Every Revolution First Begins with Education

When Marc Benioff declared in early 2015 that “The digital revolution needs a trust revolution,” I was so excited. But, as time passed, my excitement turned to frustration. I realized several critical questions had not been answered, and the answers were needed for a trust revolution to be launched.

  • If we are going to have a revolution, against whom or what are we revolting?
  • What weapons and tools will be needed to fight the battles and win the war?
  • How will we secure the funding to build the weapons and tools, and pay the human resources, required to do battle?
  • How will we measure our success in waging the revolution? How will we know when, or if, we have won

The Inaugural Cornerstone Award 2014

| | Leave a Comment

Last week in New York, I was privileged to join some fellow “pioneers” in receiving the inaugural Cornerstone Award from the Electronic Signature & Records Association.  Amy Boss, Pat Fry, David Whitaker, and Steve Bisbee were invited to share the stage with me (or vice-versa) and discuss what we imagined when we began to create the legal framework for what is now known as electronic commerce.  It was great fun to have the dialogue and to look back, however briefly, on what we undertook to accomplish in a world without the Internet in which a fax was a really cool thing to send overseas.  The award, a beautiful tall crystal, states it is “in recognition of your foundational vision and … Read More

Keynote—Building Trust in a Digital World

| | Leave a Comment

On May 3, 2011, I will be in New York City.  The day is a first for me—two keynote addresses at two different events, with two very different audiences. 

First, I will be opening the day reprising for IANS at their New York Users Forum my keynote presentation on Governing Security: Charting a Path Forward.  I gave this address at their Washington, DC event and am thrilled to be invited to deliver again the gospel of rules-based design for governing security.  

Then, later in the day, I will be speaking to the LRN Knowledge Forum, a by-invitation only event for their corporate partners.  I serve as a subject-matter expert for LRN’s Ethics and Compliance Alliance and will be speaking … Read More

Encore: Governing Information: The New Job Description for Records Professionals

| | Leave a Comment

Word has quickly spread about the gauntlet I threw down in Baltimore on March 8th when I spoke to the ARMA International chapter meeting.  This event was the first chance to present my manifesto to records professionals on how to transfer their careers.  Now, other ARMA chapters in the region are calling and asking me to preach the manifesto to their members as well.  Cool.

My next presentation will be on May 12, in Silver Spring, Maryland at 6:00 pm.  Details on the location have not yet been released but I will post them here when they are made available.  In the meantime, if you are in the DC area, do plan to join us on May 12.  … Read More
