Poll on usage of new technologies conducted during the show:
The poll explored the extent that firms are using new technologies for different management practices: the area with the highest usage is financial management, followed by services delivered to clients, then marketing and new business generation, then influencing innovation, then knowledge management, then people management and finally strategy development. There were significant variances, with new technologies not on the radar at some firms and technologies in place at others. The poll also covered advocacy for and actions to enhance employee engagement.
