Adjusting Technology Management
to Cope with Change and Crisis
A Business Forum Panel
Luncheon
Wednesday June 19th,
2002
The Four Seasons
Hotel from 11:45am to 1:30pm
The Business Forum
is
going to organize a Panel Debate Luncheon in Seattle, Washington (similar to those
pictured here from past events) to allow decision
makers (Vice President, Director, Officer level in Information Technology, HR,
Finance, Security and Operations) in larger firms and
organizations to pose questions to a panel of experts and to be able to join in an open
debate to consider how management's goals, needs, obligations and tasks have changed from
just a year
ago. The Stock Market collapse this year, a shrinking Global
Economy, the Recession accompanied by actual deflation in the American
Economy not seen in twenty years, and now
terrorist attacks on the home soil of America have changed everything from
just 12 months ago and management is undeniably faced with new demands.
Technology fueled the growth of
the American and Global Economy and changed the way we manage from what we
faced twenty years ago, and only by reevaluating how to use and apply
technology can we be sure of growing out of the present situation fast enough
to put the overall global economy back on track.
The Concept
we have accepted is that the needs of management have changed from what
they have been for more than two decades, due to the downturn of the Stock Market,
changes in employment procedures, the impact of deflation, the War on Terrorism and the Recession.
When the pundits stated that 9/11 changed everything, they were probably more
right than even they realized at the time they said it, although we were
already six months into the development of the present recession when it
happened. Managing
an organization during a crisis obviously needs different answers to managing an
organization in a growth economy, which is what we have all enjoyed for the
last twenty years; in fact many of our younger managers have never experienced that which
they now find themselves embroiled in on a day-to-day basis. Therefore, we believe,
and our members are continuously informing us, that most senior decision makers would welcome the chance to take part in such a
debate about technology, new methods and reevaluation of business processes at this time.
Expert Panel Participants:
We shall assemble a panel of experts to answer the questions of our members
and guests on how technology can be used to increase the
effectiveness and efficiency of:
Disaster Management & Business Continuity - Employee
Communication Programs - Crisis Management - Staff Training Programs - Technology Implementation - Security Management (personal, electronic and facilities)
As
our guest you will
of course, attend “at no cost and with no
obligation whatsoever placed upon you for attending”.
We will also provide each guest with a
five star, three course luncheon.
Most business
advances and opportunities begin with a relationship. We believe that this event
will benefit everyone involved, by bringing together experts and
senior decision makers, which of course we have been doing for twenty years for
some of the most respected organizations in the world, from the Business
Council of the United Nations to Microsoft, from NASA to IBM, Northrop Grumman
to the California Office of Strategic Technology, etc. etc.
