Some sound bites from the two keynote speakers that kicked off the conference this morning.
Evolving Role of the CIO: Asif Ahmad, VP Diagnostic Services & CIO, Duke University Health Systems
- Building high performance teams in this economy is getting more and more difficult.
Information and data is an enterprise asset, just like buildings. - CIO as process leader – Embrace what the institution is driving, rather than what the technology is driving.
- Communication is critical to empowering and organization – you can never over communicate in large organization.
- Technology on a bad process just makes the bad process happen faster.
Improve and Achieve Greater Business Value: Pete Gibson, Senior Vice President & Chief Technology Officer, Wyndham Hotel Group
- Project managers probably know it better than executives know it.
- It is rough out there—how do you add value? If you don’t add value your gone.
- 75% of the workforce is not engaged.
- Change is happening greater outside the organization than inside the organization. We have to keep up with the outside.
- How can you improve and achieve greater business value in these uncertain times? There is no silver bullet—it comes down to individual and team performances.
- People that understand the business and craft the solution are going to be the future.
- We’re the most un-automated group in the world.
Peter thinks that we're in the most exciting field there is right now. Do you agree?
