  4. "Technology has moved from a vertical industry to a horizontal

    layer across our society. Technology used to be a specialized field. Technology companies sold their wares to large companies in large, complicated IT packages and to consumers as discrete products (computers and software applications).” - John Battelle https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/bigcos-newcos-nine-trends-remaking-business-john-battelle GDS @jystewart
  5. "In the past decade, technology has dissolved into the fabric

    of our society. We all can access powerful technology stacks. We don’t need to know how to program. We don’t need a big IT department either. Now, technology is infrastructure, like our physical systems of highways and roads. This levels the playing field so new kinds of companies can emerge, and it’s forcing big companies to respond to a new breed of competitor, as well as a newly empowered (and informed) consumer base.” - John Battelle https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/bigcos-newcos-nine-trends-remaking-business-john-battelle GDS @jystewart
  6. "Growth and the large enterprise deals were also attributed to

    Salesforce selling directly to CEOs who, according to Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, are taking on the mantle of the CDO. Identifying who to sell to around the digital agenda is one of the challenges facing all suppliers, often it's not the title but the will of the holder to change that matters.” TechMarketView UKHotViews - 25th Feb 2016 GDS @jystewart
  7. "In a world where technology keeps becoming more complex, we

    all tend to turn our eyes away from specialist jargon we do not understand. Professional experts wield power precisely because they wrap their craft in language that is labeled as the preserve of “geeks.” Gillian Tett - The Silo Effect GDS @jystewart
  8. We need leaders who know what questions to ask and

    when to ask them GDS @jystewart
