When it comes to software industry innovation, what does the CIO of one of the world's best-known brands -- Disney -- look for? Well, a meaningful brand.

"In the rest of the world, brands really have meaning and stand for something, and you know what you are going to get when you buy that brand," says Tony Scott, CIO of The Walt Disney Company. "I think in the software industry, we're still establishing a lot of that and there's probably a lot more room to grow."
