Effective and ineffective technology leadersaiken1114
This document discusses qualities of effective and ineffective technology leaders in schools. It analyzes the technology director and technology specialist at the author's school district. Effective leaders empower users with technology skills and knowledge, model technology use, secure resources and training, and foster other teachers' leadership abilities. The technology specialist interviews teachers for feedback and encourages departmental leadership. In contrast, ineffective leaders lack skills, fail to secure resources or plan training, and don't understand users' needs. Overall, effective technology leaders put users first, take risks to explore solutions, and help others lead with technology.
Changing role of the CIO in the new IT landscapeCharles Mok
The document discusses the changing role of the CIO. It notes that almost half of CEOs feel IT should be an outsourced commodity and rate their CIOs negatively in terms of understanding business strategy. The CIO role has expanded and now encompasses responsibilities such as strategist, implementer, risk manager, and data analyst. Additionally, CIOs must balance vision, operations, innovation, and other challenges while resources are limited. The role requires collaboration, communication, and aligning technology with business goals. Future CIOs will need strong business and leadership skills to navigate these complex responsibilities.

The document discusses research finding that companies with boards that have digital experience and expertise ("digitally savvy boards") significantly outperform companies whose boards lack digital skills. Some key findings include:
- Companies with 3 or more directors with experience in technology fields or digital roles had 17% higher profit margins, 38% higher revenue growth, and 34% higher returns than companies with fewer digitally savvy directors.
- Nearly all industries are undergoing digital transformation, but some sectors like information industries have a higher percentage of digitally savvy boards already.

There is also debate around centralized vs decentralized project management approaches.

Theme: Digital Era with Consumer Internet & Touching Cloud 9 with Cloud Computing
In the Digital era Internet business models are categorized as business-to-consumer, business-to-business, and more recently, consumer-to-consumer. Business-to-consumer and business-to-business models typically sell goods and services or provide information designed to help visitors make purchase decisions. Consumer-to-consumer models involve consumer-to-consumer information or product exchange. Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network. At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and services. This can work for allocating resources to users. The term "moving to cloud" also refers to an organization moving away from a traditional CAPEX model to the OPEX model.

12. The (3) Key Technological Advancements
That Will Shape Society’s Future
1. Nanotechnology
2. Quantum Computing
3. Internet of Things
12
“How leading-edge technology will transform
business in the next century”
13. 1. Nanotechnology
• How small is a nanometer? Our fingernails grow at about 1 nanometer per
second
• Nanotechnology allows science to “alter” the physical characteristics of our
world to create new innovative products and solutions
13
“How leading-edge technology will transform
business in the next century”
Nanotechnology simply means – really,
really small (atomic & molecular level)
Physical properties in our world have
completely different characteristics
when they are studied at their
“smallest” level (atomic & molecular)
Nanotechnology will alter our human
form, predict health problems, change
plants, animals and our food supply at
the atomic level

15. 2. Quantum Physics & Computing
15
“How leading-edge technology will transform
business in the next century”
Quantum physics deals with the
behavior of the smallest things in
our universe: subatomic particles.
In a 2010 experiment, scientists
proved that an object may exist
simultaneously in two different
worlds. They isolated a tiny piece of
metal, struck it like a tuning fork and
observed that it moved and stood still
at the same time.
Haven't we all imagined what it would
be like to instruct Scotty to beam us up,
then dissolve into a stream of particles,
only to be reassembled in another
place? It's science fiction no more; it
has been done, not on humans but on
large molecules.
16. 2. Quantum Computing – Future Applications
• Safer airplanes—Lockheed Martin plans to use its D-Wave to test jet software that is
currently too complex for classical computers.
• Discover distant planets—Quantum computers will be able to analyze the vast amount
of data collected by telescopes and seek out Earth-like planets.
• Win elections—Campaigners will comb through reams of marketing information to best
exploit individual voter preferences.
• Detect cancer earlier—Computational models will help determine how diseases develop.
• Help automobiles drive themselves—Google is using a quantum computer to design
software that can distinguish cars from landmarks.
• Reduce weather-related deaths—Precision forecasting will give people more time to take
cover.
• Develop more effective drugs—By mapping amino acids, or analyzing DNA-sequencing
data, doctors will discover and design superior drug-based treatments.

Simply put this is the concept of
basically connecting any device with
an on and off switch to the Internet

everything from cell phones, coffee
makers, washing machines,
headphones, lamps, wearable
devices and almost anything else
you can think of.
The IoT is a giant network of
connected “things” (which also
includes people). The relationship
will be between people-people,
The IoT also opens up companies all over the world to people-things, and things-things.
