Our topic, Innovation: Creating Sacred Spaces, was led by subject matter expert and MIT Professor Sherry Turkle. Professor Turkle recently published a new book, Alone Together. You can watch the video of her interview with Steve Colbert. We have gotten into some patterns of communication with technology that are working to our detriment. Sometimes, we are too busy communicating to think, too busy communicating to create, too busy communicating to connect with each other in the ways that matter, particularly when we need to innovate, to come up with truly new ideas. We explored how innovation happens in our over-scheduled agendas, and the role IT leaders can play in enabling innovation. Our executive session was be led by Roger Berry, former CIO of Disney Parks.
