OPERATIONS EWF Women Leaders in the Cloud Forum: Transformation Imperatives for Modernized Leadership with Mignona Cote, NetApp; Deborah Janeczek, Wells Fargo and Jyoti Wadhwa, NetApp The elasticity, scalability and repeatability of the cloud is increasingly seducing IT, engineering and security organizations to adopt XaaS models and skydive into the cloud. With the alluring appeal of increased agility, lower capex costs, faster release times, cloud migration roadmaps are no longer first mover adventures, but board-driven and federally regulated business imperatives across public and private sectors. Although this large scale migration of the cloud requires new technical skills, for example to implement microservice oriented architectures via DevSecOps and CI/CD pipelines. The most significant challenge of cloud adoption resides with the absence of a modernized leadership skill set. Join this proven panel of women leaders in the cloud to learn about the transformation imperatives needed to succeed as a leader in modernized environments. We will explore the importance of visioning, execution and building credibility through modernized leadership approaches of a growth mindset, humanizing agility and continuous learning. ENABLER OF CHANGE AND CHANGE AGILITY How to See Complex Change Through a Practical Lens with Heather Smith, Talent Elevated Change is everywhere and, in our world today, it seems to be swirling around us like a hurricane. As a wife, mother, friend, business owner, leader, and/or project leader, we are responsible for changing and improving things for the better, with measurable outcomes, and usually dozens of things at once. So, how do we do this without getting burned out or frazzled in the process? To stay calm in the chaos, we must take a step back and get clear on what is actually changing, why it matters, and who it will impact. If we can stay laser- focused on these elements, we can continue to break the change down into a step-by-step plan to implement the larger change. Those you are influencing need small steps towards big change; they, too, are in the hurricane and will champion things that they can see and comprehend clearly.
