Sarah Jansen Thrivent

IT Transformation: It Starts With People

Sarah Jansen, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer
Thrivent

Getting your IT organization ready to enable enterprise transformation is no easy task. In this session, Sarah will talk about her approach based in three focus areas – people, process and technology.

While all three areas are important, Sarah says, “At the end of the day, the work won’t get done without people.” That’s why her first priority when modernizing IT focuses on building the right team, skills and relationships. Once you have the right team in place, you can focus on processes by evaluating what’s working and what’s not; and being flexible with new ways of thinking.

With many organizations facing legacy platforms and technical debt, you’ll also hear how the Thrivent team is tackling these challenges while modernizing workforce and client technology to accelerate transformation and growth.

Sarah is sponsored by AHEAD.
