The Internet - The first Worldwide Tool of Unification ("The End of History")

" ... Now I give you something that few think about: What do you think the Internet is all about, historically? Citizens of all the countries on Earth can talk to one another without electronic borders. The young people of those nations can all see each other, talk to each other, and express opinions. No matter what the country does to suppress it, they're doing it anyway. They are putting together a network of consciousness, of oneness, a multicultural consciousness. It's here to stay. It's part of the new energy. The young people know it and are leading the way.... "

" ... I gave you a prophecy more than 10 years ago. I told you there would come a day when everyone could talk to everyone and, therefore, there could be no conspiracy. For conspiracy depends on separation and secrecy - something hiding in the dark that only a few know about. Seen the news lately? What is happening? Could it be that there is a new paradigm happening that seems to go against history?... " Read More …. "The End of History"- Nov 20, 2010 (Kryon channelled by Lee Carroll)

Have you seen innovation and invention in the past decade that required thinking out of the box of an old reality? Indeed, you have. I can't tell you what's coming, because you haven't thought of it yet! But the potentials of it are looming large. Let me give you an example, Let us say that 20 years ago, you predicted that there would be something called the Internet on a device you don't really have yet using technology that you can't imagine. You will have full libraries, buildings filled with books, in your hand - a worldwide encyclopedia of everything knowable, with the ability to look it up instantly! Not only that, but that look-up service isn't going to cost a penny! You can call friends and see them on a video screen, and it won't cost a penny! No matter how long you use this service and to what depth you use it, the service itself will be free.

Now, anyone listening to you back then would perhaps have said, "Even if we can believe the technological part, which we think is impossible, everything costs something. There has to be a charge for it! Otherwise, how would they stay in business?" The answer is this: With new invention comes new paradigms of business. You don't know what you don't know, so don't decide in advance what you think is coming based on an old energy world. ..."

The CIO As Liaison And Guide

As the pressure ratchets up for IT to become business focused, innovative and strategic, Deloitte Consulting maps out the obstacles and offers guidance for CIOs seeking to become the "CEO of IT."

By Eugene Lukac, Specialist Leader, and Peter McBrearty, Senior Manager, Deloitte Consulting LLP, Optimize, June 2007

Businessinnovation

Congratulations! You've made it to the post of CIO. Unfortunately, the skills that propelled you up the IT ladder won't necessarily help you to stay in the position for long. If you're like most CIOs, you advanced by delivering on-time and on-budget technology projects. Therefore, it might be reasonable to assume that if you can continue delivering successful projects, you will live happily ever after, right? Wrong. If that's your attitude, you're heading for a fall — and given average CIO tenure, probably within two to three years, maximum.

That's right, technical skills along with some people savvy won't take you far enough. Today's CIO must be " first and foremost " a business executive, just like all senior executives. That means being motivated by the same things as other business leaders, using the same language they do and above all, effectively controlling costs. Indeed, managing cost (both within IT and the company at large) is typically "table stakes" for a CIO. If you don't figure out how to be successful at this, you likely won't be around long enough to achieve anything else.

Along with managing costs, successful CIOs today need to also focus on deploying technology to support the company in achieving its goals, rather than pondering the relative "elegance" of technology alternatives. The CIO must be able to talk about business solutions, competitive advantage, innovations, and customers " all of the things that drive the other business executives. Technology is primarily an enabler; business strategy and metrics are paramount.

The CIO with staying power views himself or herself as the CEO of the IT business within the overall company. Here, the CIO's language should reflect a shift to a CEO's priorities to the point where he or she starts talking about the IT organization's products and services, its internal market and its shareholders. It's not enough anymore to be a savvy technologist who took over the top job in IT: the CIO must become a business leader.

A contemporary CIO should help the company establish a clear "line of sight" between technology and business issues. The CIO must also educate business executives as to how technology can drive business results. CIOs should strive to help their internal customers understand technology and mine its potential to better serve not just their own customers but also their customers' customers.
