Security is top of mind for the CIO. But security involves the entire organization and demands that everyone takes security seriously… hand washing as a priority and second nature seriously. Often, we find that hospital system CIO and CISOs have been more focused on budget battles with the board as security and core infrastructure has historically been under-funded. Changing behavior and influencing a healthy security mindset as core to hospital operations and corporate culture has not been a top priority.

It was another thought-provoking and insightful analyst summit with the Zoho team outside Austin last week. No, they haven’t got every feature and function perfectly formed, yes there are plenty of spots in the portfolio that still need work. Even so, as I’ve said elsewhere, Zoho’s leadership has the audacity to dream big, the skills to focus that vision, and the tenacity to see it realized.

For most executives looking at digital advertising optimization, personalization, retargeting or programmatic buying, Criteo is likely on the consideration list. A Wall Street darling in the heady days of rapid ad tech investment, it would be easy to assume that Criteo had fallen into the disruptor-now-the-disrupted category.

The Demand for Agility, Efficiency and Speed Requires a New Software Category: Business Acceleration Clouds
One of the more interesting and vibrant new spaces in enterprise software in the last few years has been the category of Robotic Process Automation or RPA. The premise is simple and compelling: Show a software robot how a repetitive work task is done, and it will literally learn how to do it by watching the employee carry it out manually.

As we enter the age of Authentic Marketing, Chief Marketing Officers and the teams they lead will be asked to justify authenticity itself…to explain why today is the day to engage with the customer on the customer’s terms and in their language…why now is the time to deliver on the centuries old promise of customer centricity. But, as the incomparable poet Maya Angelou said, you can’t really know where you are going until you know where you have been.

We wrapped up the J.P. Morgan's 38th annual Healthcare Conference a couple of weeks ago in San Francisco.

Privacy dies yet again
In another masterful piece of privacy reporting, Kashmir Hill in the New York Times has exposed the nefarious use of facial recognition technology by crime-fighting start-up Clearview. The business offers face searching and identification services, ostensibly to police forces, on the back of a strikingly large database of reference images extracted from the Internet.

They’re saying it loud and they’re saying it proud: traditional CRM systems are not enough to meet the needs of businesses today.

Rebellious. Audacious. Daring. Divergent.
Most advice guides encourage leaders to change their inherent characteristics to get the job, get the promotion and get the client. We are taught to “fit the mold” and hide those traits that make us different.
