[SOUND] CIOs

needs to constantly question the world around them and

wonder how new technologies can impact their business.

What if, for example, the way we do grocery shopping completely changed?

It is very easily imaginable that in a near future,

computers could analyze incredible amounts of data.

And predict the customers' behaviors.

For example, with a simple formula and

the heart rate of the controller, the speed of the trolley in the milk alley,

the size of the customer, the color of the purchased bottles, the time of the day,

the average temperature of the day, the number of hairs of the customer,

the length of the customer t shirt, and the estimation of the controller.

We will be able to estimate accurately, the minute needs of a customer, and

deliver products automatically to his home.

The question is not how to avoid new technologies but

rather how to benefit from them.

Indeed there was a time when a quill pen was an essential tool for

a business manager, but throughout history new technologies came as comets and

changed the world around companies.

The telegraph, for example, was way more efficient for long distance communication.

Later, Graham Bell invented the phone and

people could speak with each other, without even having to see each other.

More recently,

the birth of IT, and of computers in particular, also changed our habits.

But the pace is now increasing.

In 40 years, technology has evolved like never before.

And we believe the next big comet is yet to come.

However, many CIOs will try to protect against it.

But we believe the revolution will be so

important that it will break its walls apart.

This could lead to the end of the CIOs.

Many people would be happy because they think it would make things much easier and

less restrictive.

But it would rapidly be a disaster.

In an increasingly complex world, we need CIOs that do the dirty work and

make sure everything stays clean.

Hence, more than ever, CIOs need to keep a window open onto the world and

try to spot the big comet.

He should be aware that his clients and collaborators will not see how the comet

could potentially threaten the consistency of IT.

They will just be enthusiastic and willing to jump on it.

Since the CIOs want to be able to fly the comet, they will have to join it.
