Tweetable Quotes

“I can't believe the speed of information changing not information change. The information is always there, the information is always the same, but our ways of accessing it, utilizing it and generating information out of it is changing drastically and it's changing daily.” - Penny Breslin

“It's really important that you foster that particular type of culture within your firm. And then that constant never-ending improvement and constant learning starts to flow. And most importantly, you start to get more and more out of the technology that you're paying a lot of money for.” – Damien Greathead
