The CTO Perspective – Episode 3 The NRF

Today’s episode is about Retail. Recorded from New York where the National Retail Federation conference takes place. This episode is my take on the innovations and technologies that have been showcased.

A lot of traditional players but with new technologies to help clients create new customer experiences, new players with applications build on new technologies and some really cool stuff.

All these elements will be addressed and at the end of the podcast, Kees Jacobs (@K_Jacobs) will give his very well articulated summary of the conference.

Even if you are not in the retail business, do listen since there are definitely learnings for all other industries as well

The CTO Perspective – Episode 2 Enterprise Architecture

In this Podcast I have a great conversation with Stephen Brown, CTO at Capgemini Sweden. Stephen is a re-joiner of Capgemini, after spending time at the client’s side. One of the main reasons to come back to Capgemini again, is the growing need Stephen sees in the field of Enterprise Architecture.

In this podcast you will hear Stephen’s view on why Enterprise Architecture is gaining momentum (again) in the market place and why in particular it is required in order to become an innovative competitive player in the market.

My favourite quote from this episode is “Your ICT landscape is the reflection of the business funding”. In other words, don’t blame the IT department, but have a look in how you can set your priorities towards a great future !
