September 9th Luncheon

TOPIC: "The Future of IT"

Speaker: Thornton May, IT Futurist and Professor at Fisher College of Business

Thursday, September 9th is the opening of this year’s AIM lunch meeting program. And, in order to make this one of our most memorable openings ever, we are pleased to announce that our September lunch meeting speaker is Thornton May.

Thornton May is a futurist, educator and author. His extensive experience researching and consulting on the role and behaviors of “C” level executives in creating value with information technology has won him an unquestioned place on the short list of serious thinkers on this topic. Thornton combines a scholar's patience for empirical research, a stand-up comic's capacity for pattern recognition and a second-to-none gift for storytelling to address the information technology management problems facing executives. The editors at eWeek honored Thornton, including him on their list of Top 100 Most Influential People in IT. The editors at Fast Company labeled him 'one of the top 50 brains in business.'

He serves as: Executive Director and Dean at the IT Leadership Academy in Jacksonville, Florida; Futurist - External Technology Advisory Board at the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering; and Co-founder of the CIO Solutions Gallery at the Fisher College of Business [the Ohio State University] where he also teaches the MIS program for eMBAs.

Thornton has recently written a new book, The New Know: Innovation Powered by Analytics.

Thornton obtained his bachelor's degree in Asian Studies from Dartmouth College; his master's degree in Industrial Administration from Carnegie-Mellon University, and developed his Japanese language competence at the Center for Japanese Studies at the University of Michigan and Keio University in Japan.
