The CIO Australia Show: What the go with Web 3.0?
There's been much talk lately about the so-called Web 3.0 sparking debate as to whether it is indeed the future of digital communications (Facebook's or rather ‘Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg certainly thinks so) or rather an over hyped concept driven by brands struggling to maintain relevance, and…

Checking the pulse of digital health in Australia
Organisations in the public and private sectors were faced with a once-in-a-century crisis, with CIOs and their teams thrust into the front line, delivering digital solutions in quick time that undoubtedly saved countless lives, while changing healthcare forever. In this episode we talk to…

How to be a CIO50 Australia winner in 2022
It’s that time of year again, with nominations now open for the CIO50 awards both in Australia and in New Zealand. The program is now in its 7th year down under, and has been running for four years across the ditch, creating a proud and growing alumni group underscoring the high calibre of...

Is your AI talking back?
Earlier this month this was a good deal of excitement – probably mixed with horror for some – following ‘revelations’ in the tech and indeed mainstream press that one of Google’s chat bots had become sentient. The call – or rather we might say alarm – was raised by software engineer, Blake…

Why do A/NZ enterprises still suck at AI?
We’re coming up to almost two years since the first episode of The CIO Show, which was a two part series discussing how Australian organisations were progressing with artificial intelligence. The scorecard was less than glowing, with much lower confidence and greater fear than most other…

The CIO Australia Show: Lessons learned a year on from Nine’s ransomware nightmare
It’s been just over a year since Australian media giant Nine was rocked by a major ransomware attack pushing its head of IT and the company’s first true head of cyber onto a true war-footing. Coming amid a sharp rise in cyber attacks throughout the pandemic, it nevertheless delivered a jolt to…

The CIO Australia Show: Has the DTA had its day?
The Digital Transformation Agency, or DTA, was established back in 2016 with an ambitious charter to steer the Australian public service towards being a world leader in the creation and delivery of digital services. Few would argue that it’s fallen well short of that, with a string of high…

The CIO Australia Show: Managing AI in the public sector
As anyone who follows the Australian CIO50 would know, former Revenue NSW CIO Kathleen Mackay topped the list in 2021 largely for her work in applying AI and machine learning to help develop better systems and processes for identifying - and managing - vulnerable people with outstanding fines....

-
Helping Australian CIOs become better leaders
One of the key CIO trends we’ve seen throughout the pandemic is that tech leaders have now come to be seen as business leaders in ways we’ve not seen before. And as you’ll hear in this episode, to such an extent that it’s likely the role of CIO – including possibly the title itself – will shift...

How Lendlease is laying new digital foundations for a post-COVID world
The property and construction sectors have been among the hardest hit throughout the pandemic, with lockdowns challenging operations at work sites and across the industry, while throwing the broader business of property management into total disarray. All of this occurred against a backdrop of...
-
Will your COVID-19 transformation stick?
Was COVID-19 really been as transformative as many people – especially vendors – suggest? Or has it been more like a scramble, still demanding a proper reset of strategy and priorities to extract real value from new and ongoing technology investment? The real answer probably lies somewhere in...
-
The CIO Australia Show: What does ‘best practice’ mean for tech leaders in 2021?
The term ‘best practice’ is certainly one of the most misused in business and technology circles today. At times, one wonders whether it’s almost become a euphemism for never mind the details, and ‘nothing to see here’, while some of the most ill-fated plans can be conceived with the best of…
more -
The CIO Show: What's your disaster recovery and business continuity plan today?
In this land of ‘droughts and flooding rains’, terrifying bushfires, earthquakes and now ever more emboldened cyber villains exploiting the pandemic, having a proper disaster recovery plan is critical to maintaining business continuity regardless of what calamity might befall you and your...
-
The CIO Australia Show: The new world of digitised, data-led manufacturing
Manufacturing has typically been well behind the pack when it comes to digital transformation. As result, its ability to innovate and cut costs has been limited, certainly when compared with other industries, with Australia – and many advanced other countries – forced to ship more and more...
-
The CIO Australia Show: How to avoid cloud ‘bill shock’
It’s now become almost a cliché to state cloud computing isn’t always the cheapest option compared with on premise or some hybrid configuration. In this episode we’ll be talking about how cloud cost management has now become a core competency for tech professionals today and what CIOs can do to...
-
The CIO Australia Show: Where do CISOs sit in today’s organisations?
In today’s more treacherous cyber security environment, organisations with the biggest targets on their heads can’t afford not to employ a dedicated data security expert, such as chief information security officer (CISO) or similar title, not only to keep the organisation safe from malicious…
more -
The CIO Australia Show: Big Brother in the enterprise
There’s been a great deal of discussion lately about the potential for technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning and others to reveal deeper insights into workforces. In much the same way as these tools are being applied to study markets and consumer buying behaviours, they’re…

The CIO Australia Show: Tracking the growth of agtech in 2021

The CIO Show: Australia’s accidental techies
The tech sector has plenty of people who never set out to work in the industry, let alone ascend to senior roles. Yet through some twist of fate or chance encounter, that’s exactly what has happened. And in some cases, they’ve found themselves in major tech roles, with hundreds of staff reporting...
-
The CIO Show: How APIs are transforming Australian enterprises
APIs have been around for a long time, but over the past few years they have become an increasingly indispensable tool for CIOs and organisations of all types. Forbes recently described them as the “essential connective tissue that enables companies to securely and quickly exchange data and...

