First off, let me make myself clear. I firmly believe that Cloud Computing, in its various forms, is real, absolutely inevitable and will completely revolutionize the form and role of the IT Organization. Some readers will look at that sentence and laugh – it’s like saying “day will pass into night.” Obvious, beyond dispute, devoid [...]

It’s always been tough being an IT leader. The “Career Is Over” distortion of the CIO acronym is humorous because of the real world challenges associated with the CIO job. I think that today is an especially challenging time for IT leaders. I say that because these jobs are typically caught somewhere between two very [...]

I had a very interesting and exciting week! I was a speaker at an nGenera Senior Executive Summit, which drew about 60 top executives from mostly large companies – CEO’s, CIO’s, CFO’s, HR and shared service heads, and even a couple of Lawyers and Platform/Brand managers. It was an auspicious group – both in terms [...]

In the first part of this series I examined the case for, and some of the key aspects of Design Thinking. In Part 2 of this series, I distinguished between “Core” and “Edge” Capabilities and made the point that Design Thinking typically is heavy on Edge capabilities, whereas most businesses, and certainly, most corporate [...]

First, in the interests of full disclosure, the title for this blog was inspired the excellent blog, Wierarchy, and its latest post on Exploring the HR Management Framework for Enterprise 2.0.

I was perusing the September 15 issue of CIO Magazine (ok, I’d been on vacation for nearly 4 weeks, and was catching up on my massive reading pile!) when I noticed the chart recreated to the left.

I’ve been posting on and off about Cloud Computing since I began this blog a couple of years ago. But, as one who spends most of his time with IT leaders of large global enterprises, sometimes the promise of the Cloud seems more like a mirage! I’ve Looked At Clouds From Both Sides Now Back [...]
