The theme for ELC 2017 is Mission Possible. There are three tracks revolving around that theme:
- Mission Transformation: Increasing levels of experimentation and a growing recognition that the pace of change has surged, is pushing government and industry into creating faster, more innovative solutions. Normalizing new ideas and overcoming the habits and cultures built over time, is transforming government. ELC’s Transformation Track seeks to attack long standing questions in a new way. Rather than simply focusing on how technology on how technology and a full embrace of the digital economy could enable remarkable change and progress, we want to look at what’s been overlooked or under addressed. We want to explore the interdependencies across functions and organizations that hold the key to progress.
- Mission Engagement: How do we engage a broad set of constituencies in the process of transformation to deliver better outcomes and leverage new tools, technologies and approaches? More than ever, doing things the way we’ve always done them is a recipe for disappointment. We must think fundamentally different about how we design and deliver to the American people. There are practices in government and industry where innovative new ways of delivering to customers is happening today and from which we can learn a great deal. We should celebrate and share these successes, and build upon them.
- Mission Protection: As we transform, we also need to be vigilant in protecting the systems and infrastructure that are critical to our nation. Technological innovations provide many benefits but we also need to balance privacy constraints, the need for risk management and resiliency with fiscal realities. With a constant stream of cyber-attacks from OPM to Equifax, we are left to wonder – what are we missing and when will this end? Join us as we delve into the latest cybersecurity topics like Next Generation Security Operations, Continuous Diagnostics Mitigation (CDM), and Voting System Security with an eye toward addressing the crisis of our generation.
This year’s ELC will utilize multiple track formats for you to learn and contribute in the way that suits you best. You decide the time, the format, the issues and the track that fits your need and offers the greatest ROI on your time and investment. The three formats for the conference will include:
- A traditional panel structure to hear from leading industry and government officials and also have the opportunity to brainstorm and work with them
- Hear from recognized thought leaders in a meaningful “Ted Talk” style environment called ELC Talks
- Solve real life issues in the popular Innovation Zone, an interactive, hands on space spearheaded by the ACT-IAC Institute for Innovation
This year, following the conference, the outputs will be summarized and presented to government agencies for implementation, including the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

Mission Transformation Track Sessions
Innovation. Transformation. Reform. The words have been with us for over two decades. And some progress has been made. But let’s face it. There’s still a lot of work to be done. Despite increasing experimentation, and the acceleration of technology and change—the federal government is at risk of growing further behind, faster, than ever before. The challenge before us is to normalize new, innovative and practical ideas and overcome entrenched cultures and arcane practices to build a government of the future.
This year, ELC’s ‘Mission Transformation’ Track will look at long standing questions in new ways. Rather than focusing on how technology and the implementation of the digital economy could facilitate change and progress, we’ll investigate the overlooked, the under addressed and the roadblocks to transformation. Together we’ll explore the interdependent functions and organizations that hold the keys to progress. By removing the roadblocks, we pave the way for government Innovation, Transformation and Reform and help make this Mission Possible.
Our collective goal is to present OMB with a sample roadmap that can and will drive change. We’ll connect the dots, identify the inhibitors and find, “Transformation: The Missing Links.”
Part I: ELC Talks
Talk: How Does One Drive Change in a Change and Risk Resistant Culture? Thad Allen Did it. He’ll Tell Us How.
Moderator: Adm. Thad Allen, Senior Executive Advisor, Booz Allen Hamilton
Talk: Technology is the key to transformation. But How Should We Think About The Where, How and When?
Speaker: Charles Worthington, CTO, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
Talk: Transformation Just Happen. It Requires Thought, Discipline, and Planning. In Other Words, It Requires a Playbook.
Speaker: Todd Hager, Vice President at Macro Solutions
How is IRS Looking to Lead the Way in Transformation and Innovation?
Speaker: Harrison Smith, Deputy Chief Procurement Officer, Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
We have invited 4 subject matter experts to share in brief “Ted-style Talks” not only their perspectives on the missing links, but also their, hopefully provocative ideas on how we can shift the paradigm. From human capital to acquisition, and from the keys to successful transformation to what's actually working in some agencies, this year’s Ted-style Talks will set the stage.
Part II: The Panel: What’s Working; What’s Not. And What’s Missing
Moderated by Journalist Chris Dorobek, the Transformation Panel will put ideas into motion. Tapping the expertise of a diverse set of panelists and the audience, and building on the themes of the earlier Ted Talks, we will ask the tough questions about the barriers—cultural, demographic, presumptive, and more. What inhibits real transformation and what steps can we take to encourage innovation?
Moderator: Chris Dorobek, The Dorobek Insider
Panelists:
Lauren Schmidt, Defense Innovation Unit, Experimental (DIUx) \
John Fitzgerald, Senior Vice President, E3 Federal Solutions, LLC
Dave McClure, Senior Advisor / Federal CIOs at Accenture Federal Services
Gary Washington, Chief Information Officer, U.S. Department of Agriculture
Part III: The Innovation Zone: Building a Roadmap
The ideas and inputs developed in Parts I and II will come together in the Innovation Zone. We’ll take a real life transformation challenge and, led by skilled facilitators, develop a roadmap to success. The resulting roadmap will serve as a template for OMB progress as OMB implements many of the core proposals evolving from the 1722 Directive.
ELC 2017 Mission: Protection - As we transform, we also need to be vigilant in protecting the systems and infrastructure that are critical to our nation. Technological innovations provide many benefits but we also need to balance privacy constraints, the need for risk management and resiliency with fiscal realities.
With a constant stream of cyber-attacks from OPM to Equifax, we are left to wonder – what are we missing and when will this end? Join us as we delve into the latest cybersecurity topics like Next Generation Security Operations, Continuous Diagnostics Mitigation (CDM), and Voting System Security with an eye toward addressing the crisis of our generation.
Attendees will explore best practices and the latest approaches to safeguarding and protecting everything from healthcare records to federal agency assets.

