Diane will be presenting keynote session, “Is Leonardo da Vinci the Muse for CDIOs?” In retrospect, Da Vinci was masterful at studying science with the explicit intent of applying these learnings to perfect his art. What inspiration can we learn from the past to fuel the integration of digital and information in our roles?
After lunch Rich Gius, Greg Ericson, Bryan Tutor and Kevin Christ will be participating in an executive panel on “Becoming a One-Handed CIO.” Prominent North Texas CIO’s will discuss how they reconcile and address competing influences on the technology agenda and how they reach a “one-handed answer” to the trade-offs between inertia and the latest buzz.
