Without a doubt, 2020 changed everything. I like to compare it to a science fiction movie where time travel is involved. Clearly, we have all ended up permanently on a different space/time continuum. We will go forward differently. For IT organizations, which do deserve the credit for keeping things running, many things have changed or […]

Several years ago, the idea of hacking a cell phone was considered such a non-possibility that “60 Minutes” even did a piece on the topic. But as cell phones have become hand-sized computers, smart thieves have figured out how to hack them. This has become a huge problem not only for all of us, including […]

No CIO that I know would have asked for the mass experiment in work from home created by Covid-19. And while many tell me they are looking forward to work reentry, most believe work has been changed forever. For this reason, the next #CIOChat Live 3.0 will be focused upon work reentry. The question is: […]

I have been honestly surprised to hear CIOs thoughts regarding how tech vendors market and sell. After all, back in 2011, Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson proclaimed the Challenger Sale Era. This era meant the end of product sales and the beginning of solution selling. Clearly, this change is still being absorbed by those of […]

In my discussions with CIOs about the future of work and digital transformation, one technology has repeatedly come up: low code development. Given this, it was more than time to dig into the CIO’s point of view on low code development. Why is it so important? And what holes need fixing to propel it forward […]

There have been many attempts to label the process of making data ready for business use. Historically, organizations considered this task to be data management. A few years ago, Tom Davenport defined the concepts of data defense and data offense, where defense was about data security, data privacy, data integrity, data quality, data compliance, and […]

In my discussions with CIOs over the years about investment, they have always stressed that cost cutting should be done for a business reason. However, what about cost cutting to make way for an increase in business investment? CIOs showed recently that they have strong feelings about this topic. In general, they feel that cost […]

There are lots of questions for CIOs to consider as they enter 2021, including the impact of a new administration in the United States and the impacts of the COVID 19 vaccine release. These will have clear impact upon both business and IT planning. And these considerations naturally lead to questions. Is this a moment […]

The term data lake has been with us for many years. It’s origin is attributed to James Dixon who coined the term while writing, “If you think of a data mart as a store of bottled water – cleansed, packaged, and structured for easy consumption – the data lake is a large body of water […]

Over the last several months, I have been asking CIOs about the technology topics they wanted to explore in greater detail. One topic that scored high on most CIOs list was Chatbots and RPA. The resulting discussion should be of interest to technology leaders of all stripes because it represents innovation that can take place […]
