Richenda, my wife, remembers when U2 played at Waterford Regional Technical College, now WIT, at a price of 50 pence per student. She didnt go, she was a bit young. Who was U2 then anyway? But no doubt they were great. Many people missed their opportunity to see this U2 greatness in the making.
How do you become great? It’s not by one great deed nor one great goal nor one great success. Many people rest on one thing of greatness and it fades.
I’m so lucky to regularly meet so many great people today in business in Ireland and further afield. I am always keen for these people to share their knowledge and experience with the industry, within an industry organisation such as it@cork for example.
The it@Cork annual conference is coming up and many great people are speaking and attending. do see www.itcork.ie for more information.
I am really looking forward to hear Jim Mountjoy speak. A great person indeed, both for his achievements and his contribution to the technology sector in Ireland. Jim doesnt speak in public very often and maybe curses the thought of it. No doubt his to-the-point approach will come across from the podium as much as it does across the table. If you dont know of Jim, just do a google and you’ll see.
Other great people speaking at the conference include Charles Handy, Robert Scoble, Joe Gantly and many more.
Great People will gather in the 100’s in Rochestown Park Hotel, Cork - November 30th - Book at www.itcork.ie
In your mind, Who are the great people in the Irish Technology Sector? Do we do enough to reward them for their leadership and contribution?
