ISACA event helps tech professionals navigate
digital transformation, culture
Writer and podcast host Ryan Hogarth will set the pace in an
opening keynote “We Are Not Robots” at ISACA’s 2017 Africa Computer
Audit, Control and Security (CACS) Conference, to be held 11-12
September 2017, in Accra, Ghana.
Hogarth, author of “How to Win Influence and Friend People,”
will cull from his work in digital and business transformation, and
change and customer relationship management, to make a case for
increased attention to human and team behaviors for business
success.
“In addition to bringing research data and examples from
organizations around the world, I look forward to engaging the
ISACA audience--professionals across a spectrum of
business-critical IT roles--and enriching their understanding about
themselves; the people and behaviors they encounter every day; and
the team and organizational dynamics that can accelerate, or
stymie, growth and success,” Hogarth said. “There will be myths
debunked, mindsets hopefully expanded, education--and perhaps a
little entertainment on the side.”
Events at 2017 Africa CACS will wrap up with realistic,
optimistic and localized views of how IT professionals on the
African continent can improve personal performance, career
progression and employee/team motivation in the face of challenging
economic times, in remarks on “Forging Ahead in a Tough Economic
Environment” from author and organizational behavior expert Siphiwe
Moyo.
“For IT professionals in intense day-to-day roles, and in
organizations buffeted by challenges in some market sectors and
industries in African economies, there is a need and opportunity to
consider the current, larger economic and strategic landscape as
well as personal and professional development challenges, and
opportunities, they may encounter. I plan to provide insights, and
more important, positive inspiration for attendees to carry forth,”
said Moyo, CEO of Paradigm People Solutions and an adjunct faculty
member at Gordon Institute of Business Science and Wits Business
School, all in the Johannesburg, South Africa, area.
