Abstract:
Our keynote speaker, Chuck Porter, will kick-start our thinking about IT’s role in harnessing innovation to enable enterprises and organizations to better meet their strategic goals, such as profitability, productivity, efficiency or competitive advantage.
Following Mr. Porter’s dynamic opening remarks, Steve Brilling will facilitate a distinguished panel of existing and former CIOs to examine the responsibility and role of IT in capitalizing on innovation. Some specific questions that will be addressed are:
1. What are the technologies emerging today?
2. How does one keep up on emerging technologies?
3. What is the difference between efficiency and innovation?
4. Is IT leading or following in efforts to introduce and enable innovation?
5. How do organizations refocus IT towards innovation? What are some challenges and coping strategies?
6. What is the appetite of corporate America to take on new technology?
7. What are the tried and true approaches in implementing new technology?