Key Questions to Be Answered:
1. What are the capabilities in Phase 3 that are most important to you?
2. What are your barriers to implementation?
3. Overall with CDM, what help do you need from industry that you aren't currently getting?
Who Should Attend: CIOs, CISOs, Network Engineers and Architects, SOC operators, Agency CDM Leads
Mission Engagement Track Sessions
How do we engage a broad set of constituencies (including government workers and citizens) in the process of transformation to deliver better outcomes and leverage new tools, technologies and approaches? Just as innovators like Uber and AirBnB have upended entire industries, assume government will share in this disruption. These companies have figured out how to build around the needs of the customer and to constantly evolve to those needs.
More than ever, doing things the way we’ve always done them is a recipe for continued disappointment and disillusionment. We must think fundamentally differently about how we design and deliver to the American people. There are practices in government and industry where innovative new ways of delivering to customers is happening today and from which we can learn a great deal.. We should celebrate and share these successes, and build upon them.
Today, we will learn about customer engagement and human-centered design, and hear great stories about where these approaches are transforming government.
Session 1. Engagement Innovation Zone Workshop
Workshop Title: Designing Together - an introduction to customer journey mapping
Objective: Introduce attendees to the concept of customer journey mapping as a tool to better understand the significant experiences of those interacting with government. Attendees will split up between several tables and work together to visually chart out a single individual seeking a specific product or service from the government. At the end of the session, attendees will better empathize with challenges faced by constituents, and learn about a powerful tool many agencies are already using to streamline and improve those interactions.
Session 2. Engagement ELC Talks
Talk: Cracking the DNA of successful digital transformations – Lessons from successful outliers
Speaker: Michael Gale, Author, THE DIGITAL HELIX: Transforming Your Organization’s DNA to Thrive in the Digital Age"

More than 18,000 Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, 78 Fusion Centers, and many other law enforcement organizations depend on each other to share law enforcement and counter-terrorism information. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence Partner Engagement Information Sharing Environment plays a critical role in facilitating the flow of information among partners. ISE convenes and coordinates with law enforcement groups at Federal, state and local levels and supports the development of technologies that improve information sharing.
Moderator: Charles Santangelo
Modernizing IT – Getting more saving and insights (MGT and the Total Cost of Ownership (Tidewater C & D)
Modernizing IT is essential to creating savings, gaining more insights and managing risk, cyber and spend. Embarking on modernizing IT can gain you savings to be used over and over again. Begin with a solid modernizing business case and include capturing the total cost of ownership (TCO) - a challenge in the federal government. The IT Management & Modernization COI is embarking on a project to assist agencies in estimating the full or total cost of ownership for more accurate ROI calculations. This will help agency manage spending risks such as overspending on licenses. The goal is to provide agencies methods and tools to prioritize which modernization efforts to tackle first. Topics covered include managing risks, how TBM factors in, and what should or should not be included in a TCO estimate. This will be an interactive session, garnering your input (and encouraging you to volunteer) to help us create a useful playbook for TCO.

