\, \;\nModerator: Bud B orja (CGI). \;\n \;\nThe idea of Smart Cities has been around f or a while.

It is very exciting to consider all the transfor mational possibilities when cities are digitally enabled\, as well as th e impact of emerging technology such as self-driving cars on the City ad ministrative model and the local economy. But what are the barriers to r ealizing this future? Which cities are having successes and which are ha ving failures? How about our own City of Portland and other cities in th e metropolitan area? \;\n \;\n
Join us for the SIM Portland April 2018 meeting when we will review what is happening with IT and Smart Ci ties. We will have a panel of thought leaders speaking on NextGen wired and wireless network\, Internet of Things (IoT) and sensors\, autonomous vehicles\, as well as big data &\; visualization.

Think– the Internet\, virt ualization\, cloud\, the smartphone to name a few. That has however been one exception – the wide area network (WAN)\, that is … until now. One of the hottest topics in IT Infrastructure is Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN or SDWAN). It is a specific application of software-def ined networking (SDN) technology applied to WAN connections. WAN links a re used to connect enterprise networks – including branch offices and da ta centers – over large geographic distances. SDWAN technologies promise the moon\; lower costs\, faster performance\, business agility to name a few. So\, what is real and what is pure marketing? \;\n \;\nCo me hear from someone who has been an Oregon pioneer in SD-WAN. John Spie gel from Columbia Sportswear will provide an overview of SD-WAN\, relate his first-hand experiences implementing this new technology\, the resul ts he has seen and how it has changed John’s approach to the ever-evolvi ng landscape of IT infrastructure (both good and bad). \;\n \;\n John Spiegel is the Sr Manager of Infrastructure at Columbia Sportswear Company. He is a leader with 20 years of experience in Information Techn ology and Networking. Forward-leading\, big thinker with a passion for t ransformative and cutting-edge technologies such as SD-WAN and Cloud. Be liever in the power of sharing and collaborating with other like-minded individuals to evolve the industry.

Our past practices and approaches are failing us and what had worked reliably during more stable times in the past is unfortunate ly proving inadequate for the dynamic present. This course introduces co ncepts which challenge the deeply rooted thinking patterns that have bee n ingrained by years of conventional thinking. \;\n \;\nTake a div e into complexity theory\, and the practical implications for operating in a world of inherent uncertainty. Learn about the Cynefin framework – and how to apply it in organisations\; how to make better decisions\, de pendent on the situation\; as well as a range of practical methods that you can apply directly in organisations. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n What it’s about: \;\n \;\nComplexity has become a buzzword for the world we work within - this course provides you with the foundational t ools to understand what it means to act and manage in complexity. \;\ n \;\nCynefin and Complexity Foundations forms the core component of Cognitive Edge's training offerings. It contributes the basic scaffolds and key components of your sense-making toolkit for working in complex e nvironments. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nWho it is for: \;\n \; \nThis course designed for people who work in constantly-evolving\, dyna mic situations\, dealing daily with uncertainty and risk\, and looking f or a enhanced compass for building organisations that are both resilient and innovative. Whether you work in an organisation navigating intracta ble problems\, or are a consultant looking to include complexity princip les into your practice - or if you are simply complexity-curious - this Foundations class is for you. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nWhat we wil l cover: \;\n \;\nThis has been designed as a 2-day session - a co mbination of deep immersion into the fundamentals of working in complexi ty\, and with the Cynefin framework. This will be substantiated by lots of hands-on methods-based activities\, and group-based discussions. \ ;\n \;\nThe session will begin with an introduction to complexity\, a nd the natural and human science that sit behind the naturalising tradit ion in sense-making. Discover and manage the evolutionary potential of t he present by increasing situational awareness of the types of systems t hat we sit within\, and how to modulate within complex systems. \;\n& #13\;\nThe Cynefin framework has subtleties and nuances which are not ea sily accessible to the casual reader. Building on the basics outlined in the Harvard Business Review article\, this 2-day session will help you dig deeper into the uses of the framework\, accompanied by facilitated w orkshop activities and tools. \;\n \;\nTo see a brochure for this course\, goto http://cognitive-edge.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Cynef inFoundations-brochure-2018-v2.pdf \;\n \;\n \;\nEarly Bird Rat es End Jan 27th \;\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/cynefin-complexit y-foundations-portland-oregon-tickets-40759305179?discount=PDX10-2018#ti ckets\n\nTags: Cynefin\, complexity\, leadership\, management\, innovati on\, systems thinking\, responsive\, Adaptive Action\, software\, techno logy\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250473064 URL:https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/cynefin-complexity-foundations-portla nd-oregon-tickets-40759305179?discount=PDX10-2018 SUMMARY:Cynefin & Complexity Foundations LOCATION:Hotel Rose: 50 SW Morrison St\, Portland Oregon 97204 USA SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180720T170740Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180725T193000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180725T173000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180720T170740Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180720T170740Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250474019 DESCRIPTION:July has a reputation for scorching hot temperatures - especi ally in the afternoons and early evenings.

If you work with teams and team succe ss\, this book may be an interesting addition to your library. \;\n&# 13\;\nLencioni tells the story of a troubled Silicon Valley firm and the new CEO faced with uniting and guiding a team of leaders with the aim o f making the company a success. Through this business fable\, Lencioni h ighlights the common dysfunctions that he claims can cripple any team: a bsence of trust\, fear of conflict\, lack of commitment\, avoidance of a ccountability\, and inattention to results. He offers ways to assess a t eam and provides actionable steps on how to overcome each of the 5 dysfu nctions. \;\n \;\nFood for thought: \;\n \;\n- This book tel ls the tale of a CEO refashioning the dynamic of an executive committee. Do fables apply to everyone? \;\n- Is Lencioni right? Does he name t he most important dysfunctions that challenge the teams you work with?&# 13\;\n- What can we learn from this representative tale about developmen t teams?
