Today the Internet is full of lists to tell us X number of ways to eat better, get in better shape, have better skin, be a better parent, dress better, build a better career, travel better and more. The New Yorker even has a list of the reasons why our brains love lists!
With Dell World planning in full force, though, here at Dell we are looking for real-world examples of organizations that have found a better way to compete, connect, lead, serve and innovate using technology and that want to share the stories with their peers.
“As we approach our one-year anniversary of going private and reinforce our commitment to a better way to serve our customers, we want to celebrate their successes,” says Cathie Hargett, Customer Engagement Program Leader at Dell.
Our new Dell World Better Way Awards will recognize innovation leadership in four categories:
- Security Innovation
- Cloud Innovation
- Mobility Innovation
- Big Data Innovation
To nominate your organization and share your story, please complete the one-slide template when you register for Dell World between now and October 1. From October 3-17, you and the Dell World community will vote for your favorite innovation initiatives and four winners—one in each category—will be invited to share their stories on-site at Dell World. To extend your Better Way legacy and transform education for the next generation of innovators, Dell will dedicate a solar-powered Learning Lab to a school or community center in Africa in honor of our four winners.
Register for Dell World today and share your organization’s “Better Way” by October 1, 2014.
