I was recently struck by a rather salty post. The author pointed out some rather painful statistics we don’t report often that showcase how absolutely dysfunctional most companies are. For instance, according to surveys, 95 percent of employees have no idea what their corporate strategy is, and 95 percent of companies report that they constantly […]

Microsoft just announced a brand-new version of the Surface Pro. One of the fascinating things about the concept of the tablet is that, between Apple and Microsoft, Microsoft came up with the idea first and Steve Jobs first called it out as stupid, and then made a far more popular tablet. With this latest version […]

Over the years, I’ve watched a lot of companies go from success to failure because they allowed Finance or the Legal department to have excessive control over the business. These organizations do provide very valuable advice, but often the executives learn that while there is risk in approving an action, there is no risk in […]

We seem to have a lot of problems with corporate governance at the moment, ranging from the lack of experience at the top of the country to revolving disasters at firms like Uber and Yahoo, all showcasing a fundamental lack of experience or maturity or both. It has fascinated me that even after we saw […]

This is a week of shows with Dell EMC World, Microsoft Build, and NVIDIA GTC all in the same week. Thank heavens for pre-briefing and streaming, otherwise I’d need to clone myself as each of these shows has must-see elements. One of the most interesting is NVIDIA’s GTC because it is the most focused, primarily […]

This is the first truly combined event between Dell and EMC since the merger and one thing hits you right off. A ton of people are at this thing. This is scary rock concert big and you get a sense of scale that, currently, no other firm can match. Dell reaches from gaming PCs to […]

It’s fascinating that as the car companies become technology companies and turn cars into rolling, increasingly intelligent computers, they are making many of the same mistakes that wiped out companies like Sun and DEC and crippled firms like HP and IBM. I find this annoying because I believe executives who are paid millions should spend […]

There has been an ongoing battle, certainly more pronounced in prior years, between the idea of a “personal computer” and whether that same piece of hardware really should be controlled by IT. One of the reasons that we’ve had the spread of viruses, the unreliability we’ve gotten used to, and much of the support problem […]

I think our approach and response to sexual harassment and abuse is all wrong. The efforts tend to be focused on punishment rather than training and early mitigation, and we all know those in power can generally dodge most intermediate punishment steps. The result of this type of practice at Fox News, for example, was […]

A number of companies conduct surveys to determine how badly folks are doing in key areas related to their offerings. For Varonis, which specializes in managing data controls and access, the survey has to do with, yes, data control and access. Its latest survey released this week, the 2017 Varonis Data Risk Report, showcases that […]

The short answer to my title is no, NVIDIA’s GTC isn’t about to disappear. NVIDIA is currently one of the technology industry’s darlings, as it has been firing on all cylinders of late, largely because its executive team, led by founder Jen-Hsun Huang, rightly anticipated AI, deep learning and autonomous driving. This allowed the firm […]

Intel just killed one of the biggest trade shows in tech, and I think this could be the beginning of a trend. The idea of trade shows predates the internet and, over time, has become something of an ironic tech industry anachronism. It is ironic because the technology that companies like Intel have pioneered, like […]