Sydney Local Health District’s Richard Taggart on the tech behind its COVID-19 vaccination centre

-
The CIO Show: How IT's response to COVID changed education forever

It’s that time of year again, with nominations open for both the Australian and New Zealand ‘2021’ CIO50 lists this coming Wednesday, June 23. The CIO50 2020 was arguably the most significant recognition of how tech leaders in Australia and New Zealand helped their organisations deal with…

The CIO Show: AI and ethics - Separating 'principles' and 'bits'
With great power comes great responsibility, and there are few technologies driving today’s fast evolving digital landscape as powerful as artificial intelligence (AI). From anticipating consumer buying decisions, to predicting political outcomes, speeding discovery and treatment for disease, who...
-
The CIO Show: Have you gone 'all-in' with the cloud?
Throughout 2020 and into 2021, we’ve heard of more and more organisations in Australia deciding to migrate all data, systems and workloads into the cloud. It’s a big step, especially given not so long ago there was a lively debate about the wisdom of having anything but the least sensitive, least...

The CIO Show: Why 'women in IT'still doesn't compute in Australia

The CIO Show: NSW Police's CIO Gordon Dunsford on digital crime fighting
Gordon Dunsford, CIO at NSW Police is without a doubt one of the most fascinating tech leaders around. After becoming the agency’s first ever CIO just over three years ago, Dunsford and his team have transformed what was essentially a paper-based organisation, utterly bogged in endless…
more -
The CIO Show: C-suite face-off
Depending on who you ask, it's probably safe to say that over the years that chief information officers and other c-level execs have had somewhat of a love/hate relationship. In the past, the IT group has been viewed as a cost centre that is prone to overspending on tech projects and worse…
more -
The CIO Show: Finding Australia's top talent in 2021
It’s a perennial question for CIOs as they seek to hire and build the best teams: to what extent should experience be valued over qualifications, or the other way around? Tech professionals working at the coalface last year would have acquired several years, even more, of valuable experience...
-
The CIO Show: Edge computing has arrived
Edge computing as a concept has been around a long time. But now it would seem it’s entering the mainstream as an important, viable technology to improve everything from latency, data collection and, importantly organisations’ ability to further exploit the capabilities of hyper-scale…

The CIO Show: The Australian media's digitisation drama
The media industry today is barely recognisable from even 10 years ago, let alone at the start of the 21st century. The effects of digital disruption have been widespread, and they have been brutal. Print publishing is a shadow of its former self, while the transition to online news has been...
-
The CIO Show: CIO confessions
If one of the 20th century's greatest sportspeople can admit to failure, then why can't our tech execs? We ask three highly experienced tech chiefs about their biggest mistakes, what they learnt from the experience and how they applied those learnings throughout their careers. Nicki Doble, group...
-
The CIO Show: Is email dead?
The fact email is still around despite the array of superior collaboration platforms available for little or even no cost, is testament to its powerful legacy as the first true ‘killer app’. But if you’ve spent anytime using platforms like Slack, Monday, Ascender and of course the various...
-
The CIO Show: Is your team 'culture' letting you down?
Culture is a word that was barely if ever bandied about amongst tech leaders and their teams even five or so years ago, despite its addition to the broader corporate and human resources playbook some time before then. Now, and especially after the experiences of last year, culture is a serious...
-
The CIO Show: Australian tech execs on the attraction of not-for-profits
The not-for-profit sector had it as hard as any market during the COVID-19 pandemic. Traditionally under resourced – financially, technically and in terms of people – many were forced to adapt to unprecedented demand for assistance, and with a greater sense of urgency. Many Australian NFPs needed...
-
The CIO Show: Is open source really cheaper in Australia?
Open source has been a perennial hot topic for well over 20 years, ever since the Linux penguin sought to befriend everyone from the enterprise, SMEs and the media, with its happy story of data democratisation and an end to expensive and difficult to bend proprietary systems. No doubt captivated…

The CIO Show: Is 'monolithic ERP' dead in Australia?
Throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s, big ERP vendors and systems became synonymous with the highest levels of cost and complexity for CIOs. But as the SaaS pricing and deployment model continues its inexorable spread into every level and corner of today’s evolving technology stack, the…

Agile in Australia: Are you fast or fake?

-
The CIO Show: Is ‘hybrid cloud’ now passe?
In this episode we talk to two CIOs who’ve been right at the coalface of helping organisations manage large scale transitions to the cloud as to why we’re still talking about ‘hybrid cloud’. Has it become something of a euphemism for ‘digital laggard’, given so many organisations, including many…
