Understanding the Profound Demographic Shifts Ahead

What counties, states, regions, countries and continents will flourish, and which will be challenged because of shifting demography?

As a forecasting tool, demographics are unparalleled for seeing what’s ahead in world culture, economics, politics, commerce and government.

During this insightful webcast, demographer Kenneth W. Gronbach will lead you into his fascinating world of counting people.

Kenneth will  explain to you why demographics precipitate economics, and not the other way around.

Ken’s demographic perspective is very macro, big picture and long term. His strategies are often integrated into strategic plans in diverse sectors because of their uncanny accuracy.

Demography is a science of simplicity and fascination. Join Ken for this exciting presentation and enjoy the ride.

In October 2016, a massive Denial of Service attack was launched against a US company that manages critical parts of the internet infrastructure.

This attack caused websites across large sections of the country to be inaccessible for a protracted period of time.

As the New York Times reported:

“. . . in a troubling development, the attack appears to have relied on hundreds of thousands of internet-connected devices like cameras, baby monitors and home routers that have been infected — without their owners’ knowledge — with software that allows hackers to command them to flood a target with overwhelming traffic.”

The Internet of Things is here!

And as the episode above illustrates, not having proper control over the security of these IT assets creates an entirely new set of vulnerabilities that must be understood and managed.

Anything less can subject a company to severe damage.

Pat Cicala will look at the impact that the proliferation of internet connected devices can have for the enterprise, and why a sound IT assets management program is essential to help reduce risk.

Presenter:  Pat Cicala (LinkedIn profile) Cicala & Associates, has 35+ years of experience in  IT management, asset management, procurement, contracts, and strategic technology workplace development. Previously Pat was the VP & Worldwide Practice Leader for Asset Management and Procurement at Gartner Group, Inc., & VP of Worldwide Asset Management and Enterprise Vendor Relations at Citibank/Citicorp.

• Why you need the competency to adapt and deal with constant change – organizational “change fitness”
• Why leadership behavior sets the context for organizational change
