The sharing came from the LaRed Management principle of Trust in God with the focus on Proverbs 11:28 which says “Trust in your money and down you go! Trust in God and flourish as a tree.” We learned that a heart without the fear of God has no control from within and will become self-willed and rebellious. Challenge question for us was - When things go wrong, what source do you turn to?
Our first session focused on IT Manager skills with Paul Federwitz and Stephen Ayuuni throwing light on and discussing with everyone the various skills to master, practical skills and tools for being effective at managing daily tasks. Sustainable technology and programs. Five key things build up the IT Manager to be fruitful and effective they are: Godliness, experience, people skills, technical skills and management skills. To be effective, an IT manager should be engaged in the mission of the organization, be embedded with people, be aware of current trends, understand the jobs of the people they support and be included in the decision making process. There is no gain say that IT should be driving new efforts.
We got together in table groups and worked on an IT disaster recovery exercise. This was very helpful as it gave people a good understanding of the situation of how to mitigate and get others involved in planning and doing something proactively to get operations back up and running should a disaster strike. You never know tomorrow so better be prepared just in case something happens.
Again after lunch we separated into various table groups and everyone had to choose which BOF session to go to. We ended the day playing volley ball and having fun together.
