“Technology teams should continue to maintain operational excellence — in the past, their primary function — but because business and technology strategies are now entwined, technology work should evolve to focus on hand-in-hand collaboration with business functions to cocreate value.” This quote comes from a Deloitte study:
The Future of Work in Technology. Today Mark Coxon
looks to the future, referencing this Deloitte study, and what our industry needs to do to not just survive, but also succeed. For example, when you hire new employees, do you hire for technical skill or soft skills, knowing technical skills can be taught? In the past, that was an easier question to answer, but now it may not be. Paul Konikowski also has more cybersecurity advice,
this time with inspiration from Robert Mueller.
NEC Display is also now shipping its recently-announced
P605UL “whisper-quiet” laser projector, which tiptoes in at only 19 dB in eco mode.
According to the CDC, a human whisper is 30 dB and normal speaking is about 60 dB, so that’s really not an exaggeration.
