Getting special and staying that way requires innovation. But how do you do it? Anybody can give you a theory, but we focus on innovations that matter - because we don't just advise, we execute.
Join us at the IBM Forum 2006 and discover a new culture of innovation.
At this event, you'll hear the views from local leaders representing the public and business sectors, professional and academic bodies, on how they have achieved differentiation through innovation. The Forum will also feature an interactive dialogue session at which industry player and academia will exchange views on collaborative innovation and the role IT plays.
