Jim Carroll keynoting Toshiba Global Exchange 2008 in Sydney, Australia

It’s been confirmed that I’ll be the opening keynote speaker for this large scale annual conference in mid-July.

My topic theme is “Smash that box” — I’ll take a look at the “key strategies and leadership ideas that have assisted some organizations to achieve breakthrough innovations and absolutely compelling levels of productivity.”

I’ve done an extensive number of high profile IT / hi-tech events like this – with clients like SAP, IBM, Ingram Micro., Microsoft, Motorola, NCR, the Society of Cable Telecom Engineers, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Verizon, in events that have been internally focus, or are large scale opportunities for executives to rethink the strategic role of IT.

It will be a pleasure to share my insight in Sydney. I’m a big believer that many organizations have barely scratched the innovation-surface when it comes to IT deployment; many organizations are still in basic implementation mode, and haven’t learned how to really leverage their investment to provide for significant transformation of their overall organizational capabilities.
