The importance of technology in all of our businesses is clear. Your job is to optimize value from the technologies and information systems in your organization, and in this climate to do more of it with less. So what does that mean for big ideas such as innovation, knowledge management, cloud computing, software as a service, social networking, and the endless torrent of new and better technologies lining up at your doorstep?
The pressure to hold down or reduce costs, struggle with limited resources, and the cultural issues connected with implementing and dealing with any one of these new initiatives can be daunting - especially when many of us are still trying to tame e-mail and manage change and cultural issues of our existing technologies! But do we have a choice when it comes to moving forward? Of course not. We must continue to find ways in which our organizations can be increasingly innovative, profitable, competitive, knowledge-driven and globally connected.
In this lighting-paced, tour-de-force session, Tom Koulopoulos looks at how trends in technology and innovation are reshaping the landscape for your organization's IT strategy. His views, captured in eight books published in seven languages, provide a prescription for change in how we approach innovation, knowledge work, web economics and globalization, which is straight forward, comprehensive, and, above all else, incredibly practical. Tom will share his views, experience and case studies to help you identify the ways in which you can drive your own organization's efforts to increase innovation and better leverage existing and new technologies. He will also shatter many long-standing myths about how innovation occurs, the mechanics of knowledge management, and the benefits of new technologies such as social networking and software as a service. Come prepared to learn about innovation and to take a hard look at how issues of culture, generation, and leadership impact the way we use technology to optimize value. Tom's approach is insightful, cutting and at times, unorthodox. It's the reason Forbes.com called him "Business Visionary with an incisive view of world trade" and why, in the words of his long time mentor Peter Drucker, "Tom makes you rethink not only your business but yourself."
