Our parent organization, the Business Ecology Initiative, just announced the addition of Peter Fingar, Author and Business-Technology Advisor, to the Optimization for Innovation: Reset conference program. Fingar’s keynote is Business Innovation in the Cloud:
Shift happens. The unexpected matters. Right now, there's something in the air, something really big. It's so big that to many it's hidden in plain sight. We are witnessing a seismic shift in information technology, the kind that comes around every decade or so, and it will have a huge impact on business, especially in today's volatile economy and world of exponential change. It's called "the Cloud," a 21st century business platform built on cloud computing technologies.
In this keynote, Peter takes us on a fascinating journey to explore what the Cloud portends for business. In the past, IT was about productivity; now in the Cloud it's about collaboration, a shared information base, and collective intelligence. The "wow" isn't about on-demand IT, it's about on-demand business innovation. Buckle up and get ready to win in this brave new world. You don't want to miss Peter's fast-paced and insightful talk.
Attendees will:
- Gain a fresh perspective on Change, Inc., that is, the current shift from linear change to a world of exponential change where we're completely unprepared because we have no prior frame of reference.
- Understand the shift from Information Technology (IT) to Business Technology (BT) enabled by SOA and Web 2.0, especially with the advent of Social Media.
- Learn how work works in the Cloud with Business Process Management (BPM) powering the new Business Network, the new Business Operations Platform, the new Business Operating System.
- Explore innovation's child, that is, outside-in customer-driven innovation and why BPM in multi-company business networks is needed in order to execute on innovation and to become a serial innovator.
- Come to grips with the "end of management," as we know it, and the move from command-and-control to connect-and-collaborate management with transparency being the invisible hand of management control. We'll also explore the new leadership needed in the fast paced world of total global competition.
