CIOs: How to Get Your Teams to the Next Level I’ve been following the effort to diversify hiring in the tech industry for a long time because I did a lot of my undergraduate and graduate work in Manpower Management. At that time, we used a statistics-based approach to match people with the jobs they […]

Today’s Multitasking Addiction Is Killing Productivity Dell has a long-term diversity program that has always impressed me. The company recently partnered with Intel, Jet Blue and Marie Claire on a unique event that embraced the women-only theme. The “Power Trip,” as the effort was called, brought together female executives and entrepreneurs from a wide variety […]

Go Digital or Die? How to Build a Bimodal Digital Future I’m really struck, as I wrote earlier this week, at how different, and I mean night and day different, the Dell/EMC merger is from the HP/Compaq merger. If I had a stronger term than night and day, I’d use it. So let me walk […]

5 Conversations IT Needs to Have with C-Level Peers The EMC World Keynote had a sort of sad start this year. Joe Tucci, EMC’s near legendary CEO, stood up and basically said goodbye.

This effort comes from a […]

The 5 Essential Traits of Digital Innovators It has been interesting to watch Dell and HP compete, with each going down nearly opposite paths. Dell has been doubling down on PCs for the last several years and its big move was going private to eliminate distractions and better focus on customers. HP has been a […]

5 Conversations IT Needs to Have with C-Level Peers A second show was held last week concurrently with NVIDIA’s GTC and ECS shows: the OpenPOWER Foundation’s Summit 2016.  What makes this event interesting is that it showcases IBM’s move against Intel’s dominance using open source methods and a social community approach to next-generation server processor […]

Reimagining Business and Tech in the Digital Age I’m still going over my notes from the NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference (GTC) last week, and one of the things that really struck me was that virtual reality (VR) for business was far closer to being ready for the market than VR for the home. It comes […]

6 Devices Poised to Disrupt Your Network in 2016 NVIDIA’s Emerging Companies Summit (ECS) is a fascinating event and process.
