HP Q4 sales lighter than expected
HP CEO Enrique Lores said 2023 was "a year of steady progress" in a tough market.
Five years ago, Chief Information Officers (CIOs) were on top of the world. These executives played mission-critical roles in driving multi-million dollar projects that delivered massive change. However, a global recession and the inability of CIOs to deliver on business value have tarnished their status. Today's CIOs are under pressure to deliver on requests for innovation, cost reduction, connectivity, and a growing demand for business intelligence. Just as previous technology and business shifts have changed the role of the CIO, the new, more consumer-oriented business models of the social revolution will favor a new breed of business and technology leader. These leaders will have to navigate myriad converging and disruptive technologies, align new initiatives to both business value and technology feasibility, and identify strategies to leverage existing investments to fund innovation. Constellation's research and advisory offerings arm the CIO w/ the knowledge, best practices, and strategies required to manage the four personas of the next generation CIO.

Microsoft hires ousted OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. "We have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners," says Satya Nadella.
With holiday shopping season underway, retailers see uncertain consumer spending, better inventory positions, lower supply chain costs and customer experience investments they hope deliver.
Sam Altman just faced his Steve Jobs moment when the OpenAI board fired him on Friday.
The balance between too much governance and not enough innovation was the challenge OpenAI faced. This was a very immature board with members who had never built companies, never moved from ideology to commercialization, nor had any pragmatic board experience.
With enterprises still kicking the tires on large language models (LLMs), use cases and generative AI applications, vendors are big on providing choice, bring-your-own-models and the ability to mix and match foundations.
The board said that Altman's departure follows "a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities."
At Microsoft's Ignite 2023 conference the company fleshed out its generative AI offerings and strategy and, in some places, put some serious distance between it and the competition.
