Select either “In-Person” or “Virtual via Zoom.” \nOn the evening of Feb 7\, we’ll send a reminder email (w/ Zoom link) to all registered. \n*************** \nFrom our TIGER Talk presenter\, Brad Griffith of Buckeye Innovation: \n“Our customers\, employees\, and shareholders are humans\, contrary to how we sometimes treat them! \nRather than treating them impersonally\, like users\, resources\, or even robots\, we have an opportunity to recognize their humanity and address their innate need for security. The Consumer Technology Association set a theme for the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that encouraged exhibitors\, presenters\, and attendees to meet that human need for security. \nPlease join me to learn the consumer technologies that will disrupt all of our industries over the next decade and how we can apply technology creatively to improve equity\, access\, and belonging for all. From the Metaverse and blockchain to smart devices of every sort\, I’ve seen some serious disruptive technology. \nCES 2023 saw a big resurgence in exhibitors and attendees\, marking a significant recovery from 2022. I attended virtually again this year with more comprehensive remote access to sessions than in any previous year. I will share highlights and lessons from the best keynotes and panel discussions as well as will review the practicality of several intriguing gadgets. \nMy favorite author\, Clayton Christensen\, said it well when he said\, “You may hate gravity\, but gravity doesn’t care.” Much like COVID variants\, technology keeps changing. It’s a force we all deal with\, and it’s important that we learn to predict some of the changes\, prepare for what we can\, and then expect the unexpected. \nJoin me 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. \nFor the past 15 years\, I have loved attending the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 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. Traditionally the largest technology trade show in the world\, this year’s third digital CES conference and trade show were different but still captivating. Next year I hope to return in person. \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.“ \n*************** \nBrad Griffith is a lifelong entrepreneur.

Make new friends! \n*************** \nOur TIGER Talk speaker Jon Iveson offers the following description: \nWikipedia states that “an entrepreneur is an individual who creates and/or invests in one or more businesses\, bearing most of the risks and enjoying most of the rewards. The process of setting up a business is known as entrepreneurship.” \nJim Collins\, author of the influential books Good to Great & Built to Last\, defines leadership as “the art of getting people to want to do what must be done.” As such\, “the number one responsibility of a leader – is to catalyze a clear and shared vision for the company and to secure commitment to and vigorous pursuit of that vision.” \nBased on my learnings as the Founding Director of the Ohio State Fisher College Center for Entrepreneurship and my subsequent 18 years coaching small and mid-size growth companies\, it appears that entrepreneurial leadership seems to emerge in enterprises when the founding entrepreneur shifts from the ”leader with many helpers” mindset to the chief executive mindset where he/she must build an “A” player leadership team capable of driving the strategic execution that will move the company to being a substantial commercial and societal impact. \nWe will discuss the 6 Power Habits that must be mastered to lead an enterprise on a sustainable successful journey. \n*************** \nJon Iveson is a Strategic Execution Coach with Assured Strategy. \nJon has been coaching entrepreneurs\, executives\, and leadership teams to deliver superior results and have distinctive impact for over 18 years. Prior to that\, Jon coached leaders\, managers\, and aspiring entrepreneurs as the Founding Director of the Fisher College of Business Center for Entrepreneurship. He has many client case studies and testimonials from those 18 years that prove his profound value to clients in driving strategy\, alignment\, execution\, and accountability. \nJon has worked with clients in a variety of industries. His progressive degrees in engineering and management systems from Clarkson University and education at The Ohio State University provides him with a unique understanding and influence regarding the psychology of team dynamics\, team learning\, team alignment\, team accountability\, team productivity\, and team growth. \nDuring his long career as a coach\, Jon has helped client companies in fabrication\, manufacturing\, landscaping\, aviation\, healthcare\, education\, entertainment\, software\, banking\, housing\, marketing\, HVAC\, electrical\, lighting\, language translation\, financial services\, contact center\, IT services\, and the print services industries. His long-term purpose in life is to activate leadership passions\, styles\, and skills to do great things. \nJon has been certified in coaching through Franklin Covey\, Scaling Up (previously known as Gazelles)\, Value Builder\, Gravitas Impact\, and Metronome United (i.e. 3HAG and Metronomics). \nJon’s specialties include: \n\nLeadership and Management Team Alignment\, Health\, Accountability\, and Performance\nHealthy Constructive Conflict Facilitation\nStrategic Thinking\nExecution Excellence\nLeadership Development\, Growth\, and Resilience\nStrategic Execution\nAdvance Insights Assessment Expertise and Coaching\nExecutive Coaching\nPublic Speaking\nWorkshop Facilitation\nPeer Group Coaching and Facilitation\n\nAs a spiritually inspired father\, Jon is very engaged with his 17-year-old daughter and her activities.

All this is done with data centers and is being done in New Albany and across Central Ohio. \nThe Columbus region was selected seven years ago by AWS to be the site for their third U.S. data center region\, and the first one to be located in the Midwest. The presence of data centers in Central Ohio has helped pave the way for the many other high-tech facilities and jobs that are now coming to the area. \nOur AWS presenters\, Rocale Timmons and Nick Lee-Romagnolo\, will be sharing insights on AWS’s local and regional impact in Ohio and the way AWS thinks about workforce development in its infrastructure regions .

Enjoy lunch. Mingle. Make new friends. \nIs your favorite flavor of Agile work methodology resulting in process over people?\nIs your contribution mired in man hours that inevitably turn into mythical man months?\nAre human efforts in heroic zeros and ones measured in seemingly pointless (story) points instead of customer\, business\, and employee value (ROI)? \nWhat began as a technology revolution has devolved into frameworks and processes that focus solely on mindless over mindful measuring\, tracking\, and projecting. 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.
