1 Selling technology solutions to the larger audience
2 Art of persuation
Rohit Khanna  |  Added idea  "Selling technology solutions to the larger audience"  |  3 years ago
As it turns out IT managers and CIOs might be under the impression that they are dealing with the IT hardware and software and communicate the technology status to the stake holders. In reality, those stake holders are interested in understanding...
Rohit Khanna  |  Added idea  "Art of persuation"  |  3 years ago
I think CIOs also need to understand that the art of persuasion, unlike logical ability and awareness, is “downright irrational.” IT people often have no idea that what they are saying provokes anxiety in the people they’re trying to persuade. IT...

  I feel that the roles of CIO's in enabling Innovation is very important in today's world Three strategic levers provide the framework for CIOs to enable innovation today: Lead with—don’t resist—new collaboration tools and processes that promote innovation within the company and with trusted partners. Create a flexible, secure, and scalable IT architecture that continuously improves “time to capability” for the business. Position IT to provide measurable value (beyond efficiency) at all levels: productivity, experience, and growth. Some of the Important Moves a CIO should follow are as follows :- Change is your steady state. Lisa Metcalfe experienced an epiphany of sorts as she reflected o...

As the concerns over Information Technology increase for curbing and reducing  the threat of information leakages, new and innovative trends are going to happen, that will reform the security and integrity of whole IT platform. The trend will witness the increasing responsibility of the Chief Information Officers (CIO's), which will primarily be of two types; The first are change-agent CIOs, who will continually increase credibility and influence with CEO and line-of-business executives as a source of high-value perspective on the business, and the second are general manager CIOs, who will concentrate their efforts on boosting the efficiency and operational excellence of IT. As business is ...

Web-Based Apps: A Strategic View by Rodrigo Fontecilla and Steve Wardell On the whole, today s chief information officers (CIOs) in companies large and small are anything but enthusi astic when asked their opinion of the ubiquitous client/server networks they manage. The client computers, whether desktop or notebook, are costly to buy and maintain; given the pace of technological change, they also need to be re placed every two or three years. The servers and the networks themselves are cumbersome, very breakable, expensive, and difficult to control. Worst of all, the personal productivity applications loaded on ever more powerful clients so employees can actually get their work done a soft...

The concept of making a data center 'greener' by boosting efficiency isn't new for as long as centers have existed, it's been the nearly Sisyphean task for CIOs and managers to keep tweaking strategies until operations can be as streamlined as possible. Green IT is implemented to reduce costs, increase productivity, and improve building performance. Some important Steps to implement Green IT: IT managers can take a page from these companies and implement the same kinds of oversight on their own or their partners manufacturing processes. In addition, when developing RFPs (requests for proposal), IT managers should ask questions related to vendors manufacturing processes, such as whether the p...

Repeating its 2009 act, India represents itself strongly with three CIOs among the ten chosen from across the globe. InformationWeek has chosen 10 CIOs across the globe and India continues to shine with three CIOs from the country featuring on this list. Looking back at a year which has compelled IT to run on shoe string budgets in some cases, these CIOs have shown a flair for using technology to drive the business ahead despite cost constraints. With an approximate 33 percent representation for the country on the Global CIO list, it is clear that when it comes to IT skills, India is a name to reckon with. Meet the three Indian CIOs who have used the power of technology to scale their enter...

It used to be easy. Big companies stayed big, small companies struggled to succeed and business models were written in stone. But all that's changed. Today's business success story is old news by tomorrow's papers. Today's small player is just one good idea away from next season's big score. And business �turnarounds� that saved companies in the past require the kind of time, effort and expense that can easily undermine consumer loyalty and investor confidence. This isn't bad news. Greater change means greater opportunity. But to take advantage of it, you'll need to change your business model. In fact, you'll need to build change into your business model, to create an organization flexible ...

My  salutes to Mr Narayana Murthy and Mr Mashelkar! Today in Economic Times the brain storming article having same heading made me really excited and highly hopeful towards future of application of researches in science and technology in commercial field.As in my whole career I felt that its lagging too much in our country (except southern parts of India).Whatever researches are going on in big government institutes remain in journals and proceedings of seminars.Very few come up in application.While crores of rupees are spent every year by many funding sectors viz; UGC,CSIR,DBT and many more. Today after reading views of Mr Narayan Murthy and Mr Mashelkar I felt really supportive from their side as I have requested in many seminars and meetings about this innovation. Mr Narayan Murthy: What we really require is science,technology and innovation policy.Innovation is mind to market,concept to commercialisation.In the rest of the world you see that is happening. Mr Mashelkar: Human...

Memristor is latest entry in innovation which could possibly replace RAM in near future. It will make computers more intelligent by tracking data it has retained.It could allow computers to make decisions by understanding past patterns of data it has collected, similar to human brains collecting and understanding a series of events. For example, a memristor circuit could be capable of telling a microwave the heating time for different food types based on the information it has collected over time, said Stanley Williams, senior fellow at HP A memristor circuit requires lower voltage and less time to turn on than  competitive memory  like DRAM and flash, Williams said. "Because it uses less voltage and less time, of course, it uses much less power," Williams said. Denser cells also allow memristor circuits to store more data than flash memory. Through prototypes, HP is trying to show circuit designers what memristor is capable of doing. "What we have done is confirmed a concept for...

Hi Friends, Last month I had a meeting with one of my old friends, who is now VP–HR in a fairly large IT setup. He informed me that he is planning to lay off a couple of hundred people in his company, in a phased manner. What surprised me was that he mentioned that out of them around 80% are ‘difficult employees’.  I wondered aloud what was his definition of a ‘difficult employee’. What he told me was interesting and forms the basis of this post. “In every department/organization there are few people who are arrogant, demeaning (to others), insubordinate, not trustworthy, (always) cribbing and unproductive. And these employees are a huge drain for an organization in terms of wasted time, reduced productivity, inefficiency, and ultimately resulting in customer loss.” I again asked him as to why did the team, then not take precautions while hiring? He said these are traits and sometimes it is difficult to observe them during an interview. You get to know about them only from...

In many ways, a manager has to be a leader, so therefore a manager will have many of the traits that a leader does. However, I feel the term 'manager' applies primarily to business, it's in a manager's best interest to lead his co-workers effectively, encouraging them to achieve their goals and targets. In my experience, a leader is more of a social thing; more associated with team work, too. Go to Discussion http://lnkd.in/wUJe5E
