Some traffic flow issues leaving the keynote. Preparing me for the music festival I’m attending this weekend, I guess.
“If we haven’t already started (to become a digital business), we are too late and we will be disrupted by the competition we know about and the competition we don’t know about.” - Johnson Controls CIO Diane Schwarz. #CloudWorld #OCW
Fascinating sustainability innovation case with Grupo Bimbo - They developed their own electric vehicles and have built hundreds for their bakeries. #CloudWorld #OCW
“We think if we innovate the right way, we can become more secure.” - Deutsche Bank CTO Gordon Mackechnie. #CloudWorld #OCW
Oracle CEO Safra Katz opens #OCW with “What we learned through Covid is that it is absolutely critical to have a digital connection” with employees, customers, suppliers, partners. #CloudWorld

My watch asked me if I was working out while I walked from the #SuccessConnect show floor to my room in the Venetian. Definitely getting those steps in.
