I recently had the opportunity to attend a conference where we discussed leadership values. We did an exercise that “measured” how well we lived values that are important to us. In the end, we discovered which values are truly important to us...

My annual check-up with my doctor reminded me how important it is to keep tabs on my health by taking a holistic approach to my overall well-being. For example, paying closer attention to the diet or exercise regimen can alleviate many common aches and pains. As I drove back to the office with a clean bill of health, I thought about how a holistic approach could also solve some of the aches and pains felt by enterprise businesses...

So, let me share with you a little about my house. I live in California and bought near the top of the real estate market. I have a small, charming 1950s colonial in a nice neighborhood. But like many older homes, I got other things that I didn’t want, such as a pink kitchen. I’m not joking. The sink, floor, walls and the countertops were pink. Not my idea of House Beautiful. The floors were pink striped linoleum....

Each day, it seems there are reports of nefarious behavior happening in our Internet / cyber world environment. Due to this, there are five questions I challenge you to consider:...
“I don’t know what good art is, but I know it when I see it.” It’s the same challenge when describing what an application is to your mother or someone used to thirty years of the PC. Today things are further complicated by a plethora of new devices. Is an application something that runs on the device or can it run remotely? In other words, is an application native to the device or can we consider a process running on a server...
What motivates you to change? Is it a valued opinion, a trend, or a necessity? I’d consider myself somewhat a creature of habit and I fall victim to my routine quite often. It often takes a wake-up call to force me to change my habits. As luck, or a lack of luck, would have it, last week I was hampered by a computer crash. You know, two full business days of working with IT to fix your laptop while having limited access to the files...
