“Dr. James’ diverse background brings a unique perspective to TechEd 2006,” says William Neece, conference director. “Audiences around the world have found her presentations to be full of innovation and a common sense.”

Her presentation at TechEd, “The Human Face of Technological Change”, Dr. James will focus on how we are all becoming "cyborgs," part technician and part human consciousness.

She believes the next generation of worker class, dubbed the knowledge worker, or the portfolio professional, has different skills and a different character than any previous worker class.

As she puts it, “Our current leadership assignment is nothing less than the re-making of our traditional workers and our organizations into more civilized and productive cyber forms.”

“We are very proud to have Dr Jennifer James at TechEd 2006!” adds William.
