Perot Systems' Delphi Consulting Group Sponsors Event on Innovation as Sustainable Process, Not 'Quick Fix'

Community of Information Technology Innovators to Gather in San Diego, CA on Oct. 16-19 


PLANO, Texas, Oct. 11  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Creating and incorporating world class information technology innovation into organizations will be the focus of the Business Process Innovation Summit 2006 hosted by Perot Systems' Delphi Consulting Group on Oct. 16-19 in San Diego, CA.

People and organizations interested in learning how to maximize innovation for the long term and use innovation as a sustainable process instead of as a quick fix will hear from experts in six areas including manufacturing, healthcare and media/broadcasting.

"This forum is one of the first to ever examine innovation and processes that support innovation in organizations over the long term," said Thomas M. Koulopoulos, co-founder of The Delphi Group in Boston, MA.

"We are bringing together people from business and industry backgrounds who have one thing in common -- they have successfully managed innovation in such a way that their organizations and clients stand to benefit over the longer term," Koulopoulos said.

"For more than 15 years, The Delphi Group and Perot Systems have guided senior IT and business executives concerned about stimulating innovation in organizations and enterprises," Koulopoulos said.

The event combines the best of The Delphi Group's consultative education events into a single comprehensive program.  The four-day event includes a full-day workshop teaching core innovation management skills and a full-day, hands-on development session called "BPM Bootcamp."  Additional sessions offer further focus on managing knowledge and business processes, with practical experts sharing business-applicable theories, case studies, tactics and strategies for fostering innovation.

The conference equips organizations with the tools to further advance innovation in their IT, knowledge management and business process outsourcing programs, as well as providing information needed to remain on the leading edge of trends in the rapidly growing business, process and technology community.

Highlighting this year's conference will be well-known industry leaders offering insight into their experience in innovation management including:

   *  David Clarke, chief innovator at Toolwire, Inc., who will discuss
      12 approaches to innovation that can benefit any business.
   *  David Eckoff, vice president, New Products at Turner Broadcasting,
      providing insight into innovation at the intersection of media and
      technology.
   *  Kevin Fickenscher, MD, vice president of clinical transformation at
      Perot Systems, discussing a call to action for leadership and a
      "challenge to change."
   *  Tom Koulopoulos of the Delphi Group and director of Perot Systems'
      "Innovation Lab" will share his view of the challenges and
      opportunities ahead with regard to globalization.
   *  Derek Miers, co-chair of BPMI.org and Enix Consulting Limited will
      explore the positive impact of process innovation on corporate
      agility.
   *  Neil Montgomery, president and CEO of Davis Controls LTD, will look
      beyond ERP to real-time analytics and flow.
