"Printing in the 21st Century -
A Proud Industry or an Obsolete Craft?"
Keith Davidson
Convergence, driven by exponential growth in the power of digital
technologies, is redefining communications. No communications craft
is more threatened by these technological changes than printing.
These changes threaten to completely restructure this 500 year old
industry and profoundly reduce the economic importance of printing,
the technology named the "most important" of the second millennium.
This presentation will examine the factors influencing the future of
print, the directions that the printing industry is going, the effects
on communication in business and society, and propose the document as
a paradigm for strategic direction.
About the Speaker: Dr. Keith Davidson is a strategy consultant,
speaker, and writer. >From 1984 until his retirement in 2000, he was
President of Xplor International, a worldwide association representing
the document systems industry. He was also founder and President of
the Electronic Document Systems Foundation, and continues to serve on
its Educational Excellence and Scholarship committees.
Keith has been a part of the document systems business since 1974,
when he joined Xerox as a part of their effort to develop computer
driven laser printers. Before that, his career took him to Mattel,
Boise Cascade and the Dow Chemical Company. He has been following
computer technology since 1955, when he learned to program and operate
automatic card punch equipment at his university research institute.
He is a columnist for Print on Demand magazine and has written
extensively about information and management in business and technical
magazines including Document Processing Technology, Computerworld, and
Forbes. He was a founder and, for ten years, publisher of Xploration
Journal. He has spoken at dozens of conferences and meetings in more
than 20 countries.
He is an adjunct professor of printing management and science at the
Rochester Institute of Technology. He serves on the advisory board
for the Graphics Communications Department at California Polytechnic
University, San Luis Obispo. His doctorate in executive management is
from the Peter F. Drucker Center at the Claremont Graduate School.
