Georgia Digital Government Summit 2010

“Georgia is taking an enterprise view of its technology investments.  We must make technology a strategic initiative and help decision makers see the critical role technology plays in the delivery of services.  As a state, we are maturing in our approach to technology and how we invest, and the Georgia Digital Summit plays an important role in bringing the technology leaders in this state together.  It helps us focus our view of technology so we can make the right investment decisions.  We are building on the momentum from last year to make 2010 our most strategic and thought-provoking Summit yet, and I look forward to seeing you in September.”
– Patrick Moore, Chief Information Officer, State of Georgia

“The City of Atlanta IT organization finds the Georgia Digital Government Summit to be an outstanding and cost effective method to supplement our training. I would recommend this event to any IT organization.”
– Dan Smith, Chief Information Officer, City of Atlanta

“Every year I attend the annual Georgia Digital Government Summit and I walk away with many new ideas on how to leverage technology to improve government services. It’s a great opportunity for our state and local technologists to come together and share lessons learned.”
– Ryan Fernandes, Chief Information Officer, Fulton County

OPENING KEYNOTE

Off Balance on Purpose

Dan Thurmon, Author and Peak Performance Coach

Life is an off balance proposition. Achieving balance – a perfect symmetry – is an unrealistic objective. You will never get there! Life is in constant motion, and priorities and resources change all the time. That’s why we need to embrace and initiate off balance moments in order to successfully engage life in all its aspects. In this dynamic keynote address, Dan Thurmon uses highly visual and creative means to demonstrate that “off balance” is how we learn, grow, excel and fully experience what is happening around us. It’s tough out there right now. The question is: Are you thrown off balance in response to your world or are you off balance on purpose?

SECOND DAY KEYNOTE

“Life After”

Paul Cosgrave, Senior Fellow, Center for Digital Government, Former CIO of New York City, and Former CIO of the Internal Revenue Service
 
You’ve made cuts in your budgets, staff, services and some of your most strategic programs and projects. As a result, you’ve probably been left with greatly lowered expectations about what comes next, if you’ve allowed yourself to think about it at all. But there are encouraging signs that the worst is over. Suddenly the most important question becomes "How do we survive the recovery?" If this has been a different kind of recession, it calls for a different kind of recovery. Some call it a “fundamental reset.” It’s an unprecedented opportunity – if we’re ready. This keynote address is filled with practical advice while exploring what “life after” might be like for our organizations, for the communities we serve and for us as individuals.
