]]> Comment on Senior executives are finally waking up to next-generation leadership by Jon http://careerisover.com/2012/02/senior-executives-are-finally-waking-up-to-next-generation-leadership/#comment-1473 Jon Thu, 23 Feb 2012 10:26:59 +0000 http://careerisover.com/?p=270#comment-1473 I get the impression that more often than not the top managers and directors already consider themselves excellent leaders - convincing them otherwise so that they agree to go on a leadership development course is an uphill struggle. I worked for a while in IT testing, some of the managers were excellent, others were complete idiots who knew not how to manage staff expectations or the most basic project goals. Such is business!

At Intel IT, we say that the CIO (and rest of IT team), must think like the CEO (business leaders) - then use IT innovation to deliver business value.

]]> Comment on Fail to adopt 2020 vision and the cloud will kill the CIO by Editor http://careerisover.com/2011/11/fail-to-adopt-2020-vision-and-the-cloud-will-kill-the-cio/#comment-1404 Editor Sat, 03 Dec 2011 15:06:02 +0000 http://careerisover.com/?p=238#comment-1404 Thanks, Chris - interesting best practice advice. You're right that organisations can't afford to wait but I wonder whether most CIOs are being as direct as the approach you've taken at Intel? My belief is probably not, and that could be because some IT leaders are waiting - mistakenly - for the business to set the course to the cloud. Thanks, Chris – interesting best practice advice.

We developed our cloud computing strategy back in 2009, and selected to focus first on private cloud. We began acting in earnest in 2010 and are seeing dramatic results. With nearly 60% of our office/enterprise environment virtualized we have saved millions of dollars in costs and deployed IaaS automation that has reduced our time to provision infrastructure for new business services from 3 months to under 3 hours.
