| IT360 Announces Don Tapscott as Opening Keynote Speaker IT360 Conference & Expo announces industry leader, Don Tapscott, as the event's opening Keynote Address. As one of the world's leading authorities on business strategy and co-author of the NYT best seller Wikinomics: How mass Collaboration Changes Everything, Mr. Tapscott, Chief Executive of New Paradigm, will address IT360 attendees at 9:45am on May 1, 2007 at the Metro Toronto Convention Center, with his keynote titled, "Wikinomics: Harnessing the Power of Mass Collaboration". "I look forward to sharing insights from our work on how the web 2.0 is changing IT and business competitiveness at IT360" said Tapscott. Tapscott's talk answers the question what do MySpace, InnoCentive, Flickr, Second Life, YouTube, Linux, the Human Genome Project and the Chinese Morotcycle Industry have in common? There are examples of mass collaboration - where peers come together to create value. "IT360 is geared to provide professionals with clear solutions for today and insights into what lays ahead", said Bruce Cole, General Manager, IT World Expo Canada, Inc. "Don's address will demonstrate today's 3C's: collaboration, community & communication and how they continue to revolutionize business for this decade." Tapscott continues to say, "Today, thanks to the New Web, encyclopedias, jetliners, operating systems, mutual funds, and much else are being created by teams numbering in the thousands or even millions. While some leaders fear the heaving growth of these massive communities, evidence is strong that firms can harness collective capability and genius to spur innovation, growth, and success." write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
