Opening Keynote: Use the Downturn to Rethink and Thrive

MICHAEL ROGERS
MSNBC’s “The Practical Futurist” and Technology Expert

 

 

 

 

 
 

With the recession has come a predictable management demand to do more with less. For information technologists, that’s both a challenge and an opportunity. Clever and simple tools are emerging—sometimes from the consumer world—that can link the enterprise together in powerful new ways. That will only grow truer as our business processes continue to move into the virtual world, and the next generation of smart objects feeds yet more data into our systems. Knitting those processes and information together in simple and actionable ways can add real value without major capital costs. As individuals, companies and a nation, the greatest competitive advantage we have is our advanced capability in the digital world. Using those talents smartly in the new decade will be key to thriving both locally and around the globe.

JOHN CHICKERING, Fidelity

While most information technology leaders have recognized the need to better tap information for business advantage, many still struggle to translate this understanding into concrete strategies and action plans. This lack of information insight is especially perilous now, as volatile conditions leave little room for error. Change is essential as the strategies set in motion today will determine which organizations simply survive the economic downturn, and which thrive and lead their markets when it's over. EMC is working with some of the top information technology leaders in the world to drive an industry conversation to identify a way forward. Join EMC CMO Whitney Tidmarsh for a compelling, interactive view into how leaders are using information for competitive advantage.
