For many years I have hosted Twitter chats. Some lasted 10 years.
#Tchat later changed to #WorkTrends and #axschat. I was a regular on #ESNChat and #CIOChat.
If you ever participated in any of them, let’s reconnect.
I’m planning to start one here every Wednesday at 18h00 Dublin, using #TechEurope

A4: Huge piece of this is making incremental and ongoing learning an actual adopted practice ... rather than a nice-to-do when time allows. Also should make it a point of personal AND professional discovery, not knowledge just "career requirements." #CIOChat

A4: What are the actual and realistic milestones and goals? Who are your internal and external champions to help guide the team towards success? Which are the immediate needs and how you can you turn others into a phased approach, while ensuring the team celebrates both small and big wins? #CIOChat

Think there's a bit of double entendre irony with "zero trust," Dion! 😉🔐 #CyberSecurity #CIOChat

Think it goes beyond simply saying no enough, Dion ... are they saying no to the right things so they can adequately and appropriately say yes to the right ones? Must always remember that decisions have real opportunity costs. This is true for all leaders, #CIO and beyond. #CIOChat

A4: IMHO, one area that should define parts of this *should* be whether the colleagues people work with most are in the same office location or elsewhere. Why commute to the office if it's just to sit on video calls?? 🤔🤷♂️ #CIOChat

A1: This intrigues me, Dion. I've never thought it was an absolute all-or-nothing for RTO, remote or hybrid. Many different elements and situations, as well as pros and cons. That said, I do debate the issue with limiting talent to the radius of office locations. Anyone else? #CIOChat #FutureOfWork

Overall, yes ... in many situations, it has become a bridge between corporate (and even educational/community/startup) challenges and the ability to act on innovation to make it happen. However, as security continues to be a top concern and surface area risk with bad actors, still much TBD. #CIOChat

A1: Hugely important topic. Remember the days of teams having trouble with access to needed internal tools and signing up for @dropbox.com as an easy "shadow IT" solution, but disregarded corporate policies & even #CyberSecurity issues. Think "shadow #AI" = a growing challenge for many now. #CIOChat

A2: Think it's still the fundamental challenges of #CyberSecurity often being more of an add-on than foundational focus. It must be a technology AND people approach, especially as more APIs and integrations connect most touch points. Will #Quantum capabilities enhance or hurt security? TBD. #CIOChat

#CIOChat A2: I think the real key is being able to have a true TCO / ROI conversation. "It costs X amount to run a business capability; are we getting the value? If not, what can the business do differently?" Cutting our way to prosperity isn't the answer, but we do need to provide transparency.

#CIOChat A1: Contingent workers, and duplicate systems (i.e. cut Zoom licenses when Teams is our standard for collaboration). We are doing a zero-based-budget (not for the faint of heart!) so we can have very specific discussions about where costs go, and make informed decisions.

A1: I've not seen DEBs yet, but the idea that we spend a significant - and growing - amount of time on governance / regulatory-type work is 100% accurate. It's too much. There must be a better way to handle the multitude of governance conversations. It's exhausting! #CIOChat

You mean, are we applying security AI to find non-sanctioned AI? You bet.
We also recognize people are going to experiment on their home device, talk with friends, etc. New ideas are going to come in and are welcome. A good idea with a solid use/business case gets attention. #CIOChat

A1: Isolation, communication and limited audiences. We have a one-and-only playground for anybody in our 4 walls to experiment and learn. We've communicated the what and why extensively. For a limited audience and specific use-cases, we have an expanded-yet-controlled access. #CIOChat

A3: Generally, all the above. Of course can't post specifics of our approach on BlueSky, but if you go "big bang" you'll never get there. You have to take quick wins and proceed with a layered approach strategy. Sometimes you can take a few steps quickly. #CIOChat

A2: My team is contemplating this very issue. The conversation is aimed at natural capability modernization cycles (i.e. EOL events) coupled with framing the story in a way to demonstrate why this is good for business, not just good for security. That can generate support to proceed. #CIOChat

A1: ZTA as a concept is achievable. It's a framework that is open to variation and interpretation, so IT leaders must contemplate the capabilities, investments & risk appetite required, over a time horizon that is appropriate. ZTA is not the hammer to the "everything" nail. #CIOChat
