CxO
With the goal of one day becoming a CIO, Steve LeMoine took a pay cut for a job that provided the global leadership experience he would need to compete. It worked.
Steve LeMoine: I am the CIO at Welch's based out of Concord, Massachusetts. I've been here for about one year. Welch's is a 150-year-old company, and it has primarily been a grape-based manufacturing company for all those years....?more
Letting go of vital tasks can be challenging. But CIOs can free themselves up to tackle higher-level issues and build stronger teams by viewing delegation as a key leadership skill to develop.
For some leaders, delegating is difficult. There's a voice in your head that says, 'I'll do it myself. It will be faster. It will be right.' That voice helped you get into your current role. But it will be, eventually, your undoing...?more
Shifting your business to a digital model can be hard. But even if things do go wrong, there are a number of ways you can get your project back on course.
If done properly, digital transformation can change the way a business operates fundamentally, bringing significant financial and operational gains. But shifting from traditional ways of working to new, technology-driven processes is a large undertaking, leaving room for things to go wrong: spending too much money, taking on more than you can handle and having a gap between innovation and execution are all common things that can go awry. ...?more

Replacing passwords is not as easy as people think, but there is hope.
Although analysts have predicted the death of passwords for many years, passwords are still the predominant authentication credential used for many applications and IT systems. The reason for this is simple - everyone knows how passwords work, which makes them more convenient to use. ...?more
Organizations need to start laying the groundwork to reap the benefits of the forthcoming PCI DSS v4.0 specification. Creating a team to focus on the upgrade is one good step.
In the first quarter of 2024, PCI DSS v4.0 will go into effect, supplanting the current v3.2.1 PCI standard that has governed credit card transaction security since 2018 ...?more
As we know that modern organizations are moving away from traditional on-premises software and accompanying infrastructure in favor of software as a service offering.
According to AMR's most recent analysis, the Software as a Service (SAAS) market will generate $702.19 billion by 2030 (Report from Allied Market Research).

HR
Most U.S. employees who received training from their employers said they were satisfied with that training, but 55% said they will need additional training to perform better in their current roles
Though much has been made about a disconnect between employees and employers over learning and development, the events of the last two years may have brought the two groups closer together. Even in 2021, surveys of workers indicated that many would be more interested in staying with employers that offered skill-building opportunities. ...?more
What technology and tools should companies be leveraging to be truly competitive in the battle for talent?
The volatility of today's job market has become synonymous with phrases like 'The Great Reshuffle,' 'The Great Resignation,' and 'The Big Quit' -- and for good reason.

We've all seen the data from the latest Verizon Data Breach Incident Report that shows half of security breaches stem from credential abuse.
It's clear that credential compromise is an epidemic in cybersecurity and can be largely avoided with multifactor authentication and least-privilege policies. Misused credentials have shot up by almost 30% over the last five years, according to Verizon ...?more
GitLab released the results of its annual DevSecOps survey which highlights the continued prioritization of security and compliance, investment in toolchain consolidation, and the ongoing impacts of rapid DevOps adoption.
The survey consisted of 5,001 respondents, including developers, operations and security practitioners and organizational leaders.

It's funny how we in IT tend to be absolutists, shoving everything into the current bucket. XML was going to eliminate programming-even though it wasn't even particularly good at data representation.
NoCode was going to eliminate programming (yeah, that's a theme, I'll skip the other 50 or so 'going to end programming' cycles we've been through), AI will eliminate IT, you must have a mobile app, even if no one will ever use it, my OS/browser/language is better than yours and will win-you get the idea ...?more

The usual tactics for sales have been worn down by generations of salespersons.
Today, approaching potential customers requires more than facts and figures - marketers need to be selling not just the product but a story, a dream. The idea that needs to be sold is almost an alternative reality - where the customers find themselves free of their problems, turning into better people (or better companies). ...?more

Oracle Red Bull Racing is building a successful 2022 season on the heels of a 2021 Drivers Championship and second-place finish in the Team Constructors Championship
One would think the success of these two seasons are linked, but in fact the RB18 car on track this year is an entirely new car with very few similarities to the 2021 RB16B. Not a single part of the 2022 car was carried over from the championship winning car from 2021. Even more compelling is that the race team had to continue building and adjusting the championship winning car late into 2021 while they were simultaneously concepting and building the 2022 car. ...?more
These are the key philosophies behind zero trust approaches to cybersecurity.
