MEMORANDUM FOR: See Distribution
FROM: Edward J. Maloney
Director of Information Technology
SUBJECT: Seminar--The Information Industry's Environment
in the 90's
1. Enclosed are tickets for the 24 March seminar on the future
environment that will be provided by the information industries in the
mid-nineties. The tickets are for distribution within your Office, as
you think appropriate. Admission is by display of either a reception
invitation or a ticket.
2. A brief summary of the agenda and schedule are attached.
3. OIT is sponsoring this seminar because of a concern that, as
information systems become an integral aspect of our operational
capabilities, Agency managers will have the insight necessary to plan the
future of their organizations.
4. Projecting the future is always risky business. To bring as
much knowledge, judgment, and experience as possible to this enterprise,
we have selected a senior group of speakers. All of them are recognized
within their spheres as experts and leaders. They have unusually broad
perspectives into the significance of emerging technologies and the
strategies of industry groups in exploiting them. We have tried to
arrange a program that will provide a mosaic of the different dimensions
of this future, with enough overlap to reveal the diversities of
viewpoint.
5. We hope that a good cross section of your a management
people will be able to take advantage of this opportunity.
