This morning I am giving the external keynote at a closed conference for senior client executives run by a major professional services firm.

'CIOs Need To Treat Stars Just A Bit Differently…. I won’t let the CIOs that I work with make a mistake.

Today I gave the keynote at an invitation-only meeting of senior executives looking at the future of their industry. My role was to bring perspectives on the broader drivers of change in business. One of the central themes of my keynote was the future of work and organizations.
