    The evolution of the network engineer 03 July, 2009 03:11:00

    As new technologies emerge, there's plenty of network engineering--and architecting, design and implementation--left to do. The trick lies in understanding the distinctions between technologies that have become commodities (and can therefore be outsourced) and those that are emerging as strategic differentiators.
    IT is undergoing one of the most significant transformations in recent memory -- yet most IT practitioners (including telecom managers) are only dimly aware of what's happening.

    5 ways to make your company Gen Y-friendly 27 June, 2008 09:54:33

    IT professionals who are members of Generation Y expect a lot from their employers, but they also expect a lot of themselves and enter the workforce eager to make contributions and prove their value
    Facing a potential onslaught of baby boomer retirements and a smaller pool of Generation X employees to replace them, IT managers who want to create or sustain a Best Place to Work environment will need the additional help of another group of professionals: Generation Y. Also known as Millennials, this group consists of nearly 80 million individuals born roughly between 1979 and 1999. They are the workforce of the future.

    The Manhattan Effect 06 March, 2007 12:27:27

    The excellence of any business depends on the willingness of its customers and employees to provide direct and honest feedback. But are you and your managers ready to listen?
    I've been lucky enough to live, work and hang out in both Manhattans - as in New York and Kansas - which makes me kind of an expert on how you can tell the difference between the two.

    Serenity Found 03 February, 2006 13:33:32

    Here's how to inoculate yourself against stress and burnout (once you understand the difference)
    We all know that CIO stands for "Career Is Over". The wag who coined that acronym was undoubtedly referring to the burnout factor that comes with the job and the consequent short tenure of the average CIO

    Recruiters Advice 30 January, 2006 16:20:05

    Going through the recruiting process with a search firm is an art and skill. One gets better with practice and one never forgets - it is like riding a bicycle.
    With a new year recently begun, it is time for all of us to reassess the past year with an eye to having 2006 be better. Some of you will determine that it may be time to change positions. Others may not, but January always proves to be one of the months executives are most likely to receive calls from search firms.

    A Team Starts with Two 08 June, 2005 14:50:32

    If leaders benefit by developing others, and developing others requires insights into what motivates them, then why don't more executives take the time to understand individuals' interests and link them to the enterprise's interests?
    The best way to develop employees is one-on-one coaching, yet too few executives seem interested in making the effort.

    They Don't Care Too Much for Money 06 October, 2004 10:14:56

    IT for the foreseeable future will probably remain under a budget crunch. So CIOs need to become more creative in terms of finding ways to motivate their employees.
    Once again, it behoves CIOs to reward their star performers. But how will they do it? Cutting bonus cheques would be the wrong answer.

    The Metrics Trap 07 April, 2004 13:54:02

    In recent years, how have most IT organizations measured - and rewarded - programmer productivity? LOCs - lines of code - per unit time. And then we're surprised that we end up with bloated, inefficient and poorly documented systems? Who are we kidding?
    Too many CIOs judge implementations by measuring the technical capacity of a project, instead of considering how it has improved their companies' business.

    Seven Firefox Plug-ins That Improve Online Privacy 18 March, 2010 06:18:00

    It does help the more nerdy among us ascertain what's going on under the hood of a website
    As strange as it might sound, there are times when I wish for the old days of the Internet circa the early 1990's. The days of Mosaic and Lynx, where there was no Flash, no Javascript and no Java. A simpler time where protecting your privacy and security wasn't as essential as it is today.
