A CIO and A CMO walk into a bar… …except…they aren’t in the same bar. They made plans to meet at Good Time Charlies on Monday. You know – the CMO and CIO are best friends now so its time to go have a few drinks together, right? They agree on a time and [...]

I’ve been reading a lot lately about the ‘love affair’ between Chief Information Officer’s and Chief Marketing Officer’s around the world. I think this is a good thing…as long as this is ‘true love’ and not just infatuation between two groups that are starting to have to work closer together to get things done. As [...]
Last night, I watched Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations show on the Travel Channel.

I’m starting to see more people talk about the real need for change within IT groups. The big analyst/consulting companies (Forester, Garnter, etc) are putting out a lot of ‘change’ blog posts and articles…see Khalid Kark’s The New CIO — Embrace The Empowered Era Or Step Aside or most of Mark McDonald‘s stuff on his Garnter blog [...]
I’ve been writing about The New CIO for a little over 2 years and I still see many of the same issues within IT shops and CIO offices that I saw in 2009. Thankfully, Forrester has now decided to write about the topic. Gosh..they are slow. In an article titled The New CIO — Embrace The [...]
