Peter Gray

Whether focused on improving innovation, making faster and better decisions or improving overall effectiveness, you need to take a different approach in today’s flatter organizations.  Success demands effective collaboration within and across organizational, functional, physical and hierarchical boundaries. In this context a network perspective yields multiple performance improvement opportunities that traditional managerial tools such as process mapping, culture surveys and activity analyses all miss. This presentation demonstrates why and how executives must pay attention to collaboration and networks within their organizations. Specifically, for CIO’s and senior IT executives, this presentation provides a CIO perspective to:                 
  • Based on research done at the McIntire School of Commerce - University of Virginia, demonstrate the way a network lens provides unique insights for leaders to improve value-added collaboration and concurrently performance (organizational and individual), innovation and quality of work life.      
  • Discuss the role of collaboration tools and technology in facilitating effective networks in an organization.       
  • Review policy and risk management considerations as collaboration becomes more technology enabled both within and across organizational boundaries.

Webster University's School of Business

Dean Akande has spent the past two years interviewing students aged 18-28 all over the world. The result is an unfolding manuscript about what he calls the greatest generation yet, the I.P.O.D.ers.

Who are these I.P.O.D.ers? They are a growing yet significant population that is Internet savvy, Phone-addicted, Opportunistic and Digitally conscious.

The future will be owned by organizations that embrace what the I.P.O.D.ers have to offer, then enable those unique characteristics as a developmental exercise that will ensure future success. The organizations that will become the popular destination for the I.P.O.D.ers will be the ones savvy enough to welcome emerging trends, bold enough to change long before they have to and smart enough to recognize the power of technology as the currency of the future. Like the I-Generation, organizations must continue to look around corners and embrace what lies ahead.

Lindell Ballroom D

Sponsored by IBM

Chris Cotteleer
Principal
Doculabs

Effective management of content has become increasingly critical for organizations facing litigation, as they seek to manage potentially discoverable information.  Additionally, organizations face heightened oversight from both internal audit and external regulatory bodies.  The technology to manage content has become a key part of how an organization approaches its ability to capture, store, manage and produce information.

Today, an estimated 85 to 90 percent of the content created within an organization now exists electronically. Business operations are generating vast volumes of unstructured data – ranging from the content created in desktop applications to the web content and digital assets that are created and used in the course of business. Add to this the growing volume of digital communications – email, as well as the increasing use of instant messaging, PDAs, and voicemail – and it’s clear that today’s organization has many more sources of information to manage than the organization of even just five years ago. This presentation will share best practices and recommendations for how your organization can leverage investments in ECM to manage information for compliance, specifically:
  • Where does Records Management fit into the discovery process for litigation, audit, and regulation?
  • How does technology serve as the foundation for discovery initiatives?
  • Why do we need a program to address discovery issues?
  • What does it take to develop and implement a compliance program?
  • What is the business case for these programs in the absence of large scale litigations?
