Synopsis:

“Digital Disruption- Part II, Your Career Curriculum”

Welcome to Part II of the Breakfast Clubs focus on “Digital Disruption”. In Part II, our Speaker George Pace will take us on a journey that will help answer the question
What can I do to “Keep Pace” with Digital Disruption so that my skill sets remain current?
The presentation which is entitled “Your Career Curriculum” will guide participants thru the following:

• Examine various Digital Technologies by identifying the disruption they are causing – and the opportunities they are creating
• Reviewing root causes as to why it’s hard to stay current
• Introduce the concept of a “Career Horizon” and why it’s critical to evolving your career
• Developing your own “Career Curriculum” – and identifying the Core and Elective Classes specific to you
• Techniques and technologies you can leverage to begin implementing that curriculum
