Cold war secrec y created a need-to-know culture that impeded unofficial information sha ring. State’s diplomatic corps is selected for risk aversion and trained to obtain many clearances and authorizations before officially transmit ting information internally. \;\n \;\nThen the end of the Cold Wa r was followed by the East Africa embassy bombings and 9/11. The paradig m shifted. The lack of information sharing and collaboration meant that puzzle pieces remain scattered and threats were unidentified. In this sh ift\, the State Department’s office of eDiplomacy was born. \;\n 3\;\nCome find out how State Department has embraced lightweight social media tools behind the firewall to move from a need-to-know culture to n eed-to-share one. \;\n \;\nMeet Richard Boly\, Director of eDiplom acy\, US Department of State \;\nRichard Boly is a career U.S. diplom at and currently the Director of the Office of eDiplomacy\, an applied t echnology think tank for the United States Department of State.

New methods of managing acquiring\, nurturing and retaining talent will be essential for a competitive organization. In this half-day workshop\, a series of presenters will bring tools ever y HR leader should have in their toolkit and executive should hear. \ ;\n \;\nSession 1 (8:00 – 9:00 a.m.): \;\nFrom Start-Up to High-Gr owth: Shaping a Culture for Success \;\nThe shift from a start-up cu lture has caused many promising companies to stumble. EthicsPoint presi dent and CEO David Childers will present the step-by-step process his co mpany took to consciously reconstruct its corporate culture. This two-ye ar-long project has helped EthicsPoint exceed growth and revenue expecta tions and position itself for international expansion. \;\n \;\n Session 2 (9:00 – 10:00 a.m.) \;\nTurning the Job They Have Into the Job They Want \;\nFor many companies the downturn has stalled growth \, which in turn has left employees feeling “stuck” in their jobs. This dissatisfaction can be especially difficult in technology companies whe re employees are attracted to working fast paced growth and changing env ironments. Via Skype\, Dr. Jane Dutton from University of Michigan wil l share the Job Crafting Exercise\, a low cost\, powerful tool that the Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship has developed. \;\n& #13\;\nSession 3 (10:15 – 11:15 a.m.) \;\nPerformance Appraisals – Th e Next Act \;\nFew issues in management stir up more controversy than performance appraisal. \;\n \;\nThere are many reputable sources - researchers\, management commentators\, psychometricians - who have ex pressed doubts about the validity and reliability of the performance app raisal process. Some have even suggested that the process is so inherent ly flawed that it may be impossible to perfect it. At the other extreme \, there are many strong advocates of performance appraisal. Some view i t as potentially the most crucial aspect of organizational life (Lawrie\ , 1990). Dr. Steve Hunt will talk about how the performance management process is shifting from an administrative process used to justify pay d ecisions to a forward focused tool for enabling business execution. \;\n \;\nComplete workshop information can be found here: http:/ /www.techamerica.org/talentmanagementworkshop \;\n \;\nDetails: 3\;\nWhen: Thursday\, September 30\, 2010 \;\nTime: 7:30 – 11:30 a. m. \;\nWhere: Multnomah Athletic Club\, 1849 SW Salmon St.\, Portlan d\, Ore. \;\nCost: $195 TechAmerica Members\, $225 Nonmembers (Group rates available - email kari.naone@techamerica.org for details) \;\n \n\nTags: talent management\, professional development\, training\, huma n resources\, hr\, human resource\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org /events/1250459190 URL:http://www.techamerica.org/talentmanagementworkshop SUMMARY:TechAmerica Talent Management Workshop: Tools for the Twenty Firs t Century Workforce LOCATION:Multnomah Athletic Club (MAC): 1849 Sw Salmon St\, Portland OR 9 7205 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110927T224714Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111006T130000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111006T110000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110927T224714Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110927T224714Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250461394 DESCRIPTION:Cloud computing has become a big topic in the IT industry. Bo lstered by inexpensive\, available platforms\, tools and support\, more and more business are seeing the advantages and moving applications to & quot\;cloud” environments. As this transformation takes place\, how does it change the way QA / Testing professionals approach verifying and val idating that applications meet functional and non-functional requirement s? What should QA be looking for in terms of performance\, integration a nd security? What kinds and amount of testing will vendors be looking fo r before they accept an application into their environment? How much and what kind of testing will the hosting vendor perform before they allow an application to go "\;live”. \;\n \;\nIn this event a panel of experts from different companies focusing on cloud applications\, wil l provide their perspectives and discuss questions and views posed by th e attendees. This will be an interactive discussion – taking a deep dive into the topic and providing a forum for attendees and speakers to shar e insights and experiences.

Teams now are commonly project-based and geographically distribute d. How can we work effectively with team members in different physical l ocations? \;\n \;\nLearn from key open source leaders that with th e help of virtual teams produce some of the highest quality\, most widel y used software today. Come prepared to speak your mind\, share your exp erience\, listen and learn about working in a virtual team. If you are i nvolved anywhere in the software development lifecycle\, this event is f or you. \;\n \;\n \;\nWhat is an Unconference? \;\n \;\nA n Unconference is the inverse of a conference\, in that there’s no prede termined\, pre-set schedule\, agenda\, or speaker lineup. Utilizing the concept of OpenSpace\, this unconference is the coming together of parti cipants\, with no predetermined agenda or program\, to have an open disc ussion and share insight in a place where experts and beginners are equa l. You won't be lectured at\, rather you'll leave with a better understa nding of a topic and the satisfaction of being heard outside Q&\;A ti me. \;\n \;\nThe OpenSpace methodology is carefully designed to el icit maximum involvement and creativity in a constructive atmosphere. It is also highly flexible so that the content is entirely determined by y ou -- the participants. This is not to suggest that the conference will not have content or outcomes\, for there certainly will be both. Achieve ment in the meeting will be totally dependent upon individual and collec tive responsibility to make it happen. The content is what each person s hares\, and the outcome is what we will all create. The event will be in ventive\, creative\, productive and full of surprises. \;\n \;\nC apacity: 160 attendees \;\n \;\nAudience: From executives whom ar e concerned with productivity\, quality and cost management to product o wners\, analysts\, developers\, designers\, and testers all who are atte mpting to share a single thought and build upon it. \;\n \;\n \;\nTickets | Volunteer\n\nTags: sao\, qa forum\, software development\, developers\, mac\, unconference\, open space\, quality\n\nImported from : http://calagator.org/events/1250460987 URL:http://www.sao.org/events/event_details.asp?id=168923 SUMMARY:(Unconference) Evolving Virtual Teams LOCATION:Multnomah Athletic Club (MAC): 1849 Sw Salmon St\, Portland OR 9 7205 US SEQUENCE:6 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120201T202357Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120222T093000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120222T073000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120201T202357Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120201T202357Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250461918 DESCRIPTION:About the Program: \;\nLast fall Moody’s lowered its econo mic outlook for 2012 citing political wrangling over the U.S. debt ceili ng and debt crisis in Europe.
