  • Business Continuity Planning? In a Pigs Eye!

    Did the H1N1 virus really make the leap to humans? Or are we just becoming more like swine?

  • Another One Bites the Dust

    The merger between Sun and Oracle is a pretty good fit as far as technology goes. But culturally? Not so much. . .

  • Command Posture

    Smart CIOs are viewing the global financial crisis as an opportunity to get their IT shops in order and gather the best team possible.

  • Ciao, CIO

    Whew. Deep breath. Looking at this blank page I just realized that the next 500 or so words I write will be my last ones for this magazine because I’m moving on

  • You Could've Been in Pictures

    Once again I find myself on the road, this time with an itinerary that started with the long haul from Sydney to Finland by way of Singapore and Frankfurt - all of which translated to some 36 hours of time spent in the air and airport lounges

    Not Far Enough from the Madding Crowd

    About a year ago our company decided to explore going green

  • The Confidence Game

    Psst. Hey you. Yes, you. Over here. How about sending me a heap of personal information?

  • A Tale of Two Call Centres

    Happy belated 2008. Holidays are over. School's back. Traffic sucks. The weeks off were not only welcome but refreshing, although I must admit there was the odd day or two that saw my "peace on earth, good will to men" disposition - well, shall we say - lacking

  • That Was the Year That Wasn't

    Since early October I've fielded at least a couple of calls a week from various PR people asking if I plan to do a year in review feature in my last issue of 2007

  • FUD 2.0

    Last week I fired my entire staff. Why? Because - all evidence aside - they are obviously a bunch of slackers. I know it's true - even if my own eyes tell me otherwise - because there's research to prove it. An excess of research, in fact

  • Woe the Mid-Market CIO?

    I have a suspicion that life's not exactly a holiday on Primrose Lane for a fair few mid-market CIOs these days

  • King Coles

    If CIO magazine named a "Person of the Year" in the tradition of Time magazine I had my dead-cert 2007 winner picked in early June. And you'd probably be surprised that he's not a CIO

  • The State of the CIO Is Just Fine, Thank You

    So do you want the good news, the not-so-good news or the bad news first? Okay, I'll decide for you - let's kick off with the good news, which is plentiful. More of you are reporting to the CEO than in any previous year

  • All Manner of Truth

    This month's column comes to you courtesy of a rather liquid dinner party a couple of weeks ago at Chez K.

  • Re: Alignment

    On September 7, 1974 my second son was born. I'd wanted two children, so that particular project had been brought in on time and on budget.

  • Whither Thou Goest

    Happy 2007 — here's hoping it will be a very good year for all of us. If nothing else, it will certainly be a notable year for CIO: locally we'll mark our 10-year anniversary and the US mother ship will observe a score.

  • St Elmo's Fire

    Or how I was not tickled pink this holiday season.

  • Wires Crossed?

    If projects today are largely labelled business projects, and not IT projects, then it's time the business starts taking it on the chin when it can't get IT right

  • Reality Check

    Everyone's entitled to their opinion (well, unless you're a liberal of the US ilk being interviewed on Fox News).

  • What's the Problem?

    I'm at risk of turning into a one-trick pony here
