Show notes

Every day, those of us who depend on public transit expect it to get us where we're going inexpensively, safely, and with the reliability and consistency of a utility. How has mass transit changed from the past? How is IT transforming public transit now and for the future with regards to offering real time statuses on arrivals/departures, connecting with riders via social media, offering information over the Internet, et al? What innovations are being contemplated or deployed to improve today's commuter experience? What could our transit systems learn from global transit solutions?

Can a CIO Use Social Media to Deliver Better IT? Nov 23, 2011

Show notes

Almost everyone is tuned into social media in their personal lives, so it's no surprise social media is making inroads into the business world as well. While businesses are using SM to connect with new customers externally, could IT use SM for better communication with its own business customers within the enterprise, and to better align IT with the business? What is being tried, and what is working? What isn't working?

How to Enable Secure Cloud Computing Nov 16, 2011

Show notes

Three security issues loom large over the future of Cloud Computing: Will corporate IT security policies still apply to the applications and services delivered via the cloud? How will a CIO prove to management and clients that the company's applications and services are as secure as before the cloud and meeting all SLAs? Will security be robust enough to pass any compliance audits required? Only when each of these 3 concerns can be answered with a resounding "YES!", will cloud computing be finally considered secure. Meanwhile, what will IT leaders and vendors have to consider, change, revamp, or manage differently in order to achieve this end goal?

Where are You On The Cloud Maturity Model? Nov 09, 2011

Show notes

Cloud Computing has been around long enough for us to have ironed out most of the kinks and is quickly becoming part of our enterprise computing DNA. But does that mean most of us have aced the Cloud Computing paradigm or that we use the mature technology to its best advantage? If we fail at using it properly, then where are we and what do we need to do to get to the next level? Is there a clearly defined ONE cloud maturity model we can follow, that has established benchmarks?

What's It Take to Boost Energy for Peak IT Leadership Performance? Nov 02, 2011

Show notes

There's lots of talk about IT leadership skills, but the personal energy capacity a leader needs to do it all is equally important. Even a champion marathon runner takes breaks. How can an IT leader, under the gun 24/7, maintain his/her "energy" at peak performance level? Where does he/she find the personal reserves to successfully handle stress and promote the maximum productivity of those around him/her as a successful IT leader should? What strategies can he/she use to boost energy levels and avoid becoming so exhausted as to be disorganized, burnt out, or simply inattentive?

How to Drive Effective Fraud Prevention and Detection Oct 26, 2011

Show notes

Payment card and check fraud was #1 & 2, phishing/vishing #3, and ACH/wire fraud #4. Financial Services, Retailers, Government & Law Enforcement IT, as well as Healthcare IT and eCommerce all face these threats. However, security efforts are often focused on the traditional types of fraud that concern regulators while the newer digital threats often get less attention than they merit. Can IT help diversify and improve its organization's overall detection and prevention capability, for both digital as well as traditional fraud?

Roadmap to Secure HealthCare Delivery Oct 19, 2011

Show notes

Healthcare organizations of all types, pharmacies, healthcare vendors, healthcare providers, and health insurance companies are all under pressure to go digital sooner rather than later. At each organization, the IT leader will have to assess the pros and cons of various services and cloud options, each of which comes with its own security concerns. Additionally, these IT leaders will have to implement compliant data security governance. Additionally IT will have to implement security on various mobile devices in various settings (for example, what about a tablet/pad with instructions from a doctor, in an ambulance?). How can we leverage IT to create a new roadmap to effective, nimble and secure healthcare, quickly?

Secure Government and International Borders Oct 12, 2011

Show notes

The sheer power of "hactivism" to disrupt eCommerce and perpetrate cybertheft, is attracting technically savvy groups with more ambitious agendas then activism or crime. Not just sensitive data of governments is at risk, but infrastructure, utilities, transportation, emergency, eCommerce and other critical networks are also at risk to cyberterrorist groups' hacking. What is the current state of collaboration among various governments in sharing information and ideas on how to protect all these critical support networks and territorial borders secure for the world? Can virtual and territorial borders ever be "safe enough?

So, You Need to Outsource Your Workplace IT? Oct 05, 2011

Show notes

With the increasing strategic importance of IT, it would seem logical for IT leaders to focus attention on top line growth related initiatives. Meanwhile, workplace IT is a good candidate for outsourcing since doing so would free IT from the need to deal with provisioning, support calls, updates, and hardware refreshes. Certainly companies are ready to make this move. However, unaddressed questions such as "How much?", "By whom?", and "When?" may prevent companies from realizing the benefits. What can we learn from others who have done this successfully? With the advancement of technology, how far is this decision from becoming a no-brainer?
