Notable quotes:

Mike Maiolo:

When I was building my career right out of college I don’t remember anyone ever asking if I liked the technology that we used at the company. It was a condition of employment. You either figure out how to use it or we’ll find someone that will. Part of the revolution that we’re facing as business leaders is that kind of thinking doesn’t work anymore. We have to embrace the challenge that comes from the type of young professionals that are coming out of college today.”

Josh Greenbaum:

“You only think you know what you’re seeing and you may never even begin to understand what’s really coming down the road.”

Jon Reed

“We can dramatically reduce project failure with more continuous monitoring of the health of projects from the very first day.”

Noel Fagan:

“We can use technology to encapsulate the lessons learned of the previous generations – because opinion without experience reads like a YouTube discourse or any page on Twitter.”
