ITSM Weekly the Podcast (Week29) - Guest Speaker:Matt Blair & Taj Peeran

For the next gen of IT professionals the business landscape is a theory not a law.  With so much dynamics in the underlying operations of marketing, sales, manufacturing, IT is going to be challenged to bring a new game to the table.  Students need to be Business Students with Technology skills.  Product development and innovation is going to be a the mainstay of the engineering folks.   The role of the IT professional will be to manage the "pure sciences" capability, including intellectual property into a monetized outcome of technology (applied science).  Creating and protecting value models based on business benefits driven by technology will be no easy task.  The CIO of the future will have to have deep and diverse skills, if role exists at all.

Listen in to this weeks podcast as we talk to Matt Blair & Taj Peeran 2 students working to get their Masters in Information Services (MSIS).

ITSM Weekly the Podcast (Week26) Special Guest: Riitta Raesmaa


One of the areas that plagues CIO's and subsequently IT organizations is the area of contract management.  Even the CIO who is a savvy negotiator will readily admit, once the deal is inked managing the life-cycle of the contract becomes an exercise in file keeping, not vendor management.  This weeks guest on the podcast is Riitta Raesmaa, VP of Marketing and Communications for Sopima.  Like all of our guests she is skilled in ITSM and a major contributor to information sharing, whether through ITSMF or twitter.  She doesn't talk about contracts management on the podcast, but looking at her companies website Sopima got me thinking, this is definitely a topic CIO's could learn a lot more about.
Our last in the series of Women in IT Riitta is great fun, has a huge following on twitter and brings some great insight to the nation of Findland.

ITSM Weekly the Podcast (Week23) -Women in Tech Series Guest Speaker: Lisa Rowe & Neil Thomas

There is no doubt that IT has been a male dominitated industry.  This month we focus our attention on females who have made a real impact to the IT industry, both through their place within volunteer organizations, as well as within the corporate scene.

To kick off the series we have invited Lisa Rowe on our show.  You'll love Lisa's frank discussion of the "gender debate", and take away some great tips about career development.

Our other special guest is Neil Thomas, who will be heading up the ITSM Weekly the Podcast UK version.

Great show notes are here as always: Plus links to our sponsor of the Women in Technology series Hornbill
