MARK SMITH
Industry leader in business technology and research for business and IT management. Passionate optimist about finding the best from every person and situation. Love networking and talking about wide range of business topics that can be optimized through information technology. Been involved with decision-support and technology innovation since late 80's and been advancing the education on what's possible with technology.
Believes strongly in the art and science of research to help provide a deeper context on the industry and individual organizations. Without organizations have no comparison or depth to improve their business with technology and with benchmark to measure and compare, it is difficult to know where to apply improvement for maintaining a competitive edge or gaining one. No matter what business role, I believe that you can do more with technology and deliver improved results at a lower cost.
Passionate about the character of our youth in our country by volunteering time and energy into Boy Scouts where the basic context of Be Prepared and doing a good turn daily will pay dividends back to you in the future. No matter what you do, do your best and look for the positives that can help you and those around you enjoy life.
