Recommendations

Andrew Johnston, Head of Telecoms, AIB Group

“I met John at a conference some time back and subsequently received an invite to attend a social media presentation he was giving through CIO Connect. His experience of delivering social media services and the manner in which he presented the challenges led me to ask John to deliver a similar talk to large group of IT staff within AIB under the umbrella of our Innovation Forum. I was not disappointed. John spoke for over an hour and his audience would have been happy to stay longer. His mixture of real world experience in dealing with end users, technology and technologists mixed with an abundance of anecdotes, Q&A and humour made for a hugely engaging and energetic talk. John managed to keep everybody's interest without belittling or underselling the challenges and issues of introducing social media into a corporate environment. This area of technology is fast gaining traction and will be especially challenging for the corporate environment. If this is something you need to find out a little more about I would without hesitation recommend you take the time to engage John. His enthusiasm for the subject, along with his undoubted experience and great communications skill, make this time well spent. I would have no hesitation in engaging John again or recommending him to others.” April 8, 2011

Barbara Dossetter, Delivery Director, CIO Connect

"John is passionate about Social Media and its ability to facilitate collaboration within an organisation and across organisational boundaries. This is particularly important because he is a tenured IT professional and understands governance and security. But, he also understands his customers. The presentation he gave to the members of CIO Connect last week in Dublin was superb – a perfect score from them. It was practical, clear, instructive, inspiring, fear dispelling and very entertaining. He covered the issues, the challenges and summed up with how he was handling all of these. Fantastic and he has inspired me to use these tools both more and better. I can recommend John as a practical and passionate evangelist for collaboration.” May 26, 2010
