Topic: Modernizing technology infrastructure to meet new demands
Description:
2020 has certainly forced us all to adapt to new ways of working. Whether learning how to work with remote teams, adapting business models during a global pandemic, or modernizing technology infrastructure to meet these new demands, with the uncertainty of our new normal, people are forced to change. While uncomfortable, most people in your organization will go along with “pandemic-driven” change because they have no choice. Rapid changes in technology are difficult and often leave out important steps in communication, empathy, and enablement. And let’s face it: you can spend time and money on technology changes, but if people are slow to adopt, you won’t achieve ROI for some time if at all.
Genevieve Vega and Jen Witter are experienced change practitioners with Slalom. They will help us gather in in SIG (special interest group) breakout sessions so we can discuss the most pressing change(s) we face in our roles. They’ll provide us with tools to understand the people side of change so we can prepare for faster, smoother adoption to realize benefits sooner. Join forces with your peers to compare and commiserate with your unique challenges; and use the new ideas that you hear about by leveraging the change models provided during the group session. Be ready to choose your peer group for networking zoom rooms in Digital Risk / Security, Data Analytics, Infrastructure, Applications, Programs and Program Management, and DevOps & Software Engineering. It’s also a great opportunity to continue the conversation from your SIG in Slack!
