Story Highlights
OpenText today announced that Malcolm Gladwell, author of five New York Times bestsellers and Billy Beane, legendary baseball executive will be keynote speakers at OpenText Enterprise World 2018. These world-class speakers join Mark J. Barrenechea, Vice Chair, CEO and CTO, OpenText on the Enterprise World stage, where he will address the future of technology, and the intelligent and connected enterprise.
“The future of business is radically changing and the nexus of forces are epic: digital, cloud, AI, IOT, security, millennial workforce and consumers, quantum computing and more. Businesses need to transform legacy platforms to digital platforms in order to compete and win the future,” said Barrenechea. “Enterprise World 2018 is the world’s leading Digital and Enterprise Information Management forum, and an incredible opportunity for our customers and partners to hear first-hand how OpenText’s purpose and promise is inspiring new ways to work and engaging both humans and machines in the digital experience.”
Barrenechea will open Enterprise World 2018, and be joined on the first day by award-winning author Malcolm Gladwell, who brings his unsurpassed ability to be both entertaining and challenging to the Enterprise World stage. Gladwell is a much sought-after speaker, who took the business world by storm with his books The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, and David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants.
Day two of the Enterprise World program features Billy Beane, one of the most progressive and talented baseball executives in the game today. Beane is credited with molding the Oakland Athletics into one of baseball’s most consistent winners by implementing a statistical methodology that has come to be known as the “Moneyball” philosophy. His compelling story was told in the best-selling novel and Oscar nominated film – Moneyball.
“Malcolm Gladwell is one of the most influential and revolutionary thinkers in the world of business, inspiring Enterprise World delegates to think differently about business strategy and outcomes. And Billy Beane will show that data and information are the most valuable assets for any organization that strives to be the best. Alongside the OpenText content delivered at Enterprise World, we will showcase how organizations can use information and technology to define the future of digital,” said Barrenechea.
