Recently completed an interesting video on the CIO role and software development with Jeppe Hedaa of 7N. We touch on a variety of aspects of the CIO job and how to achieve better productivity with your development teams.
If you would like to learn more about productivity, there is an excellent article on high performance teams published recently by Morten Pedersen. It outlines tools and techniques on how to both identify current team performance and improve team performance. Valuable advice for technology leaders who recognize the importance of productivity in the race to digitalize.
I continue to hear lots of corporate talk about public cloud and have now published my cloud post 🙂 and an updated version on InformationWeek. Let me know your thoughts on cloud!
Keeping up with digitalization and automation is key for technology and business leaders. Here's the latest on robots: First, the software kind where Deutsche Bank has announced 19,000 positions will be replaced by robots. Next, for the hardware kind, robots are coming to: pick strawberries .... play dodgeball ...be mules for the average US Army soldier... and to do a better job sorting recycling than humans (thank goodness)!
Again, availability issues are back in the news...for repeat offender TSB, who had a disastrous outage last year, once again causing significant impact to their customers. For those leaders with availability or service issues, please leverage the best practices here on how to reduce such issues dramatically.
How is digitalization progressing at your place? Real successes? Slower than you would like? Critical potholes to avoid? Feel free to comment to share your thoughts!
Best, Jim
