The supply chain industry relies on various factors to run smoothly, one being extensive collaboration between all parties involved to keep things moving, that’s what the ORBIE Awards 2024 are here to recognize. An operation’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) is at the epicenter of that collaboration, working to implement new solutions and develop strategies to create value for the business. Both Cornerstone Edge and the folks over at Radix Consulting Alliance have had the pleasure of working with countless individuals at the peak of their game, like Clarience Technologies. This year, the 2024 Michigan ORBIEⓇ Awards recognized Kevin Johnson, CIO for Clarience Technologies as a finalist for the award. Congratulations!
About the ORBIE Award
While technology had been receiving credit and recognition for years, like Laptop of the Year or Printer of the Year, ORBIE noticed the CIOs responsible for enacting real change within an organization weren’t lauded as they deserved. ORBIE set out to change that. Since 1998, they have been presenting awards to those they recognized as responsible for groundbreaking business transformations.
The ORBIE awards have grown, and now under its umbrella is the Inspire Leadership Network, a preeminent leadership peer network with multiple chapters across the country. Within the network, technology leaders share best practices, solve problems, and inspire each other to grow and nurture the next generation of technology leaders. The leaders recognized by the ORBIE awards serve as an inspiration to all in the technology space to learn how to best use technology to lead within an organization.
