KEYNOTE – MASTER YOUR WORLD!

Leadership is a lot simpler when circumstances are easy. But we are not living
in easy times. Global and local issues challenge us daily. Maintaining focus –
and our teams’ focus – is a constant struggle. Regardless of our titles or
positions, we need to find ways to inspire those around us to be supportive,
communicative, and productive. To be at the top of your game requires accurately
and actively assessing both strengths and blind spots. This timely keynote
address, by renowned leadership coach and author Mary Kelly, provides actionable
takeaways for mastering your world during extraordinary times.

Mary Kelly, PhD, Former Commander, US Navy


10:10 AM CENTRAL


BITS & BYTES - THE SMART FUTURE IS HERE

The concept of smart communities (and smart government in general) has been
around for some time, but exponential progress has been made within the last few
years. Technology drivers such as connectivity, networks, cloud, IoT, AI, big
data, et al. have pushed us to the next level and the future is bright! This
session will highlight innovative smart community endeavors happening in
Minnesota.

CONCURRENT SESSIONS


WHY CYBERSECURITY INCIDENT RESPONSE SHOULD BE IMPORTANT TO YOU

The cyber landscape is constantly shifting and strategies to manage incident
response are evolving rapidly. Threats are growing exponentially, and cyber
skill sets are not keeping up. How will governments fight this battle without
the right tools and training? This session looks at current and future trends
impacting incident response and the people needed to get the job done.


THE CONSTITUENT EXPERIENCE OF TOMORROW

People are accustomed to a certain level of ease and convenience when it comes
to buying and receiving goods and services – typically through a click of a
button on their smartphones. In this fast-changing world, with soaring pressures
to be customer-centric, how can government keep up? This session deep dives the
need to manage evolving expectations that will affect the future of government
services, and what it takes to deliver these services to ensure the community
thrives into the future.


AUTOMATION IS CHANGING THE GAME

Experts have forecasted that 75% of governments will have multiple
enterprise-wide automation initiatives underway by 2024. This reality cannot be
ignored as technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) impact the work
governments do every day for the people they serve. This session delves into the
processes and strategies to use emerging technologies – ethically - that empower
humans to better utilize their skills to focus on higher-value activities.

CONCURRENT SESSIONS


DRIVING DECISIONS WITH INTELLIGENT DATA

Data is everywhere and it is being pressed into service in ways that none of us
could have imagined just a few years ago. Such a valuable commodity deserves to
be leveraged to its fullest benefit. How will you govern and use data to make
tough decisions and serve your constituents? This session discusses where we
might be falling short, with ways to overcome the challenges and risks inherent
in pushing the data envelope.


THE PARADOX OF THE NEW WORKFORCE

Does your team have all the personnel and skills you could ever desire? Do you
feel unequivocally sure that you can attract and retain the talent you need
going forward? If you answered yes to both questions… well… no one will believe
you. In the post-pandemic era, workforce issues rival cybersecurity as the #1
source of anxiety and lost sleep. But there’s hope! This session provokes
thoughts, spurs ideas, and builds confidence in how to find and retain talent
and develop organizational culture in the years to come.


NEXT LEVEL DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Embracing change means getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Digital
transformation is a particularly difficult and complex journey. Technologies are
shifting on a moment’s notice with new innovative ways to get the job done. This
session will illustrate the need to use the cloud, low-code no-code development,
and a platform approach to technology to help governments build towards the
future.


EXECUTIVE BRIEFING

GENERAL SESSION – THE DISNEY WAY – CAN IT WORK IN GOVERNMENT?

Disney will soon celebrate its 100th anniversary. For a century, the name Disney
has been synonymous with beloved customer experiences. This didn’t happen by
accident, nor did it happen overnight. It took relentless cultivation and
innovation. The result is that Disney has brand loyalty that is the envy of
organizations throughout the world. What can we learn from the Disney Way? In
this session, a renowned Disney expert helps us explore how governments can put
some of these principles into practice for the benefit of our own customers.
