Summary

Successful technology/business strategist and thought leader. Our customers drive our businesses – their needs should drive our actions. Every business should have a strategic plan and a strategic technology vision. Marry them up and you’ve created a successful enterprise, able to quickly meet the needs of customers and take advantage of “business moments” as they emerge. Technology serves to help drive business to places it’s never been before. With the new digital decade upon us, we can’t “walk to the station” or we’ll miss the train. Consumerization of new technology takes place at an amazing pace – almost immediately. New competitors are emerging faster than ever. Don’t look in the rear-view mirror. Learn appropriate lessons from the past and thrive with the future.
