Cutter Summit 2007 - Volkswagen Case Study
This afternoon is a treat here at the Summit. Prof. Rogelio Oliva is leading a fantastic Harvard Business School (HBS) like case study for our group, using a real world situation at Volkswagen of America.
Rogelio was on the HBS faculty for Technology and Operations Management, and is now on the faculty at the Mays Business School. He has a PhD in Operations Management and System Dynamics from MIT. What a treat here! Rogelio is dynamic and fast-paced, and how he engages the audience makes everyone feel like they're sitting at HBS as fellow classmates. The case deals with real IT budgeting negotiations at VW/Audi, and the group is totally getting into it. Rob Austin co-wrote the case, and everyone in the room is having great fun debating the case, bringing a wealth of knowledge to the conversation.
It's a first for the Cutter Summit. Great fun. Lots of energy.
After a short break, we go into a panel discussion with Rogelio, Javier Gomez Diaz (CIO of Mexico's Grupo Bimbo and LatinAmerica CIO of the Year 2004 (Oracle Magazine) and Mexico CIO of the Year (InfoWeek), plus our own Mike Rosen (Cutter), and (surprise) a key player from Volkswagen from the case study, Warren Ritchie, IT Director.
Fantastic session, and Tom DeMarco is running the panel, which is another home run for the Summit. Wow.
