Trusting Technology
Every business is dependent on technology today.
Yet 95% of the population does not work in tech, and many struggle to master its use in business.
Trusting technology is a book about forming ideas, exploring opportunities with customers and colleagues, and building your future together.
Graham Binks helps leaders build a better business on technology.
In 30 years of tech leadership, he has worked in Europe, North America and Asia, with Nike, P&G, Citigroup, JP Morgan, Eurotunnel, Disney, GM and 250 other large, medium and small businesses. Graham’s work integrates business and technology strategy and drives successful implementation through CEO advisory and team coaching to help organizations dramatically improve their business with technology.
Graham grew up in the UK and lives in Toronto, Ontario with his family. He travels widely for both business and pleasure. He holds an MSc from the University of Manchester.
