Throw in the complications of regulations, a changing workforce, constantly evolving technology, plus the chaos of day-to-day life, and you are facing some serious challenges.

Does IT have a role to play? Absolutely. The process underway in the state will align every employee to measures that matter and engage them in process improvement through an intentional Lean-based system of management. The effort will drive focus on the areas where processes are falling short of meeting customer needs, and will ensure processes are improved before they are considered for automation.

Niels Goldstein, Director, Emerging Technology Practice Cloud Solutions, CGI Rachna Srivastava, Senior Vertical Marketing Manager, State, Local Government and Education, Nutanix Expectations of a Constantly Connected Generation Russell Technology is transforming society in fundamental ways as new generations grow up using digital devices before they can even walk or talk. 24/7 connectivity and engagement are taken for granted, and citizens expect their government to follow suit.

Carl Drescher, Technology Services Director, Town of Marana Ryan Sadler, Application Services Manager, Department of Health Services, State of Arizona Lean in Arizona Borein Lean Principles’ have moved off the factory floor and evolved into an effective tool for project managers to streamline the project cycle from the top down.

10:15 am Mountain no DST	Break Regency Ballroom A/B
10:45 am Mountain no DST	Fast Track Sessions Regency Ballroom C/D Cognitive Technologies Cognitive is defined as intellectual activity (i.e., thinking, reasoning or remembering). In other words, what humans do. Cognitive technology thus means “able to perform tasks that only humans used to be able to do”, and it’s a science that is advancing exponentially. Are we in danger of becoming irrelevant? Not at all. Cognitive-based systems, such as IBM Watson, are designed not to replace us but to extend our cognition and free us to think more creatively. This session provides an introduction to a technology that has enormous potential and implications for government and society. Tim Paydos, Vice President, World Wide Government Cognitive Solutions Team, IBM (@timpaydos) The Watchful Eye of Location Based Services At one time, GIS was a complex, unapproachable technology with no applicability for the layman. Then came mobility, location-based applications and GPS. Today, GIS is an increasingly vital component of government agencies’ work, helping employees make more intelligent, informed decisions, improving collaboration, increasing productivity and lowering costs. This session sheds a light on exactly how location based services are being applied for practical uses in government.
