GIA 2015 Conference blogger Lara Davis shares her notes from Tuesday at the Los Angeles Conference:
The latest post from Barry Hessenius covers his notes from the second day of the Los Angeles Conference.
- Have an articulated game plan, informed by the organization’s overall vision strategy

- Put audiences first and be prepared for constant change.

But as the generational shifts become more urgent, so too is the necessity of overcoming reticence and fears to understand the basics of IT and appreciate the rapidity of change as a constant.
