This Thursday, he will share the dramatic changes related to Microsoft's acquisition of LinkedIn and how to navigate these changes. This tutorial is NOT an “egghead” drill-down, but a realistic look at what’s the most valuable for the vast majority.

"THE DATA DRIVEN REVOLUTION: THE FUTURE OF CORPORATE TECHNOLOGY": MARCH TECHNOLOGY FORUM SUMMARY 

Written By Glenn Boylan, PMP

The March Technology Forum featured a fascinating presentation titled "The Data Driven Revolution: The Future of Corporate Technology", presented by Steven Kostyshen.

My reaction to Mr. Kostyshen’s talk can be summed up in two words. Mind. Blown.

Co-chairs Nancy Berlin and Steve Kruger opened the Forum, which was once again hosted by Hewlett-Packard Enterprise in their beautiful new café. Nancy and Steve reviewed the upcoming Atlanta chapter meetings, including two new “PM in the AM” events coming up in April – one at the Georgia International Convention Center near the airport on the 18th, and the second at Alpharetta Presbyterian Church on the 19th.

Nancy then introduced Steven Kostyshen. His talk was a futuristic discussion about what Steve believes will be unprecedented change in almost all aspects of society due to the advancements in Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
