Dr. Jim Hill, founder and CEO of Organizational Performance Systems (www.ops1.com) has extensive experience in applying cloud-based solutions to performance challenges in government, the military, several industries, and in healthcare.

Topics:

• Discuss industry-wide adoption of cloud technologies.

• Discuss ways to make the migration—which is inevitable—work for performance improvement experts inside and outside client organizations.


• Discuss using the cloud to accelerate transformation and change.
