Shock and Awe
10/1/2005

The Vision Thing
5/1/2005
Often it seems visionaries get a bad rap. On television at least, visionaries are typically portrayed as kooks, one small step from mass murderers. In these cases, seeing into the future is portrayed as more a curse or a delusion than a necessary skill. We at Hospitality Technology, take quite a different view. To our minds, the 2005 Hospitality Visionaries serve an essential role helping us all map the future of our industry.

A Glorious Buffet
4/1/2005
Having a coherent technology strategy requires more than just planning and a deep knowledge of the systems--it also requires communication skills. A true CIO or CTO, after all, is more than a technologist. An IT leader must be able to communicate how systems should work together and be able to convince a CEO, franchisees, management companies, investors and others that the strategy is coherent and will work. That's where an apt metaphor can really come in handy.
