The
presentation will discuss what culture is and how it impacts
work in the organization. The discussion will focus on types
of cultures that exist in companies and the differences of the
cultures in IT with those within the business. Only 40% of companies
have IT organizations with similar cultures as the businesses
that they support. Ms. Pittenger will discuss proven methods
to change and assimilate culture and best practices used by
best-in-class companies. She will share insights on how to manage
the change process. She will focus on the role of leadership
in culture change and how to support your culture change process
with HR applications such as performance management, reward
and recognition, and competencies. The presentation will also
focus on the concept of the employee life cycle and how managers
should source their workers.
Time
permitting; Ms. Pittenger will also address the related topic
of "The Role of the IT Professional in the New Millennium."
