Caught Between Peak and Valley -- How CIOs Can Survive Today, While Positioning for Tomorrow

Welcome to a podcast discussion on helping CIOs make the right decisions and adjustments in both strategy and execution as we face a new era in IT priorities. The combination of the down economy, resetting of IT investment patterns, and the need for agile business processes, along with the arrival of some new technologies, are all combining to force CIOs to reevaluate their plans. CIOs are shifting in their priorities and making real-time adjustments. So what should CIOs make as priorities in the short, medium, and long terms? How can they reduce total cost, while modernizing and transforming IT? What can they do to better support their business requirements? In a nutshell, how can they best prepare for the new economy? Here to help us address new questions during a very challenging time, and yet also a time in which opportunity and differentiation for CIOs begins, is Lee Bonham, marketing director for CIO Agenda Programs in Hewlett-Packard's (HP’s) Technology and Solutions Group. The interview is moderated by BriefingsDirect's Dana Gardner, principal analyst at Interarbor Solutions. Read a full transcript of the discussion, or download the transcript. Sponsor: Hewlett-Packard.
