INNOVATION @ GOOGLE
Scott Thomson, Customer Solutions & Innovation, APAC, Google
Disruption is inevitable, and it’s happening faster than it used to. Companies need to prepare for the future now. Innovation and ideas are required to drive AUNZ forward and to do that we need to embrace a new way of working. I will discuss 10x ideas and the culture at the heart of how Google innovates from measuring everything with smart use of data to becoming a growth-based and data-driven enterprise, from breaking down silos, to bringing people together and accelerating sharing & collaboration

WHAT MAKES AN INTELLIGENT COMMUNITY?
Marianne Archibald, Director, CityWorks
In this fast changing world the term 'smart city' is often used to describe how communities are responding to increasingly available digital technology. Whanganui went beyond the smart city approach and examined how to create an intelligent community.
Using the global benchmarking offered by the Intelligent Community Forum, Whanganui has been included in the Smart21 intelligent communities for the past five years and was included in the Top 7 in 2016.
Marianne talks about the difference between smart and intelligent and why it matters for your community.

LINKED DATA PRESENTATION
Adrienne Bonnington, Senior Environmental Information Analyst, Horizons Regional Council
Linked data is an approach for integrating and interlinking data and information resources with minimal impact on organisations. Over the last year, ALGIM’s Linked Data Working Group has been developing a toolkit based on standards and best practice for implementing this linked data approach.
This presentation describes the progress of the toolkit and the national and international collaboration efforts to enable agencies to open and link ‘never connected before’ information in an innovative way.
YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE TO KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING- A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO AGILE
Linda Lindeman, Business Solutions Team Leader, Palmerston North City Council
Paul Phillips, Manage Engine.
You probably recognise the scenario: Delivery of solutions is sluggish (on a good day), the team is swamped with urgent requests, requirements take a-a-ages to complete, only to be out of date – and everyone is asking" why are we doing this and why did no-one tell us it was coming?
Our story is no different, and our continued journey to become leaner, meaner and more agile has not been easy.
In this session we will explore some of the common problems, mistakes and challenges that our team has dealt with.
Come along as we introduce you to some of the practical tools and attitudes that are supporting our team delivery.
