The learning for you and your team with Generative AI is accelerated by four interactive practices with LLMs.

What worked in the past doesn’t always work well for you now. It’s not always the sacred cow that needs to be toppled; sometimes it’s your favorite pet.

Building takes time. It also takes buy-in. And buy-in requires knowing the crucial, not just the superficial.

Blended workforces are the new reality. Getting ahead of the wave requires meeting unique challenges with new priorities.

Generative AI is only exceptional if used exceptionally. Our normal approach to problem solving won’t move AI past average. For better results, keep AI weird.

Resistance to rollouts are common, and failure to overcome them is an agony of defeat in a class all by itself. The art of overcoming is anchored in three essentials often unknown or overlooked by CIOs and technology leaders.

We know the CIO role is changing. Do you have to wait and see what those changes are? Or is there a better way to transform yourself? Move over Darwin, we have some designing to do.

Large Language Models are just that - large. Like much of our work with others, LLMs require a bit of mentoring and coaching. To draw out the best it has to give, we have to train it to think like the rest of our team thinks.

Billions of dollars are being invested in generative AI. People see its power. They also feel the responsibility that comes with it. CIOs know that they can’t hold it back and they can’t rush it forward. Mostly, they can’t have their company ignore it. Let the investments others are making be a credible witness to your argumentation.

Effective technology leaders are driven by a certain obsession. Fail to be consumed by it, and the work you put out will be a box to check but hardly art you can’t wait to display.

The use of ChatGPT and generative AI has flooded companies with questions and concerns. CIOs are being asked for their perspective and for policies. How do you lead both reactively and proactively while encouraging calm and confident ways forward?

IT has been transforming business. Now it's time to transform itself. To do so, you have to get away from organizational thinking, and see IT as a living organism and recognize 8 areas of focus that will promote health and growth.

Leadership trends come and go. Riding them can be a great adventure. But leadership isn’t in the riding, it’s in the landing. Leaders know where to get off and take a stand.

Technology leaders are in an opportune moment to move business forward from transformation into innovation. But there is one critical mistake that will prove costly. Effective technology leaders know how to lead in-between movements and avoid outpacing others.

The answer to talent gaps, backlogs and shadow IT is Citizen Development. It’s not a fad, it’s a movement, and one you must lead and shape to resolve challenges you still face and will face more of in years ahead.

CIOs and CEOs need a cohesive strategy to counter the technology talent gap, backlog and shadow IT. Citizen Development is the framework that will get it done.

CIOs and their team must have creative moments to be productive. Too often, those creative opportunities are crowded out. Three key practices will restore and increase productivity.

Problems surround the CIO. Solving for the wrong problem wastes time, energy and money. Five shifts help the CIO determine real problems from presenting issues.

Stakeholders know the value of the CIO. The last thing they want is for their CIO to be led down a wrong path, distracted by the agenda of others, and misdirected by trends that lure them into waste.

Before telling the truth to others, tell it to yourself. An exercise in introspection will go a long way to turning hard-conversations into effective, watershed moments of change.

Transformation is not an overused word. If anything, it is underused. Leaders embrace it and keep it in front of everyone.

Data is the driver. Avoid these five pitfalls in order to stay on course: Style over substance, futile fighting, willful ignorance, chasing aberrations and lazy thinking.

Though small to mid-market companies often cannot afford the full-time services of a CIO, they are still faced with the responsibilities a CIO normally fulfills.

I’m all for networking. I have met incredible people doing so. I was also lonely. No matter how much networking I was doing, I still felt as if I was working in isolation. You can be surrounded by people, but unless you have others in your life who advocate for you, you feel very much alone.

In today’s changing environment, we not only must work differently, we must think differently. Design Thinking ensures that we are focused on the right problem and producing the right solution by thinking in the fields of Them, Us, and It.

You always have been more. Your love of what technology has longed for others to see its value. That day is here. But you must make some shifts, and you can’t wait to be invited to make them. You must demonstrate your value, or the thing you always knew technology could do will be entrusted to someone else.

Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
