TTEC Presents Jim de Piante, Project Manager for the IBM "Watson" project.

Featured Speaker

Jim De Piante - IBM

Please join the IT Community leaders across Research Triangle Park, as we welcome Jim De Piante for a key-note address. Jim de Piante was Project Manager for the "Watson" project and currently works for IBM. He will be addressing the TTEC membership about leadership and project management in this talk. Jim puts an interesting spin on what it means to be a project manager, how to lead, and how to get the most out of your team.

As many of you probably know, "Watson" is an artificial intelligence computer system developed by IBM that competed on the game show Jeopardy!. Watson managed to beat the star-studded cast of Brad Rutter, the biggest all-time money winner on Jeopardy!, and Ken Jennings, the record holder for the longest championship streak.
