I wanted to tell you that I have never heard or seen a presentation as exciting, dramatic and logical as yours as to what information systems can do in our immediate future!

Though it was inconvenient to travel to Boston at the time, I was glad I did…It was the first time I had heard a presentation on information technology that made sense to me as a CEO. As a result, I invited Jim to join the Board of Directors of Best Buy as we were facing challenging IT decisions. To my pleasant surprise, Jim brought more to us than technology expertise; he brought compelling perspectives on leadership, strategy and demonstrated strong communication skills that greatly contributed to positive outcomes from our board meetings.
