Blog: Project Management Nightmare -- Records from the Bush Administration 16 May, 2008 14:26:55

A mismatch between an organisation's IT-related business culture on the one hand, and the maturity level of its strategy for IT on the other, is likely to result in more pain than gain.Blog: Internal EDS Memo on HP Buy: Rittenmeyer Remains 14 May, 2008 15:17:01

The old way of doing PR is broken. Social media might, might glue some of the parts back on.Blog: The Thing That Will Make Facebook Important to the Enterprise: More Business Widgets 12 May, 2008 14:49:35
Just like traditional enterprise software will be phased out because it ignores innovations in the consumer space and the realities of how people actually work, Facebook won't be nearly as important or valuable as people think unless companies develop more business-oriented widgets that can run atop the fastest growing social network.Study: Girls find few female role models in IT field 12 May, 2008 08:03:04
The number of boys who say they've thought about pursuing technology careers is nearly double the number of girlsThough technology becomes more pervasive in the lives of young people each day, technology jobs aren't high on the lists of what they want to do when they grow up. Consider the 90 per cent of girls between the ages of 11 and 16 who think computers and cutting edge gadgets are cool, according to a recent survey of 1,000 UK adolescents: Only 28 per cent of those girls are considering careers in the technology industry.Blog: The Clock's Ticking, Dude 09 May, 2008 12:25:54

While RSS feed readers, bookmarking services, and portals like iGoogle pages are helpful, we all need something better or we'll become overwhelmed.Blog: Just Forget About Yahoo, Microsoft, and Go After SAP 09 May, 2008 15:07:42
Microsoft spent three months officially wooing Yahoo and ended up with nothing but a big, fat rejection for all its overtures, financial enticements and grand plans. In fact, one news account of the saga termed the negotiation process between Yahoo and Microsoft, when there actually were talks between the two, as "bizarre."Blog: It's Your Bug. But It's Not Your Job Anymore. 09 May, 2008 15:01:42

I see stories of an impending business brain drain as the Boomers retire. But what will really be lost? There probably isn't a lot of technical information that will be lost as Boomers retire because much of the hardware and software they know about is being replaced over the next ten years anyway. And systems they built that do continue on have been in production for many years so they'll run just fine for many more years (computer code does not wear out; computer code does not rust).

2008 CIO Summit
19th August, 2008 Four Seasons Hotel, Sydney Developed in partnership with CIO Magazine, IDC, INTEP and the CIO Executive Council.
The world of the CIO is extremely complex and diverse. Multiple priorities demand attention and decisions are needed instantly. Individual teams need to be driven towards common goals, and businesses strive to become more mobile, agile and responsive. For CIOs, the challenge never ends.
Every year the CIO Summit identifies what is top of mind for CIOs across Australia and New Zealand, and offers insight for CIO benchmarking and vendor strategic planning alike.
Recent IDC research shows that over 59% of CIO's believe that 'to achieve their business strategies, technology should be used more aggressively than today.'
Join us on August 19th to discover how this is possible with the latest technologies including Virtualisation, Web 2.0, IP Surveillance and Software as a Service (Saas).
Please email Denyse_Robertson@idg.com.au for further information.