THE BUSINESS VALUE OF OPTIMIZED PC DEPLOYMENT
Dell EMC
Today’s workforce is still heavily reliant on PCs to get work done and is often accompanied by the need to work anytime, anywhere. Companies need the ability for PCs to be delivered and fully configured for users quickly, wherever those users work. Users want minimal disruption when they get a new PC, and IT departments need to maintain the system’s fitness, security, reliability, and efficiency over the life of that system. Relying on partners to assist in this space may be a prudent option for companies looking to focus on their business and not on mundane IT tasks. View full white paper here.
Focus on your mission: Let us manage your digital infrastructure
Verizon
Whether related to mission critical operations or routine public service to constituents, government agencies are increasingly dependent upon digital technology to operate efficiently and provide new and enhanced public service delivery. An oversupply of disparate IT management and reporting tools and internal agency segmentation make it difficult to take full advantage of technology investments while maintaining compliance with Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) mandates. Global Enterprise IT Management from Verizon integrates your existing management tools for all devices to a single, managed, uniform FISMA High compliant service delivery platform.

APPLICATION MODERNIZATION
DXC Technology
Many organizations have legacy applications sitting on one or more components that are already or soon to be out of vendor support. If this is the case, it’s time to consider modernizing these critical applications — making everything current or replacing if needed. View full white paper here.
CLEARING THE PATHWAY FOR EMPLOYEE INNOVATION
ICF
Early on, the Trump administration signaled the central role of innovation in reforming government operations and citizen services through the creation of the Office of American Innovation (OAI). White House Director of Strategic Initiatives, Chris Liddell, reinforced the idea, talking about the opportunity to create innovation centers of excellence across the government and recognizing the Department of Commerce National Technical Information Service as an example of the model. There is no shortage of recommendations to OAI regarding how to drive transformative innovation across government. They range from the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation’s extensive suggestions for enabling customer-driven innovation in the federal government to articles advocating for specific pieces of the innovation puzzle, such as the need to target middle-aged bureaucrats in innovation initiatives.

LEARNING AT THE POINT OF NEED
Pragmatics
As industry preaches the movement to mobile learning, most people picture millennials on their smartphones accessing critical training or information required for their jobs. Whether in the U.S.Military, Civilian Agencies, or Corporate America, this notion is often hampered by organizations’ information technology security policies which make access to this information limited to the smartphone. However, we should not think about mobile learning by associating the term with a smartphone, but by associating it with the ability to get information on demand where and when we need it. With more than 80% of our workforce population having access to a smartphone, and nearly 30% of that possessing only a smartphone (no landline), the shift in how the next generation learner gets and processes information is changing.

The path to modernization
AT&T
Remember when grassroots was innovative. When legacy meant the decades of time & talent you had invested. And investment meant something you built, not maintained. Today, more than 80% of federal government IT budgets are spent on maintaining systems, with only a fraction invested in innovation. Modernization is on everyone’s mind and a focal point of agencies today, but how do you get there? Especially with tightened budgets and evolving policies. View full white paper here.
Field Guide to IOT Security
Booz Allen Hamilton
As a society, we’re rushing into the Internet of Things (IoT) at a breakneck pace, applying it to anything and everything we can think of—cars, planes, and trains, pacemakers, light bulbs, baby monitors, homes, offices, factories, nuclear power plants, electric grids, even children’s dolls.

Leading in the New
Accenture Federal Services
Our hyper-connected world is changing faster—accelerating the volume and velocity of information, connections, and threats. This tectonic shift demands equally dramatic action by federal agencies wrestling with sprawling legacy investments, evolving cyber threats, and growing citizen expectations. You must lead change so that our government can continue to compete globally, secure our nation, and serve our citizens. Digital is fueling the next wave of change in government— fundamentally changing for agencies what they do, how they run their business, and how they serve their customers.

Agile reinforced
OnPoint
Gaining a technological edge is a strategic necessity in our increasingly digital world. This is especially true for the U.S. government. Not only is their “IT workforce drain a ‘creeping’ crisis bigger than Y2K1,” according to former United States Chief Information Officer (CIO) Tony Scott, but the prevalent ‘waterfall’ management process is not keeping pace with the digital demands of Americans, either. Citizens have new needs and expectations from government - outmoded IT processes need to transform and adapt to the Digital Age. This potential crisis is in fact a tremendous opportunity for government to not only replenish their ranks with forward-thinking technical professionals (developers, technical architects, and user experience, to name a few), but empower an untapped crop of Agile personnel to lead them.
