CIOs need to change the conversation to get better results. Thad Lurie, managing director of technology consulting services for Old Town IT, told conference-goers to check out a panel discussion on how chief information officers need to have a “dramatic new conversation with their C-suite colleagues.” Lurie told the audience that he intended to watch the clip on Harvard Business Review  (opens in a new tab) casually, but said that he was glued to the screen. The panel includes business author Gary Hamel; Jim Stikeleather, author and chief innovation officer for Dell Services; Leni Kaufman, CIO of Newport News Shipbuilding; and Tim Theriault, CIO of Walgreens.
