CIO: Dead in 5 years
Now that I have your attention... Recently I was having a conversation with a friend (Brian Kovacs) and the topic came up about the CIO role. I have seen a significant shift in the last year with folks in this role. I have seen a lot of CIO's in transition, as well as the CIO role morphing into a role very different than it was 10 years ago. I've had several conversations over the last 3 months on this and was going to sit down and put all of my observations into this blog to see if anyone agr… Continue

I'm still looking for the right opportunity but haven't found it yet. I want to thank you for referring me to Time Warner (Barb Hansen). My interview went well but they had no open positions either. Please let me know if you can think of anyone else who could use someone with my background. Thanks, Jim
After repeating to myself for the umpteenth time regarding a corporate decision/strategy, "that's the wrong direction, and this is what should be done or what I'd do," Yes, absolutely, I've felt the START A NEW BUSINESS CALL..
Heck, I'm over 45! I can't make any "40 Under 40 (John, I'll nominate you at the appropriate time)" List, but by Gum I'll beat Colonel Sanders to initiating my start-up!!
Starting a business. Yes and he** yes!!
Then I balk at Reality, Line One: Fill in means of family support for a solo gig.
My first pass: Easy enough. I have friends who have friends who want to start in business -- I had an opportunity last summer, in fact to do just that and it looked promising.
In that instance, from out-of-the-blue, a nice offer and paycheck intervened. That half-a-billion dollar e-marketing e-cog position jammed. Now I'm back, looking at "Line One."
I have one and perhaps two potentially novel internet-based new business ideas. Aside from the flowchart diagrams and business planning documents I've napkin-mapped, what do I do next -- especially as it relates to filling in "Line One?"
