Shaping Adaptable Organizations · Sam Rad (Samantha Radocchia) Keynote Address · Ivanti 2024

Sam Rad (Samantha Radocchia), delivers the opening keynote address at the 2024 ‪@Ivanti‬ Solutions Summit at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Grapevine, TX to discuss the transformative impacts of technologies on the workforce in the Age of Acceleration.

The discussion explores the role of Article Intelligence, Quantum Computing, Applied Cryptography, VR/AR/Embedded Technology, and Hardware Provisioning -- and how the lines between physical and virtual realities are being blurred.

The speech explores the evolution of IT and Security organizations in the Age of Acceleration.

Sam provides an overview of all things Future of [Secure] Work, focusing on the key trends across: People, Place, Provisioning and most importantly - Purpose

To summarize Sam Rad's remarks:

👥 People: From "job roles" to "flexible functions" - the "who" is changing, whether that be the rise of the creative generalist, new skills, or autonomous colleagues.

🗺️ Place: From "9-5" to "offsite on 9/5" - the "where" and the "when" is now global, autonomous, on multiple timelines

💻 Provisioning: From "tools" to "embodied technologies" - the "what" of hardware and software provisioning moves in or on the body. We aren't just talking about securing laptops and cell phones, but a new era of tools and technologies

✨ Purpose: From "tasks and transactions" to "passion and purpose" - the "why" we do what we do, in work and in life. The future of humanity is creative, collaborative and connected.

As we move through this age of acceleration, our human-centric skills of critical thinking and creativity will unlock our north star guidance systems of discernment.

Ultimately, as our tools and technologies get closer to our bodies and minds, I am clear on one overarching message:

🔒 Cybersecurity is the most important role of the future (and present).

The talk closes with the most important points — how to integrate all of these radical and accelerating changes.

We are living in a particularly HUMAN moment.

And as an anthropologist, futurist, and student of humanity, I am thrilled to share insights on the "human power skills" to thrive in times of radical change.

Adaptability, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Quantum Decision Making, Unlearning, and above all, Ethical Problem Solving.
