<b>Summary</b><br>
Technical team leaders are often highly trained in their chosen field. But they're also often not trained in how to lead a team. They know that leadership is just as important as the technical side of the job (if not more so), but they've been left to figure out how to do it for themselves. They're frustrated because they haven't got the toolkit they need to get the best out of their team.
To build a truly exceptional technical team, you need to do three things: engage them, enable them, and energize them. In this interactive presentation, we’ll cover the following topics:
· The benefits of having a highly engaged team
· How to engage, enable, and energize your project team
· Aligning the team on communication styles and workplace values
· Empowering the team through servant leadership
· Creating and sustaining a culture of high performance
· Building performance drivers into the daily experience
· Simple techniques for maintaining momentum

The DAMA Portland Chapter is dedicated to delivering thought provoking data-centric presentations that will make you more successful in your job.

<b>Summary</b><br>
Hadoop has come a long way from the time Yahoo open sourced an effort based on a paper produced by Google. Hadoop is a billion dollar industry and is disrupting the way the world looks at data, the value of data and the intelligence that can be gleaned from data. Wherever you are in your Hadoop learning curve, you’ll likely learn something from this presentation. Even if you are brand new (perhaps especially if you are new), this is a great time to get some exposure, learn about Haddoop’s capabilities and see how to get started. It’s not scary.
Simultaneously, the in-memory revolution is moving towards mainstream adoption. Sudhir will talk about how you can move past OLTP and OLAP and embrace OLEP (Online Everything Processing) and what that means to the way we build cloud scale applications AND deliver value to customers in ways that are unprecedented and were not feasible up until now. He’ll talk about the solution characteristics and the elements of the technology stack that allow you to build these kinds of applications. Don’t miss this opportunity.
