And while many organizations find initial success that generates interest and demand for scaling agile and digital transformations\, even more common is the ultimate disappointment in not achieving the desired outcomes promised by even the most well-intentioned technologists. \nPlease join Jariatu Mansaray and Charlotte Chang for this TIGER Talk and you’ll learn that all is NOT lost. \nIf we just look to our past we find evidence of achieving the outcomes we hope to see in our futures\, both for organizations and as individuals. In today’s business landscape modern work is often misunderstood\, applying archaic approaches and mandating standards based on a world that no longer exists. To effectively navigate where it’s going\, being ready requires the often undervalued human skills of observation\, adaptation\, and evolution. \n*************** \nJariatu Mansaray is a people-focused product coach at Industrial Logic with a passion for empowering teams and driving results.

It’s fun to watch your business thrive\, but what about your company’s infrastructure? \nHave you ever thought: “Hey\, we’re growing! We’ll focus on that boring operational stuff later.”? It can be put off for only so long before you’re forced to face it. And\, it usually happens in the form of an expensive\, disruptive “OH\, NO!” moment. \nThat moment could be:\n• Needing to scale up to deliver on a new contract\n• Needing money to expand or even just to make payroll\n• Your best employees start jumping ship\n• Being sued by a former employee or a customer\n• Getting a letter from a government agency\, etc. \nIt doesn’t have to be bad news\, but it usually is unexpected. \nIn this TIGER Talk\, Diana Dibble and Molly Gimmel will make the often-tedious topic of business operations accessible and fun.

Eat. Mingle. Make new friends. \nThree recent decisions by Google are disrupting organizations and creating an urgent need for action. \nFirst\, Google is deleting all Google Analytics data pre-2023\, meaning we all lose access to historical web site data starting July of 2024. This also means that any organization with a data retention policy will be out of compliance as of July 2024. \nSecond\, online advertisers will lose the ability to retarget ads using third-party cookies in 2024 as Google Chrome begins blocking cookies. This means ad performance will likely suffer dramatically in 2024. \nThird\, Google remains in conflict with CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) over HIPAA guidelines. According to a recent study\, 99% of hospital websites are out of compliance with HIPAA. If you work in healthcare\, your legal liability for HIPAA violations is measured in millions of dollars. \nOur expert presenter\, Bill Balderaz\, will explain all of these Google actions in simple\, easy-to-understand terms and offer solutions to protect your organization and give you a foundation for sustainable success. \n*************** \nBill Balderaz is the President and Founder of Inc. 5000 company Futurety\, a data analytics and marketing consulting firm. \nFuturety specializes in serving regulated industries\, including healthcare\, pharma\, finance\, government and medical devices. \nBill has spoken at more than 150 conferences from New York to California on topics including public relations\, sales\, innovation\, marketing\, healthcare\, search engine optimization\, data mining\, social media\, and more.

