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 ...

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

HI The most stressful part of job interview is to get stuck in those questions which are generic in nature but nevertheless difficult to answer. Here is a few answers to those questions, that should help you. 01 Tell us about yourself? For a long time, I would go around talking about my place of birth, education and work experience etc etc. Then I  realised how silly it sounds. Interviewers want to know the candidates skillsets, strengths and achievements in the past and how these are related to the requirement of job. For example: “I am really passionate about my work. Whatever I do I do it with full of my dedication, determination and devotion. I am working in insurance sales for last two years and that has given me a lot confidence and taught me the importance of time management and goal setting. I have been consistently achieving my targets for the last 3 quarters. I also have organized and been part of various road shows and counseling activity for lead generation”. To read...

Hi Friends, I am sharing with the reviews of IBM on work culture, growth prospects salary, done by their employees. Please share your views. A Project Manager wrote: What I like about IBM: "IBM offers a very flexible working environment. In most cases, no one will ask you what time you come or go from office. Neither the logs of the swipe card will be analyzed to take some action against you in normal circumstances. In special circumstances, the company can even allow you to work from home. No blocking of internet or phones . All in all, you are "not" working in a jail. It has a wealth of knowledge..... " What I don't like about IBM: "Sometimes you feel that there are too many processes to follow. The company is so huge that it is a challenge to make people aware of existing processes. I have often seen it happening that sometimes small groups within IBM try to develop their own processes, often unaware that such a best practice already exists and can be leveraged. Ofcourses, Lou...

  This is an ‘untold story’ from Mahabharat, published in a Sanskrit Magazine, many years ago. My father used to read it out to me and translate into my mother tongue. It goes like this: Duryodhan is lying in the battle field, awaiting death, badly bruised by the wounds inflicted by Bhima. He kept his three fingers in a raised position and is unable to speak. All the efforts made by his men to understand the meaning proved to be futile. Seeing his plight Krishna approached him and said “I know what issues occupied your mind. I will address them”. He clarified that the issues are a)      not building a fort around his capital city, b)      not persuading Vidur to participate in the battle c)      not making Aswathama as commander-in-chief after the death of Dronacharya. Krishna explained further that (a) Assuming that you built a fort, I would have asked Nakul to mount the horse and destroy the fort, (b) If you succeeded in persuading Vidur to participate in the battle, I would have...
