Having problems with message search?
BDPAers, the 13th Annual Education &
Scholarship Luncheon for the Cincinnati Chapter was held on Saturday.
The title of the Keynote Address was “Global
Strategy for the IT Professional” The Keynote Speaker was Brett Bonner,
Director of Research and Development at the Kroger Co. The talk really focused
on innovation. The word innovation conjures up many different visions, however a
definition that I like is “A creative idea that is realized [(Franz
Johansson)] (Harvard Business School Press, 2004)” Brett spoke
about the process and economic yields of innovation. As you can imagine, major
businesses would cease to exist in a few years without continuous innovation.
This is a lengthy topic; however, one
that I believe can lead to great gains from both a business and personal
perspective. It’s
also one that can’t be handled adequately in an email message. The
speaker gave us a web link that contains pod casts on the topic of innovation.
I listened to one of them this morning and found it quite enlightening. I
recommend that you check-out
I think you will find enlightenment
from the material on the website. I think it’s best to listen to one of
the pod casts (August 19th) http://libsyn.com/media/philmckinney/KI_20070819.mp3 before trying to deal with the prose
on the website. I also think it’s best to take the information in small
doses.
Have a great day!
