VP David Johnson Named “AI Innovator” and North Highland’s NH360 Platform Honored for “Excellence in Technology Application”

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--North Highland, the leading change and transformation consultancy, received recognition in two categories of ALM Consulting Magazine’s 2024 Leaders in Technology awards. These awards honor firms and individuals who not only set the standard but advance frontiers in the application of technology toward business success. North Highland’s recognitions include:

  • Vice President David Johnson – honored as “AI Innovator”
  • North Highland’s Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) platform, NH360 – honored for “Excellence in Technology Application”

Johnson was honored for his leadership as an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Innovator.

Now, Johnson serves as a thought-leader and navigator, driving the firm’s goal to embed AI into its Ways of Working (WoW).

“This award demonstrates that my dedication to uplifting and informing others through digital transformation initiatives is making a difference,” said Johnson. “Knowledge-sharing and teaching to learn matters. The greatest honor is knowing my continuous pursuit of progress through learning has both educated and inspired others.”

Additionally, North Highland’s Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) platform, NH360, was honored for its Excellence in Technology Application. Recognized by Gartner and Forrester, NH360 combines comprehensive strategy execution with business and enterprise architecture best practices, enabling clients to generate a dynamic blueprint of their entire business so they can continuously align and coordinate all investments with a strategy to maximize results.
