This last week, I saw presentations from AGL (Automotive Grade Linux) and Microsoft in their battle for the connected car. It reminded me a lot of the early days of the PC: lots of platforms from very different kinds of companies, but only one clear leader. Ironically, that leader is BlackBerry, largely because QNX is […]

One of the biggest issues I have with business and political leaders is that, increasingly, they think tactically and seemingly do stupid things. This week’s antitrust filing by the FTC against Qualcomm not only looks like the poster child for this type of action, it could become my greatest example in 2017 (though frankly I […]

How to Create a Culture of Innovation If I have seen one thing that we should all have a handle on but that is either poorly taught or avoided, it is ethics in business and politics. I’ve referred to this as the difference between right and right, or being able to tell the difference between […]

9 Successful Digital Disruption Examples One of the most interesting products that never made it to market in the 1990s was the modular computer. And it really tried. The idea was a good one: Create a core computing module that could be surrounded with different cases and accessories so it could be customized for any […]

How to Create a Culture of Innovation Two of the breakout products at CES were the Dell XPS 27 and the Dell Canvas which, in concert, form a far more advanced solution for creators than the Apple iMac, which has formed the core of the industry standard for years. How Dell got this done was […]

8 Uses of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality for the Enterprise I’m at CES 2017 this week, and the best product I’ve seen so far is from a company that specializes in optical solutions for business. When I was briefed on this product last month, I was a tad skeptical because I’ve already seen a […]

Navigating Your Way Through an IT Road Map This week between Christmas and the New Year is a good time to look back on the year that was, and it was one hell of a year. We saw a lot of interesting products and events. We saw the accomplishment of the near-impossible task of taking […]

We all have “honey-do” lists for the holiday season […]

How to Transform into an Insight-Driven Enterprise Last week’s tech meeting with Donald Trump was an impressive piece of work.  Not only did Trump not dress down the tech leaders, which I thought he was going to do, the focus remained on what technology CEOs wanted from the new administration. This was exactly right and […]

Navigating Your Way Through an IT Road Map A wide, though rarely spoken of, position in the tech industry says that customer satisfaction scores are BS. We’ve known for some time that they simply have become binary and reflect whether the customer is upset with you at the moment. There is no lasting meaning and […]

5 Tips to Successfully Plan for IT Modernization One rule in the technology industry is often forgotten: If you have a team of superstars, it will likely be dysfunctional and fail spectacularly.
