email to work

that bad

botnets

execute

Here’s My Take On It

• You must focus on strategy

• You absolutely must have Governance

• You have to be a salesperson

• Align with business plans and risk

• Leapfrog the technology

• Hire the best you can

• Don’t be afraid to outsource and use consultants
