October 15, 2010
Thumbnail image for Does Your Business Have a Decision Making Model?

Larry Dignan (@ldignan), ZDNets Editor in Chief, recently referenced a post written by my friend Vinnie Mirchandani at Deal Architect.  In it, Vinnie makes several interesting assertions about the effectiveness of analytics in the enterprise.  For example, he thinks that many companies can’t or don’t want to deal with the truth in the data because they won’t like the answers. I’ve been thinking a lot about analytics and its role in business decision making while ...

As we head into the weekend, maybe you will be sitting down with a coffee tomorrow morning with your iPad, wondering what to do with it beyond read email and looking at a few websites.  I thought I would share a few ideas for how you can get more out of it, especially focusing on iPad apps that a CIO or IT leader would appreciate. Most people I’ve talked to and commentary I’ve read highlights ...

September 24, 2010
Thumbnail image for CIO’s Explore Twitter for Business – Webinar Recap

The CIOs of Sony Pictures and Clorox weren’t sold on Twitter at first, as they explained during the webcast yesterday, “CIOs Reveal Why They Tweet”. Ralph Loura, the CIO of Clorox, made a promise to himself that he would stick with it for a month to see what he got out of it. David Buckholtz, Divisional CIO for Sony Pictures, had established hundreds of LinkedIn connections before sending one tweet. It was using the Twitter ...

5 Things I’ve Learned About Twitter

June 1, 2010
How to Communicate Your Ideas by kevindooley

I started the CIO Twitter Dashboard a year ago today as an experiment to see what IT leaders were doing and saying with Twitter. Since then, it has grown to about 200 strong.  While there are many more IT leaders and experts using Twitter, I have kept this list focused on CIOs or those who are the senior most IT leaders in their organization – please let me know who I’ve missed and I will ...

CIO Guide to Social Media

May 3, 2010
Thumbnail image for CIO Guide to Social Media

Social media’s impact on the enterprise is still unclear.  For every compelling story about Dell or Starbucks there are stories about wasted time and security concerns.  What is clear is that the new ways of socializing electronically are here to stay – until a newer, cooler, more exciting once comes along to take its place (MySpace anyone?). It is also unclear who in the enterprise will emerge as the champion for social media.  Maybe it ...

Are IT Leaders Also Social Media Leaders?

April 28, 2010
Lattice by Tom Huffman (via Flikr)

“Why can’t we offer our app on the iPhone?” is a question heard more and more in the executive suite.  It’s a great example of consumer demand (or at least perceived demand) for information technology outpacing the capabilities of our enterprises.  I wonder if we are seeing the same thing in social media or if enterprises have done enough research to determine that various social channels are or are not a good fit? To get ...

Top 5 CIO Tweets of the Week – September 11, 2009

September 11, 2009

The travel doesn’t seem to quit as I hit London this week and will be back next week too.  Here are some of the great CIO and IT leadership tweets of the week that I’ve been able to collect while in the Admirals Club. [tweetlist:3785207801] 1.  I haven’t heard much from the 1-to-1 marketing guru Don Peppers lately but stumbled on this post.  I like it because it’s not coming from an IT leader, but ...

Top 5 CIO Tweets of the Week – August 21, 2009

August 21, 2009

I’m posting this weeks Top 5 list from Beijing as I get ready for the CTO Forum Conference.  Sorry if my writing seems a bit jet-lagged and for the low volume (read: none) of Tweets.  China still seems a bit put off by Twitter. [tweetlist:3388084576] [tweetlist:3392741191] 1-2. The first post set of a series of conversations about the differences between a list of IT thought leaders on Twitter and a list of CIOs on Twitter ...

Top 5 CIO Tweets of the Week – August 14, 2009

August 14, 2009

This week’s #CIO tweets were overshadowed by John C. Dvorak’s assertion that our nation’s CIO, Vivek Kundra, is a fraud – at least his resume might be. You will need to make up you own mind on that one. [tweetlist:3266652940] 1.  I have been a PC Magazine reader for years, but never got into reading John C. Dvorak’s rants.  Never could really understand half of what he was saying.  His Tweet Wednesday grabbed my attention ...

Professional Identity Online – Are You a Dog?

August 12, 2009

Peter Steiner published his infamous “On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog” cartoon in 1993.  This mental image for me was just a joke – until recently.  For the most part, you know the people who email you, link up with on Facebook or LinkedIn.  Those you don’t recognize, you just write off as spam or a mistake. Today, Twitter is buzzing with an expose penned by John C. Dvorak, of PC Mag editorial ...
