Hiring a #FractionalCIO has numerous expansive benefits, many of which emerge from an outside perspective.

Often IT systems can be wasteful if configured improperly, and there may be yet room for value innovation or productivity still left on the table.

#CIO #Innovation

One of the biggest gulfs in understanding present in the corporate world is the one that exists between #cybersecurity professionals and their respective boards. Both parties here have deeper responsibilities that concern a company's future. #Innovation https://t.co/eRTSakPGYI

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Bant Breen on the Uncaged Podcast to discuss a little bit about my career, my passion, and my future trajectory in the consulting and IT innovation space.

Thanks for sharing, Sanjay! The unique goals and demands of IT require culture and diversity programs all to their own in an industry that often struggles to uplift and empower new talent. Mentorship plays a big role in the access to and growth of many core IT skills.

Company-wide diversity, equity, and inclusion goals aren’t enough. IT leaders need to set concrete, measurable #DEI goals for their tech workforce — and then meet those goals. Linda Rosencrance, @Computerworld

A #CIO can do so much with #AI when designing #IT structures strategically, not just to optimize and refine, but to support M&A decisions every step of the way. #Procurement, negotiation, and integration can all be advanced through technology. https://t.co/MfMkk0Q64z

[Tauseef Israr @Trusted_Tauseef]

If you spend a lot of time finding people who “fit” a #culture, you may be missing out on the inherent advantages of #diversity. A welcoming environment means making room for others to fit in rather than isolating hires based on arbitrary criteria. https://t.co/dCq8T1sFO8

I really appreciated how this article put #AI in context with broader #cybersecurity trends. Industries are no longer simply ‘digitalizing.’ The next step in this leap of transformation is to secure #data by building secure frameworks for themselves. https://t.co/jGdr20C1gf

[Tauseef Israr @Trusted_Tauseef]

All the things we want to see from the private sector (responsibility, inclusivity, resilience) are enforced by adherence to common goals.
This isn't the place for shortcuts or patchwork approaches to problem-solving. #Data #Secuirty #IT https://t.co/AD3zhJzYXL

[Tauseef Israr @Trusted_Tauseef]

While #AI continues to have a big impact in #cybersecurity circles, key conversations being had amongst thought leaders continue to shape the cyber preparedness landscape. #DataGovernance is also emerging as a crucial set of procedures to get right. https://t.co/0bv66UY9nU

[Tauseef Israr @Trusted_Tauseef]

Responsible #leadership embraces a long-term mindset. Companies who take things like #governance seriously do so because they understand the long-term benefits far outweigh any short-term gain. #IT https://t.co/yj8zF36gJy

[Tauseef Israr @Trusted_Tauseef]

Thanks for this breakdown! Companies everywhere can learn a lot from these corporate policy and governance failures, as IT security remains a critical risk vector not to be ignored.

A great teardown of the Microsoft Exchange online breach by @oasissec .
Several “avoidable errors” in non-human identity management practices led to the breach, including
- failure to decommission an old signing key
- use of a key across business and consumer networks
- oversight in non-human identity risk assessment of acquired firms.

#EmotionalIntelligence is a big topic in business circles right now. It takes a degree of self-awareness to lead a team to success, and that self-awareness must be developed and worked on, rather than be made inherent from assumptions. #Leadership #Culture https://t.co/SQ5vymCeF7

[Tauseef Israr @Trusted_Tauseef]

Customer care can be crucial for businesses to get right. #AI implementations, in my view, should be focused on allotting more time to individual customer service professionals by simplifying and optimizing the customer query process. #Innovation https://t.co/HOqLfmCwxM

[Tauseef Israr @Trusted_Tauseef]

When looking at innovations at the crossroads of #AI and #cybersecurity, I believe a crucial aspect that must not be ignored is the importance of a robust governance model. Organizational trust requires guardrails as a prerequisite. #Innovation https://t.co/ttc4mhjEE3

Sometimes all it takes is a #FractionalCIO who knows what they’re doing to completely transform your business. If you have been searching far and wide for the right person to address your IT and innovation needs, look no further! Let's get in contact! #Innovation #IT #CIO

[Tauseef Israr @Trusted_Tauseef]

This is a very thoughtful piece, Nick! Many organizations are at a key transformation point, one that will require leaders to make tough decisions. You can never go wrong by prioritizing people!

Leaders, how can you appeal to a board of directors?

One of the biggest factors that seldom gets mentioned is the overwhelming importance of a long-term perspective when it comes to #IT team expansion.

#Innovation #Leadership #CIO https://t.co/x5OzhnAEQb

[Tauseef Israr @Trusted_Tauseef]

Peace of mind does not come from a stagnation in #technology. Something not changing can introduce new risks. Rather, true peace of mind comes from a sense of trust among a team. #CIO #Leadership https://t.co/ERTkEeVzkK

[Tauseef Israr @Trusted_Tauseef]

Leaders outside of #IT roles often see security as a cost center, one that never pays off in a tangible way. It is up to us, as the transformative tech leaders of our age, to get rid of this misconception through impeccable IT alignment. #Leadership #CIO https://t.co/io5z4DOFfv

[Tauseef Israr @Trusted_Tauseef]

This is a great perspective.

Sometimes leaders just need to step back and trust that their team is right when it comes to the right places to implement #AI in their respective workflows.
