I happy to announce we landed a star CIO as the first participant in our CIO and technical leader panel. Dale Christian the CIO of Avanade will be strolling across the railway lines from Avanade HQ in the Seattle World Trade Center to join us for the afternoon panel session and cocktail reception following. Dale is an inspirational leader who was GM of the XIT unit at Microsoft when I assisted Dragos Dumitriu to make some dramatic changes there. [We published these results at the TOC-ICO in 2005.] Dale is the type of leader who gives his people space to innovate. He creates a culture that inspires quality and process improvement and I'm delighted to have him on our panel.