Eat. Mingle. Make new friends. \nPersonal statement from our presenter\, Brad Griffith:\n2024 is my first year back at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in person after the pandemic\, and I anticipate big crowds. Attendance and company participation are expected to return to “normal” with over 2.4 Million square feet of exhibit space and likely 250\,000 attendees converging on Las Vegas during January 2024. \nTechnology is inescapable\, for better or for worse. The Consumer Technology Association set a theme for CES 2024 of “ALL ON” to emphasize that technology is everywhere all the time. They encourage exhibitors\, presenters\, and attendees to define what it means to be “All Together. All in. ALL ON.” \nJoin me for my recap and analysis to hear about what industry titans and startup entrepreneurs know to be the trends and strategies that will shape our future work and personal lives. Learn what consumer technology will try to distract you and disrupt all of our industries over the next decade. Let’s discuss how we can apply technology creatively to improve focus and quality of life. From generative AI and robotics to mindfulness and quantified self\, I’m sure to see some seriously disruptive technology. \nI feel it’s our job as a business community to get intentional about our technology usage. Do we let it consume our lives\, or do we use it to enrich our lives through better focus on what really matters to us. I intend to gather the best and worst of modern consumer technology at this year’s show for us to discuss on February 9. \nFor the past nearly 20 years\, I have loved attending the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas because it’s my opportunity to absorb trajectory-altering lessons and insights from industry experts and thought leaders. These insights have changed the way I approach business strategy and have enhanced many aspects of the way I live my life. This is the largest technology trade show in the world. It’s a sight to behold for tech enthusiasts and early adopters! \nIf you are a strategic thinker leading a team into a potentially volatile future\, this talk is a must! I promise to share quotes\, trends\, and transformational lessons that will help prepare you for the next evolutionary and revolutionary changes in your company. \nTo be present in an “ALL ON” world\, you won’t want to miss what I will be sharing with you. \n*************** \nBrad Griffith is a champion for equitable access to the best technology and design for growing businesses and organizations. He grew up working for his dad’s veterinary hospital\, learning the joys and challenges of business growth. He believes in the power of entrepreneurship and innovation to drive meaningful change in our community\, though unfortunately\, not all people in the workforce or all growing organizations have the same opportunities to leverage technology to their advantage. Brad is on a mission to change that with equitable access for all. \nBrad is President of Buckeye Innovation\, the web engineering and design team he started in 2009 to amplify the impact of innovative businesses and organizations. His fully-remote in-house team of 18 employees includes designers and developers who love building and supporting websites\, web applications\, and mobile applications.

He earned his Masters in Business Administration after completing his Bachelor’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering with honors\, both at The Ohio State University. He lives in New Albany with his wife and two young daughters where he is an active Girl Scouts “Troop Cookie Dad” in addition to other community volunteer roles. \nBrad was selected in 2020 to the inaugural class of the Columbus CEO Future 50 and was also a finalist for the 2019 and 2023 Small Business Leader Awards from the Columbus Chamber of Commerce.

Eat. Mingle. Make new friends. \nNeil Drobny\, PhD\, will discuss a new sustainability initiative that he introduced at Western Michigan University — the Bronco Challenge for Sustainable Impact. Students work in teams of their own choosing on a year-long project that they design. \nKey features of the program\, striking a high note of innovation: \n\nProjects must target a problem or issue embedded in the UN Sustainable Development Goals.\nTeams must be interdisciplinary.\nStudents work for money\, not grades (1st place team gets $10\,000)\nPrizes are funded by corporate sponsors.\n\nWith the Challenge now about to wrap up its 2nd year\, Neil will discuss why students commit to participating in the Challenge (besides the money) and why corporate sponsors are willing to commit scarce philanthropic dollars tp it. He will also highlight the international recognition that the Challenge has brought to Western.

Advisors suggested he study computers and space technology. He did not take that advice and majored in Environmental Engineering. \nNeil’s first job was at a US Navy laboratory that provided logistic support for Operation Deep Freeze. Neil’s work involved environmental research pertinent to operating in the Antarctic. On one trip to the Antarctic\, Neil walked around the world at the geographic South Pole on a warm summer day in January (minus 40 degrees F). \nDuring Neil’s accomplished career\, he spent considerable time at Battelle\, ERM (Environmental Resource Management)\, and The Ohio State University. While at Ohio State for 16 years\, he developed and taught courses in sustainable business practices in the Fisher College of Business\, and played a key role in development of a university-wide major in Sustainability. \nIn 2020\, Neil and his wife Betty moved to Kalamazoo\, Michigan where they live on a lake. \nNeil earned his Bachelors and Masters Degrees at Dartmouth College and his PhD at Ohio State. \n*************** \nLike all TIGER Events\, this one is FREE. \nTimeline: \n11:30 am – Lunch / Socializing \n11:50 am – Introduce yourself to our crowd (your “15 Seconds of Fame”) \n12:05 pm – Hand-off to our speaker\, Neil Drobny \n1:00 pm – Wrap / More Socializing \n[expire-content date=”2024-03-22 1:00pm” message=”This event has passed so registration is closed.”]\n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Company*Consent to Use My Image & Voice*By registering for & participating in this event\, I am consenting to the recording of my image and/or voice.
