"Technology has the
power to alter reality. It lets you make the impossible possible." An overwhelming majority of hardware and software manufacturers agree that, in general, their customers are dramatically under-utilizing the tools they already own. Is it any wonder that many are beginning to question whether technology will ever live up to their expectations? As we strive to maintain a competitive edge, it's important to understand that technology is only one component of the equation for success. In this powerful presentation, Daniel Burrus will share valuable strategies for integrating strategy, technology and people to maximize your technology investment. Creatively applying new tools, as well as the tools you already have in place, can unlock opportunities and provide new competitive advantage. |
Note: for audiences that are not technically oriented, meeting planners may want to use the word Futureview® instead of Technotrends® in the main title. |
