Darwin John |
OPENING KEYNOTE - "GROOMING THE NEXT CIO"
Presented by: Darwin John, Former CIO, FBI
Discussion: One of only 32 members inducted into the CIO Magazine Hall of fame; Darwin will speak to the realities of today and the requirements of the role of CIO going forward which will be both more complex and require more leadership capability. Beyond that he will speak to the "call to action" for those of us in the field, if we are to be responsive. This call to action will be about leadership that can deliver the basics of IT in a flawless manner. It is about earning ones way into the inner circle of leadership of the enterprise with earned trust, respect and credibility. It is about leading change in ones self and others. Therefore what must we do or do differently. This will include proactive approaches to the transformation required between where we are and where we must be. Finally, will be a period of dialog with the attendees to explore, challenge, probe and test concepts presented |

Phil Zwieg |
"THINKING AND LEADERSHIP…. WHAT'S THE REAL LINK?"
Presented by: Phil Zwieg, VP IS, NW Mutual (Ret.), Facilitator, Regional Leadership Forum
Discussion: We often assume, either correctly or incorrectly, that leadership and thinking must be connected. How can they not be? How can one be an effective leader without being a thinker? But thinking has been described in many ways….system thinking, creative thinking, focused thinking, critical thinking, abstract thinking, thinking out-of-the-box, etc. All of them can probably be tied to leadership in one way or another. Through a series of interactive exercises and shared experiences, this session will focus on how thought processes can be either a stimulus to effective leadership or a detriment. Once some insight is gained, what is the value of having sufficient time to “think” in today’s ever more harried and stressed business environment. |

"INFORMATION GOVERNANCE: SMARTER STRATEGIES TO MAXIMIZE YOUR INFORMATION SUPPLY CHAIN"
Presented by: Vijay Ramaiah, Director of PLM, Data Governance Solutions, IBM Software Group
Discussion: The volume and variety of digital information is exploding as our Planet becomes more instrumented, interconnected and intelligent. Current economic times require corporations and governments to analyze new information faster and make timely decisions for achieving business goals within budget. Look around you and think about all the new types of information your organization is collecting that it previously did not capture 10, 5, or even a single year ago. How do you manage and protect this information today? Is your organization able to harness this data to drive smarter business outcomes and ensure your company is prepared for the future?
In this session we will discuss best practices to master the complete lifecycle of information, establish sustainable management of information quality and security, and enable IT to make information more accessible and meaningful to the business. Learn how an effective governance strategy can enable IT and business to collaborate more effectively by ensuring information is aligned to business goals. Understand how your organization can take a holistic approach to improve operational efficiency by reducing risk and wasted time and cost associated with finding, understanding, and managing information |

Doug Hubbard |
CLOSING KEYNOTE - "PULSE: THE INTERNET AS THE ULTIMATE MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT FOR BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT"
Presented by: Douglas W. Hubbard, President, Hubbard Decision Research
Discussion: In this session, Doug Hubbard, author of How to Measure Anything and The Failure of Risk Management will present his latest research into a new way to use the internet. As more people use Twitter, Facebook, Craigslist, eBay and Amazon, it is become more feasible to use the “tracks” they leave behind as an important source of business intelligence. Reports on the frequency of particular searches on Google can be used to determine if unemployment is decreasing or even to determine where flu outbreaks occur first. Ranks of books on Amazon can be analyzed to determine whether housing is recovering or if more people are going into their own business. New methods for searching blogs and twitter can give you the "buzz" on your company. The internet has become the most powerful socio-economic measurement tool in history - and is yet vastly underutilized for this purpose. Find out what’s next for this new way of analyzing trends in business, government, and popular culture. |
