are proving to be serious game-changers. This session looks at the road ahead for state and local government IT.

Description:
A public/private partnership (PPP) is a contract between a public agency and a private sector entity in which each party shares not just skills and assets but also the potential risks and rewards. Not surprisingly, there are a variety of hurdles to overcome when forging such a relationship - legal, financial and operational. This session takes a look at how, when and where PPPs have the most chance of success.
