Talk Topic: The Role of Business Transformation, Social Media and Enterprise Systems in the Air Force
David Tillotson, CTO Warfighting Integration Directorate
March 9, 2011

Abstract

This will be more of an "interactive brainstorming discussion" than a prepared presentation. The subject is "what the role of business transformation at the Air Force, the role that social media will play, and the evolution of enterprise systems." It'll work similarly to the discussion we had on 10 Nov 2010 with Brig. Gen. Earl Matthews, CIO of US Transportation Command.
