I&TLC 2021

8th Annual Information & Technology Leadership Conference

This year's conference is just over the horizon...

The conference aims to advance leadership on campus by bringing together professionals to learn, listen, and collaborate on leadership topics impacting UW–Madison and the higher education community. Join us on November 30, 2021 for our eighth iteration of the Information & Technology Leadership Conference. This year’s theme:

Lead with bold IDEAs

Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access(ibility)

 

Information & technology professionals are leaders and collaborators. When leading in times of disruption, at the forefront or behind the scenes, in person or virtually, or somewhere in between, we all have the opportunity to drive change. Guiding change toward greater inclusion, diversity, equity, and ​​access(ibility) has the potential to improve the lives of our teams, the people we serve, and the broader community.

Wherever you are on your leadership journey, join your colleagues from across UW-Madison to learn, share, and develop bold IDEAs at this year’s Information & Technology Leadership Conference.

Prepare

When we anticipate change, we prepare to respond to new demands, expectations, and roles. This work may come in the form of intentional recruitment, retention, and workforce development strategies; building a talent pipeline; or using data to forecast changes that will impact the group or organization.

Learn how you to prepare yourself, your team, or your organization to respond to change.

Adapt

When change comes, we adapt. We learn to accept–and even appreciate!–failure, develop better strategies to support our teams, leverage partnerships and resources, and cultivate resilience.

Learn how to adapt in times of crisis, failure, transition, or overwhelming success.

Communicate

During periods of change, decisions we make about communication can significantly influence attitudes and outcomes within our teams and larger communities. We communicate intentionally and unintentionally through the avenues of engagement and forms of communication we employ.

Learn how to communicate before, during, or after transformation.

Execute

Change necessitates action. Regardless of how we have prepared, adapted, or communicated, we must move forward. Execution encompasses how we support our teams, delegate tasks, and document the process for decision-making, implementation, and iteration.

Learn how to execute a project or idea.
