“Will the recessionary storm continue or are there breaks in the clouds on the horizon? In either case, government continues to be called upon to deliver constituent services at unprecedented levels with fewer and fewer resources at hand. How do we succeed in our mission? The Los Angeles Technology Forum faithfully continues to provide an ideal venue for our government colleagues and commercial partners to connect and share innovative, cost effective technology strategies and solutions with focus on our most taxing challenges.”
~ Randi Levin, Chief Technology Officer, City of Los Angeles
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?
AFTERNOON KEYNOTE
The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves
Gopal Kapur, President, Center for Project Management
Furloughs, budget cuts, hiring freeze and the threat of layoffs are creating havoc even in organizations that have never faced morale problems. In their responses to the Center for Project Management's 2009 annual survey, 66 percent of executives indicated that low team morale is a critical issue. Is your organization suffering from this malaise? If so, does your organization resort to "beatings" to improve performance? Is there another way? What is your role in improving morale?
You can sit back in your office and fret over the economic downturns and the effect it is having on your staff and your peers, or you can hear about the steps you can take to help improve the situation.
