DESCRIPTION
Over the next several decades success will be determined by how well organizations use and innovate with information. This year at Enterprise World we are launching the discussion of the Information Enterprise. What does it mean to be an Information Enterprise? How can we get there? What are our early successes? What are the challenges? We’re structuring the Innovation Track at OpenText Enterprise World as an interactive conversation using Innovation Games. Innovation Games, like war games, are immersive strategy exercises that help us form a big picture view of a complex situation, and make progress even if we lack perfect information. Enterprise World 2013 takes place in Orlando, Florida from November 17-21... join the conversation on Twitter with @OpenText using #OTEW2013TRANSCRIPT

The next information revolution asks,
What is the MEANING of information, and what is its

institutions that do these tasks. Peter Drucker

When you’re conversing with co-workers, customers or investors, the
richness and meaning of your story is what people really buy. Everybody thinks it’s the return on investment
that you’re selling…but it’s really the story about ROI that an investor takes
away. Tom Durel, former CIO/SVP
Blue Cross/Blue Shield

We look at those megatrends and forces to see which ones will truly
impact our business. Then we go look at what strategies we can devise to take advantage of those trends. The
final step is evaluating which technologies can enable those strategies. The value is how we
enable this dramatic change through technology.

WoW [World of Warcraft], as its 10 million devotees worldwide call it, offers a peek into the workplace of the future. Each team faces a fast-paced, complicated series of obstacles called quests, and each player, via his online avatar,
must contribute to resolving them or else lose his place on the team. The player who contributes
most gets to lead the team — until someone else contributes more. The game… is intensely
collaborative, constantly demanding and often surprising. “It takes exactly the same skill set
people will need more of in the future to collaborate on work projects.”
Rob Carter, CIO FedEx

The next information revolution is well under way. But it's not a
revolution in computer hardware, semiconductors or software, per se. Instead, it's a revolution driven by
the need to put the right information in the right people's hands at the
right time. Allen Brown, President & CEO, The Open Group

it’s no longer enough to focus on technology

The enterprise is an interface. People are its spark. Information is its fuel.
