This is your opportunity to get technology updates from and ask questions of subject-matter experts. See the latest schedule at techbriefing.stanford.edu. This week's free Tech Briefing Paul Saffo - Futurist "Global Innovation and the coming Creator Economy" Friday, October 5 2 - 3:30 p.m. LOCATION: Turing Auditorium (Polya Hall, Room 111) PRESENTER: Paul Saffo, Managing Director of Foresight, Discern Analytics November 2008 was not merely the start of the current economic downturn; it was also the end of a 50 year long economic cycle and the transition to a long anticipated new economy. Our current crisis is nothing less than a shift from a dying consumer economy built on consumption to a new "creator economy" built on mass interaction and innovation. Understanding this shift provides a context for making sense of emerging industries from robotics to 3-D printing and anticipating the impacts on incumbent industries from automobiles to media and consumer products. The result will be maddening uncertainty, but for innovators who keep their head ? and keep their head up ? it will also be a period of unprecedented opportunity. Paul Saffo is a forecaster with over two decades experience helping corporate and governmental clients understand and respond to the dynamics of large-scale, long-term change. He is Managing Director of Foresight at Discern Analytics and teaches class on forecasting at Stanford in the Engineering School. Paul is also a non-resident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council, and a Fellow of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences His essays have appeared in a wide range of publications including The Harvard Business Review, Foreign Policy, Fortune, Wired, The Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, The New York Times and the Washington Post. Paul holds degrees from Harvard College, Cambridge University, and Stanford University. Miss a Tech Briefing? Session Videos are now available!

This week's free Tech Briefing Mobile Device Management - Stanford's MDM Tool TODAY 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. LOCATION: Turing Auditorium (Polya Hall, Room 111) PRESENTER: Ammy Woodbury, IT Services This briefing covers university policy regarding mobile devices, how to protect your iOS device using Stanford's award-winning Mobile Device Manager (MDM), and reporting tools for MDM now available to local network administrators. Mobile devices like the iPhone and iPad have become ubiquitous on campus. Mobile devices are expected to outsell traditional personal computers this year. Unfortunately, many users are unaware of their inherent security risks. Security features common on desktop and laptop computers are inconsistently applied across mobile device platforms. On a laptop, we have come to rely on anti-virus software safeguarding our system, but few mobile devices have such software. While most personal computers on campus are password-protected, few of us configure our mobile phones with a password or PIN to protect it against unauthorized use. And, since mobile devices are easily (and frequently) misplaced, the potential for unauthorized access increases. MDM allows you to quickly set up your Stanford email, calendar, and VPN. It also configures your device for the ISO's security best practices. All of this is done in a quick (under 2 minutes!) set up that helps protect your data and protect yourself. Learn more about this tool and how your organization can use it to protect your data.
