6:15 PM MANAGING PEOPLE IN CHANGING TIMES - PANEL DISCUSSION

The technology industry is going through massive changes. We are seeing technology change at a rapid pace and an increased leveraging of virtual resources such as SaaS, Cloud, etc. How is the technology change impacting the way we manage our IT organizations? How will our IT organization needs change in the next few years? What, if any key capabilities and skills do we need to support out businesses?

Businesses are asking to do more with less and to be more innovative. Unemployment is the highest it has been for technology professionals. Why are we as IT leaders continually fighting for key talent? Is San Diego losing the battle of recruiting to Silicon Valley? How do we manage doing more with less, while responding to more requests for a better work-life balance?

Our teams are comprised of Gen X (Baby Boomers), Gen Y (Millennial) and Gen Z (Internet Generation), each of which have key differences in how they learn, perform. It's not business as usual to attract and retain talent. What are some of the strategies to help manage a changing IT organization? Join us as we have a panel of experts to facilitate a discussion around "Managing People in Changing IT Landscape".

6:30 PM Adapting and Surviving Consumerization, Barb Gomoloski, Managing VP at Gartner

Consumerization is driving many changes to our enterprise IT strategy. The boundaries of the enterprise have shifted as the applications and services delivered to consumers are changing the employee expectations of their workplace applications and services. Consumer platforms such as iPhone and Android are being forced into enterprises, often before the enterprise understands the full impact of the security and management of these devices. How do companies manage and set expectations around what to "bring into” the organization? How do we get ahead of this Tsunami of requests to "keep up with the technology I have at home”?

About our Speakers:

Barb Gomoloski
Barbara Gomolski is managing vice president within the CIO Research group at Gartner. Ms. Gomolski has worked with clients to help them set IT investment levels and optimize the return on those investments. She also spearheaded Gartner's primary research in the area of IT spending for many years.

Ken Wright
While attending grad school, Ken Wright started working at Stone on weekends (mostly for the beer benefits). It soon became clear that folks who work at breweries are generally a much happier lot than those who work in academia, so Ken ditched the PhD path and entered the wonderful world of craft beer full time. As Stone's Minister of Indoctrination, Ken directs the highly acclaimed brewery tour program, makes media appearances and emcees special events. He has been with the brewery for seven years and has loved every minute of it.
