OSICON 2023 | Hosted by the Toledo Zoo
Hosted at the Toledo Zoo
Innovation is changing life on Earth
But is your organization talking about it?
Here’s the plain truth about industry: When technologies advance exponentially, organizations get uncomfortable. The result of this discomfort is silence. To IBM, Apple was they who must not be named. Japanese design made Detroit automakers go hush. The word digital caused Kodak to clap hands over their ears. With each of these, the mistake was the same - A refusal to address and tame the elephant in the room.
Tame the elephant with fellow business leaders
