Does it feel like the CIO is going to be next on the endangered species list? In this video, I discuss some key strategies and tactics that we need to employ in IT in order to survive. Drawing comparisons to the characteristics of extinct and at-risk species, I talk about the five things that we need to focus on to not only help CIOs adapt and survive in an age of turmoil and rapid change, but also provide key takeaways to help them evolve into a stronger, more resilient and critical driver for business transformation in the future. This video is the first of a new online video speaker series called Luminaries Live! This series will be kicked off at CA World 2013.

I'm very proud to announce that CA Technologies is a signatory of the BICEP Climate Declaration, launched today in Washington, DC.

CA Technologies Business Service Reliability Series

Part 2 - Next Generation IT Operations... The Gamer NOC Shifting the traditional view For a long time in my previous life, I felt that there were aspects of any organization that would remain consistent. For example, in the 1990's, while managing the systems for a global call center organization of more than 4,000 agents at 80 locations, I could not have imagined the idea of demolishing our brick and mortar building(s) in favor of telecommuting call center agents. However, the tsunami of contact centers that are now fully staffed by resources that have never been in a corporate cubicle is astonishing. This evolution is now becoming apparent in other traditional functions. Over the past few years at several organizations I was involved with...

I have been closely following the active discussion that has been taking place concerning Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's decision to call all her home-bound workers back to the office. From numerous blog posts to tweets from Sir Richard Branson (@RichardBranson) to the recent insightful op-ed piece by Jennifer Glass in the New York Times, it seems like everyone has a strong opinion about her new policy. Now, other companies such as Best Buy are also re-considering their telecommuting policies. Let me state my personal bias up front: I have been working exclusively from home for almost 14 years, with four different technology companies. Starting out of necessity as Compaq began closing many of their New England offices, continuing through HP's...
