that is what enterprise i.t. is. i can tell you with -- that its -- i can tell you the confidence that is what enterprise i.t. is. we need to get newer people in. we need to upgrade the skills that. let me try and describe it. the only thing interesting in technology is an exponential curve. and it doubles, and whilst we in our human experience live in linear times with linear skill sets, thinking what to do tomorrow, by the time tomorrow comes, technology has moved the world ahead a whole lot more than we could ever grass. so here we sit as humans in some roughly 20th-century experience of what consumer -- computer systems and networks and so on are, and the world is radically different in terms of innovation. the challenge is how do you get humans to the ball quicker to adopt these technologies and do so in a way that is safe and secure? that, for me, is the challenge of cloud. >> very nice. that leaves just into gina because she grapples with these problems every day. >> let me start by saying i feel far more at e

enterprise employee uses it. on the enterprise client, and all their own. and of 40 walks in with their own network nowadays, and the process enterprise data on the rise, and they probably -- it probably drag it into something like dropbox. tim mentioned an interesting statistic of how many people said they were using cloud. the only thing that is interesting is cio's who do not know that they are using every form a cloud that is available. this is the charge again. if the employee wants to be productive, a well-intended employee wants to be productive, just to send an e- mail to a colleague, and bounces off, so they drag it in dropbox and send it publicly, and suddenly all your data is in the cloud whether you like it or not, and the cio has no clue. the consumerization challenge is the challenge for adoption of the cloud. broadly, from an automation perspective, it is the case that for the omission build you a much more reliable concept. i happen to be a passionate fan of the models being built because their en

as we spent time looking at it, i have several slides to share in each enterprise.u have seen many before, so i will focus on the ones that have changed. in terms of the assumptions, each of these models and includes basic assumptions that it is good to make note of. many of the salary, pension, and benefit changes are city-wide. i have made note of some of those changing pension costs, those kinds of things. borrowing costs for the proposed debt is estimated at 5%. we have been very fortunate, as you know, in getting rates lower than 5%, but with -- for modeling purposes, we are sticking with that 5%. general inflation of 3% is anticipated over 10 years. these are a lot of numbers, but i wanted to show you that we go out of our way to show the 10 years of financials for those interested in the details. you will find very few utilities that share this level of detail, as well as projected rate changes over 10 years. we are proud of the fact that we're showing you as much information as we possibly can. the next couple slides, as we go through the settings for your a

as they do their operation and the strategic plan, how the enterprises using that as a tool. the second priority is around education and engagement. there has been a lot of thinking this past year about how we bolster our capacity to provide education and engagement of the public in difference takeovers on what the puc does. we talk about as a cradle to grave approach as far as wanting to go after the next generation of white -- of ratepayers and water users to folks in the public to elected officials so when you turn on your tap, you understand it is hetch hetchy water and an asset we need to protect and value. as you think about the power enterprise, when you are in the airport, it is powered by the puc. there's a lot of talk around how do we ensure the public, the investments we're making to the city agencies, whether it's around the school district or department of environment it's tied to getting our message out to the type of work we're doing in the community. there will be greater attention in that area. the last part is run workforce development. jobs are a huge party

it's almost second nature to someone in enterprise. you know if you don't balance your budget, ultimately you'll kill your enterprise, and killing a state is not a good thing to do. we're doing that to washington. our federal government keeps spending more and more than they take in. they're just killing the nation and our future. i'm asked, by the way, having like him come from the private sector, i spent 25 years in business, both venture capitalists for a while. how is business different than government? there are a lot of differences. one is, your job is harder. no question. but being in the private sector is very demanding and less forgiving. you see, in government, if you make a big mistake, you just blame the opposition party, and if the numbers don't look quite right, you go out and bond it and borrow more money. you can't do that in business. it's very unfor giving. you can't make major mistakes or you lose your job or other people's jobs or your investment or their investment. incentives, you understand the power of incentive

we would talk to the enterprising and see if that is compatible. we would look at it from the point of view of being a public agency. does it feature community benefit policies? does it meet the environmental goes -- environmental goals? doing it in a responsible way? from an economic standpoint, we would bring it to you because they would charge less than market value rent. finding that this was compatible and that we were willing to take this less than market value rent to meet the other criteria. guidelines are the operational part of it. the framework -- >> the framework says that the staff should be instructed as to how to do it. the one that is more reflective of our desire and intent would be the framework. >> correct. >> framework is more of the policy discussion, correct? >> correct. if that is the case, could we indeed -- could be separate them? does it make more sense to address them both together? there might be policy

really misses the fact that everybody's enterprise, whether it's a government enterprise or private enterprise, is dependent on the acts and omissions of everyone else on the network, and that makes it much more complicated. the last challenge is the very nature of what the internet is culturally. you know, the internet grew up with the assumption that those people participating in the network would be trusted people who had a commonalty of interests. so the fundamental architecture of the internet is a presumption of openness and accessibility. you can get to any data anywhere as long as it's connected in some way through a network wire or wirelessly. from a security standpoint, that's the exact opposite of what we have accepted as the premise of security in prior centuries where you locked things up if they were valuable. you put nem in a safe, as mike mcconnell said, and putt them in europe desk drawer and someone had to get into your space physically in order to see what you had and perhaps to steal it or destroy it. that presumption of openness, which is a good thing, challe e

this is the american enterprise institute. the underscores enterprise. that's not enterprise, and that is not enterprising, and nor is it faithful to the words of that constitution to devise the office of legal council, my successorers called it a sham. that's an apt word. you could call it a gimmick. i would call it embarrassing. indeed i would tend to want to use some of the very same words that alexander hamilton used in federalist 67, the most comprehensive treatment of the recess appointment's clause, because, you know, one of the things you discover when partisanship really gets bad, when, in fact, we're not seeking to integrate the powers, to have a workable government, but instead we're simply looking for ways to throw in the brakes. to stop all progress. to make sure that that bill that was passed with the majority of the people's representatives, the dodd-frank bill which i suspect most people in this room find anathema, but neth neverth was passed by a majority of the people of the united states. when the appointment power is used to defeat th

so these people have vested interests in the retention of this collective enterprise. narrator: and so, as the farm tries to adapt to market conditions, what alexander aksenov finds most difficult is how to change the people's mentality. ( speaking russian ) translator: the most difficult task still awaits us: that is, to make clear to each employee, also to those veterans of labor, just what is meant by partial ownership and what responsibilities it entails. this can't be accomplished in one or two years. what is vital is the pchological shift that both older and younger workers need to make. ( aksenov speaking russian ) narrator: the hope is that the transition to market conditions will force all farmers to become competitive and more efficient. but the circumstances are difficult: money for investment is scarce. even sales to milk factories are no longer guaranteed. the difficulties of free-market agribusiness are forcing some people to leave the countside. people who are leaving are usually youngste. everywhere across the world, people who are prone to migrate are
