October 15, 2010, leading Information Technology (IT)
Innovation Experts and Education Professionals are meeting to
Discuss Innovation Strategies, Ways to Improve Operational
Effectiveness and How to Overcome Barriers to IT and Education
Pathways to Jobs. This first annual
IT
Innovation Summit – Silicon Valley will take place from
noon to 5pm at DeAnza Community College in Cupertino, CA.
"Many of the most significant corporate success stories have
been because of IT innovations," said Bill Cullifer, event
chair, session moderator, and chair of the
WhyITNow.org
initiative. "Leading executives understand that IT innovation
is a major factor for their companies' bottom lines and future
growth. Unfortunately, not all organizational decision-makers
understand or do a good job evaluating or implementing the
strategic importance of IT innovation."
"We believe what is special about our IT Innovation Summit is
that it occurs in a community college setting," Cullifer said.
With an emphasis on education, training and jobs, he noted,
"this IT innovation summit in the heart of the Silicon valley,
is at the right place and at the right time."
"IT Innovation has been a top priority for businesses over the
last decade," said Bob Haas, partner and Strategic IT director
at A.T. Kearney and event executive committee member. "Yet,
most companies consistently talk about the need for IT
Innovation, but don’t follow through with consistent, focused
investments and executive commitment."
The IT Innovation Summit panel, including MPICT’s James Jones,
will focus on IT innovation during a weak economy, thriving in
a chaotic economy, gearing up for prosperity and learning
about current industry studies, best practices and efforts to
improve education and career opportunities in IT.
