How to Survive 100 years in the IT industry

Wednesday 19 October 2011, 6.30pm

Speaker: Steve Wood, Strategy Vice-President, IBM UK

IBM Centenary Lecture

"A century of corporate life has taught IBM this truth: To make an
enduring impact over the long term, you have to manage for the long
term"

If the many men and women of IBM's past were to visit today, they
would hardly recognize the products or the services. But they would
recognise the importance of pioneering these spaces to make the world
work better through information and the tools of thinking.
In today’s competitive business environment adaptability and
creativity are some of the key tools in a business’ armoury. Find out
from Steve Woods, IBM Vice-president of Strategy the key lessons they
have learned, what every IT company needs to know to survive and what
they're doing to survive the next 100 years.

"A company can, and must, change everything about itself ...except its beliefs"

Admission by free ticket only, available from the events office.

Location: Lecture Theatre, Ron Cooke Hub, University of York
