Agenda
1:30pm – 2:10pm	Career Transformation : from Technical to Business Management, by Herman Faizal Many believe the notion of "Once in technical... forever technical". Many do not see how they can possibly move from a IT position to a non-IT position within their organization without losing their seniority. The good news is... when there is a will, there is a way. A career transformation from a IT role to something less technical is achievable when you set your mind to it. I'll share my personal experience in this regard. I'll talk about what it takes to take that plunge, the skills, the mindset and all you need to better prepare yourself to make that career move.
