G’day, and welcome to this new entry into the InfoWorld blogs. CIO Views is a place where you’ll find views on business and technology from the perspective of a guy who moved up through the technical ranks to senior management–and managed to keep his perspective.In this little corner of the web, we’ll be brutally pragmatic. We’ll take a look at emerging technologies; case studies; examples of use and misuse of people, process, and technology; and may even find some time to discuss the challenges of leadership in the 21st century.I welcome your comments, your recommendations for topics, and any insights you would like to share. You can read my bio to learn a bit more about me if you’d like. This blog will reflect my fervent belief that life is worth living with passion, interactions among people are all effectively value exchanges, and it is the core requirement of all of us to serve others.But more about all that as we explore technology from a pragmatic perspective.…starting next time… Careers
