here is one more idea for a keynote:
Cavit Yilmaz, General Manager at Amazon
As a GM, he is leading the fulfillment center in Leipzig with a couple of
thousands of employees. We all know Amazon "as a website" and as a company
offering some cool IT services. He could give us insights on how the company
is working "behind the scenes" - only few are aware that there is a lot of
stuff going on and that those are the things that actually make Amazon be
the world best online store. So funny enough, they win the game in the
offline world...
Cavit is none of the IT guys, but a really good manager who can step back an
reflect what's going on there - it would be more of the "change perspective"
kind of keynotes. For us there is a lot to learn about what it actually
takes to run an innovative, agile and rapidly growing company. What makes
them successful and how they actually live "agile", "lean", "kaizen",... -
some aspects we can learn from in the software industry.
There also is a downside of this proposal: I actually have no clue if he
would do a keynote - especially as ECE is in november. Q4 is hell in retail,
so chances might not be high. Still, I would approach him with that idea if
you are interested.
Cheers,
Simon
