March Meeting - Canceled
2020-03-12 17:00 - 20:30 | Madison Hotel, 1 Convent Road, Morristown, NJ, United States
Tonight’s NJ SIM Meeting has been Canceled
Given the rapidly unfolding response to the threat of coronavirus, the leadership of NJ SIM has decided to cancel tonight’s meeting.
We want to emphasize that we have no knowledge of any NJ SIM member either having or having been exposed to the coronavirus. NJ SIM is canceling out of an abundance of caution, based on the news of the past two days, including the cancelation of local events and the move to “work from home” for many local companies. In particular, we’ve heard from many members that their companies have advised them to avoid group meetings in order to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.

We will immediately begin planning a series of online presentations and discussions in place of face-to-face meetings until the threat of coronavirus recedes.
Jim Knight, the former Global CIO of Chubb Insurance company and 39 year IT veteran, will be sharing his career story and what worked for him as he progressed through a very successful career.

SIMNJ Lunch & Learn
2020-04-23 12:00 - 13:00 | NJ, United States
As a result of the “social distancing” policies designed to curb the spread of coronavirus, most of our companies have undergone a sudden and profound shift in how we work and do business. The new dynamics have largely been enabled by IT, but they also place new added strains on IT systems, services and cybersecurity. For our Spring 2020 “Lunch and Learn,” NJ SIM is hosting a virtual forum, moderated by Dr. Stephen Landry, for members to discuss how they’ve dealt with the coronavirus and the shift to remote work. Some of the topics we will explore are:

How prepared was your organization?
What were the biggest surprises?
How will this experience change the way you, your team, and your company work in the future?
What’s one piece of advice you would have given yourself three months ago to make this transition less painful?
How are your teams adapting the new way of working and remote management?

Please join us online as we learn from one another and discuss questions around remote work, the transition to digital business models, and how this will likely play out in the next few months and years.
If you would like to submit questions in advance of the “Lunch & Learn”, please email them to Keith Barros at keith.barros@shu.edu. FREE for all SIM New Jersey members.
Please register for the event below, or email your RSVP to Karen Kostulas.

SIM National CXO Series - Nov 18th
2020-11-18 12:30 - 13:30 | Webinar
SIM National CxO Series Featuring CEO and CIO of UKG

Our next session in the Cxo Series will feature both the CEO and CIO of UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group).
Join us for this fascinating conversation with two of the key figures in the transformation of a multi billion-dollar company.

UKG CEO Aron Ain fiercely contends that there is a direct link between employee engagement, customer satisfaction, and business success – and he has proof. When he became CEO of Kronos in 2005, Ain and team put a laser focus on employee engagement as a growth strategy and saw worldwide employee engagement scores skyrocket as revenue nearly tripled to beyond $1.5 billion.
Passionate about delivering the experience that customers expect, Ain asserts that employee retention leads to loyal and satisfied customers. According to Ain, “Employees who feel valued stay longer and develop a deeper understanding of and stronger relationships with our customers. It is their experience and knowledge that allows UKG to deliver incredibly innovative products and a superior customer experience.” Ain’s focus on the customer experience is the reason that a customer-first orientation is a core value intricately woven into the fabric of the company.
UKG CIO, John McGregor has made a significant impact on the company’s strategic direction, leading the effort to build Kronos Cloud, which is home to customers worldwide, and helping to drive the company’s successful transformation into a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company. As part of that evolution, he restructured his department as an IT-as-a-service organization—implementing a model for IT operations that was well ahead of the industry curve.
In April 2020, Kronos and Ultimate Software merged to become UKG, a combined company with more than 12,000 employees and $3 billion in revenue. Please register on the National SIM Page.

Instead of a typical meeting with a presentation by a thought leader followed by a question & answer period, This month we want to give you the floor and have a Roundtable discussion about how we’re planning for Spring 2021 in light of the ongoing pandemic.
Recent closures have shown that COVID-19 is still disrupting our lives and our businesses. Are IT leaders continuing what they started in 2020, or are their plans changing as a result of the coronavirus resurgence? While many companies invested strategically in technology as part of their pandemic response, the business environment continues to be soft for many sectors of the economy. How is your company faring? What new investments in technology are you planning? Do you see further declines in your business sector, and if so, how are you responding to this?
Join the discussion as we delve into these questions. Attendance will be capped at 24 participants to foster conversation. FREE for all NJSIM Members.
