CEO Keynote Panel-Emerging Stronger from the Downturn Be better, stronger, faster, - this is the driving force propelling today’s IT leaders
emerging from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. The old adage,
“That which does not kill us makes us stronger,” proves apropos. The lessons learned
these past few years take on a new dimension as the framework for innovation. Change is
in the air. New business approaches and competitive models stress effective and
sustainable practices. Companies responded to the financial crisis by cutting costs and
capacity to meet operating budgets. They are leaner, more efficient and nimble. Moving
forward, the questions now focus on leveraging a strategy with corporate spending to
support escalating rebound momentum. The road to recovery, rather than littered in
guesswork, points to strategic positioning. New market opportunities become clear as
customers re-evaluate their purchasing parameters and potentially shift brand alliances. Panelists: |
