Reality!


Reality Distortion Field!

The Evolution of Computing!

Everything is Connected!

22 devices will be connected to the Internet in the average U.S. home by 2020!

Wearable devices will replace devices we once had to remember to carry!

Everyday products will become increasingly aware, intelligent and autonomous!

The Internet of Things will add an estimated $1.9 trillion to the economy within the next 6 years!

The weather doesnt follow straight lines;!neither do business, economy, or technological innovation.!

Gadgets vs. Tools!

Change is Inevitable!Resistance is Futile!

If your workforce can do their jobs from anywhere, how much office space do you really need?!

If everything can be done online and in the Cloud, do you really need a phone system? Do you need to own a single server? A PC?!

Are we capable of creating a real connection to another human being if we only connect through voice, video and data streams?!

Risk and Exposure!

The Internet of Hackable Things!

Anything connected to the Internet can be hacked: your computer, your phone, your router, your game system and your.refrigerator?!

Opens a Pandoras Box of security and privacy risks that cannot be ignored. Christopher Fabre, CEO, Axway (software services company)!

Compliance Nightmares!

Brand Destruction!

Is Google Making Us Stupid?!

Nicholas Carr, Is Google Making Us Stupid? 2008, Atlantic Monthly !

Impact to You?!

What Will Be Expected From You?!

As costs decrease, vulnerability increases!

Ability to compete will be determined by technology and the speed of communication!

Expectations will change!

Responsiveness!

Access to information and intelligence!

Types of services provided!

Policies and Procedures Must Catch Up!

Business, policy, and technical challenges must be tackled before systems are widely embraced!

Scenario: An hourly employee responds to an email over the weekend. Does that qualify for overtime?!

Scenario: An employee posts a photo of a document; it contains the name and address of one of your clients. How do you respond?!

Obligatory Disclaimer!This Does Not Constitute Legal Advice!

Important Considerations!

Do you have a Social Media Policy? Have your employees been trained and signed off on it?!

Do you have an Acceptable Use Policy?!

Are the boundaries between personal and corporate data clearly defined? !

Do you have Cyber Insurance? !

Are you impacted by regulatory compliance issues? !

Low Hanging Fruit!

Take advantage of cloud technologies where appropriate and cost-effective!

Encourage the mobile generation to be mobile!

Embrace generational differences!

Is Google Making Us Stupid?!

2009, VTTI!distraction.gov!

5 seconds is the average length of time your eyes are off the road while texting. When traveling at 55mph thats enough time to cover the length of a football field, but

blindfolded.!

NOPUS!distraction.gov!

At any given daylight moment across America, approximately 660,000 drivers are using cell phones or manipulating electronic devices while driving, a number that has held

steady since 2010.!

But I can multitask!!

Daniel Goleman!

The Great Myth of Multitasking!!

When people say theyre multitasking, what they are really doing is something called continuous partial attention, where the brain switches back

and forth quickly between tasks.!

Matt Richtel, New York Times"Growing Up Digital, Wired for Distraction!

Students have always faced distractions and time-wasters. But computers and cellphones, and the constant stream of stimuli they offer, pose a profound new challenge to focusing

and learning.!

What if I told you that some of your employees were doing something on the job

that might decrease productivity?!

Hint: Its not this, !although the distractions created by smoking

pot do lower our I.Q. by 5%!

The distractions created by attempting to multitask lower our I.Q. by 10% !

and make us 40% slower.!

What if I told you that all of your employees are doing something worse, and so are you?!

Mindfulness!

Leadership!

Respect!

Focus!
