The "digital enterprise" may seem like a fuzzy marketing concept, but the impact to most IT organizations is clear: apply software innovation to drive deeper engagement with customers and front-line employees.
This transformation requires connecting innovation teams with core IT through lean startup disciplines, visionary leadership, lean analysis, agile architecture, agile development, lean data management and DevOps.
Cognizant CIO Mark Greenlaw discusses strategies for leading a "virtual" IT workforce that is spread across 12 countries in 4 continents.He presented at the Boston Society for Information Management.

What is the Benefit of an Open Innovation Process?Jose Briones
Open Innovation is now a very fashionable term and many companies are rushing to implement an open innovation process without fully understanding its value nor how it fits within their existing product development process. In this Chapter of the “Beyond Stage Gate” series we will discuss the different definitions of Open Innovation, where does it fit in the development cycle, software tools available and a case study. We will show how Smarty Ears, a developer of iPad apps for Speech Therapy and Communication, has used open innovation to greatly increase the number of ideas to market, as well as accelerate the product development cycle.
Enabling Innovation: A Strength In Any EconomyPhil McKinney
Innovation is not the sole responsibility of a single group within the organization. All groups play a role in enabling innovation.
This presentation challenges the CIO/CTO:
1) Think differently about their leadership role when it comes to enabling innovation.
2) Provide some insight into "whats coming" so they can express an opinion to their peers and CEO.
Don't set back and hope someone else is going to pick up the mantle. Take charge.
Ever asked why great engineers prefer working for certain companies? Or why certain companies are more admired than others? In this lecture I will share few ingredients of the strong engineering culture and why technologists prefer working for one company than for another.

Speech #1: Creating A Successful Social Business Marketing Strategy
With almost a billion members, Facebook's growth and stature is representative of the maturing social media landscape. Social technologies are no longer a bright shiny object, instead representing valuable relationships that require a coherent strategy and disciplined execution.
This session will make a case that social technologies should be a mainstay of your marketing program rather than a second cousin of interactive marketing. We'll look at the implications of this priority shift, using case studies from companies who are making changes to their overall business and marketing programs. We'll also go through a checklist of the actions you'll need to prioritize to be successful.
Speech #2: Title: Marketing In The Era Of Social Technologies
The excitement around social media often centers on the technologies -- Facebook, blogs, Twitter, etc. etc. But this is the wrong approach. Rather than think about crafting a strategy around social technologies, leaders should be pondering how they can use social technologies to support and strengthen customer relationships.
For many, Groundswell was the book that broke down barriers to accepting social technologies as an opportunity to make their businesses better. Open Leadership picks up where Groundswell left off, showing leaders how to open up business and create a culture that will make social media adoption–and on a greater level, adoption of a social business model–possible and successful.
We'll be looking at the art -- and the science -- of how to tap into the power of customers and employees, including examples of what organizations and leaders are successfully doing today, as well as how to get your organization started.

The legend of Jesse James -THE AMERICAN ROBIN HOOD
Jesse James and the Widow
• One day, as Jesse James and his gang were riding through Missouri, they saw a farmhouse and stopped to ask for something to eat. A widow lived there with three small children. She didn't have much in the house, but shared with them what she had.
• It was while they were eating lunch that Jesse James noticed that something was bothering this generous widow. He questioned her about it, and she broke down and told him her story. The mortgage was due on the house that very day, and since her husband had died, she did not have the money to pay it. Her landlord was not a generous man, and was sure to put her children and herself out on the street.
• "How much money do you need to pay the mortgage?" Jesse asked the widow.
• "Fifteen hundred dollars," the widow sobbed.
• Jesse James took out his money bag, counted out $1500 dollars and presented it to the widow.
• "I can't take this," she protested, but Jesse James insisted she use the money to pay off the mortgage.
• "Just make sure you get a receipt," he warned her, and she promised that she would. Then he got a description of the man, and left with his gang.
• Jesse James and his gang waited in the woods near the house until the man had collected his money from the widow. Then they rode out onto the road and stole their money back from the landlord.
THE END
• WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS STORY ?
• WAS JESSE JAMES AN OUTLAW OR A HERO?
• DO WE HAVE OUTLAWS OR HEROES LIKE THIS IN OUR COUNTRY?
• CAN YOU NAME THEM?

Sometimes the only difference between the winners and the losers is that the winners figure out how to innovate. Innovation is a broad term and this presentation outlines what it means for enterprises and companies involved in developing software.

Indian IT, ITES industries have grown tremendously and today there are industries emerging that offer knowledge based services. The abundance of knowledge and the interest in global firms to tap the entrepreneurial capabilities in young entrepreneurs has resulted in an innovation culture emerging.
In 2012, Lehigh University launched a new master’s degree in technical entrepreneurship. The cross disciplinary approach opened the door to graduate school education in technical entrepreneurship for students from all academic backgrounds, creating a melting pot of experience, skills and aspirations in the classroom. This one-year, 30-credit professional master’s program (M.Eng.) in technical entrepreneurship helps student entrepreneurs create, refine, and commercialize intellectual property through the licensing or launching of a new business. Students in the program learn by experiencing the idea-to-venture process in an educational environment that’s hard-wired to support the development of novel, innovative, and commercially-viable technologies. Attendees will hear about the types of students from the first cohort, the perspective of the faculty members responsible for developing and implementing the curriculum, and lessons learned.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
