Written & Edited by Kevin & Sydney Bonfield (shown above) Lately, I’ve been practicing the art of stacking activities. Unlike multitasking—which divides our attention among several disparate jobs—stacking involves creatively combining tasks in a way that can enhance productivity without compromising focus or quality. Case in point: I enjoy sharing my experiences through posting articles. […]
The way we do business is consistently evolving. The primary driver of this evolution has always been advances in technology, and it’s likely to always be the main reason corporations will continue to transform. However, strategies and expectations aren’t the only components forced to adapt alongside changing technology. Our IT organizations are not only working […]
For any complex organization that relies on technology, digital transformation is a “when” not an “if.” Business leaders are recognizing what can happen when they start looking at IT as a partner, not a vendor. That means the stakes are getting higher. Leaders expect not only to break even on IT transformation, but to generate […]
In recent years, we’ve seen more and more articles on the importance of leading versus managing—or “leading from the front.” While there can be some value in a hierarchical approach, our experience working with IT organizations has shown there are better ways to achieve sustainable success. Identifying Leadership In every organization, there are unrecognized leaders. […]
Theresa May wasn’t a huge fan of the Brexit. That’s why she might be the ideal Prime Minister to lead it. The current affairs in England and the EU have me thinking about the importance of clarity in any massive transformation. In my experience working with IT organizations, I’ve observed a fundamental relationship between the […]
In 2016, businesses are racing towards digital and technological transformation.

As enterprises embark on the path to digital transformation in hopes of becoming more responsive and proactive, business leaders are recognizing the need for IT strategy. However, even with a strategic initiative in place, most IT organizations fail to effectively execute and/or deliver the desired results. In either scenario, IT executives often struggle to demonstrate […]
Most business leaders are quick to claim they put customers first. In our experience, that’s not always the case. All too often in business, revenue comes first—and the customer is a distant second. In other instances, the customer comes first—but at a detriment to the business. When a handful of customers drive the majority of […]
I was born in London, grew up in the United Kingdom and started working there. Eighteen months into my first job I had the opportunity to come to Dallas for a six-month transfer with my company. I jumped at the chance to experience living in another country, one that I had visited only once in […]
More often than not, business leaders tell us that their IT organizations don’t deliver what’s needed—or when it’s needed. At the same time, IT feels pressure to satisfy everyone in the company—and ends up pleasing no one. Either way, initiatives fail and everyone is dissatisfied. The reality is this: Demand for IT solutions will always […]
The Inca Trail is an 8-mile stretch of uneven terrain that leads travelers to the site of the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu.
