As chief innovator and problem solver, the CTO’s value far exceeds technology skills. The CTO must lead as a highly visible first-class citizen of the C-suite. Still, many technology experts operate in a reactive, support-oriented style, struggling to command respect or assert influence—let alone executive presence. Whether setting the tone as a new hire or looking to redirect or revitalize an established role, one hundred days are all you need to secure long-term success.

A modern military aircraft disappears into a violent storm... —and emerges in the middle of Napoleon’s rise to power. At first, survival is all that matters.

Battles change. Nations vanish. The future itself starts ...

You open your CRM and find three versions of the same client. Your file system has a folder called "Final FINAL v3." Your spreadsheet has columns that no one on your team can explain — including the person who made them. And somewhere in the back of your mind, a voice is saying: I should probably be using AI by now. Here is what that voice isn't telling you: so should everyone else. And almost no one's business is ready for it. Not because the technology is too advanced.

AI for Business is a 30-day tactical framework designed to take you from "overwhelmed operator" to "strategic architect". Using the PROCESS Framework, you will systematically audit the chaos, pinpoint the 20 percent of tasks driving 80 percent of your drag, and engineer a machine that executes the boring work without you.

You have read the headlines. Quantum computing will crack today’s encryption. It will simulate molecules no supercomputer can touch. It will solve optimization problems that have stumped logistics networks for decades. Every time you try to follow the explanation, the jargon arrives like a wall — qubits, superposition, decoherence, entanglement — and the tab gets closed. Meanwhile, the boardrooms, research labs, and defense agencies that understand this technology are already making decisions that will reshape your industry, your data, and your career. The gap between those who ...

A personal journey building Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR), a technology used to help protect critical infrastructure and enterprise networks. Most cybersecurity strategies are built on an assumption that threats can be detected before they cause harm. In reality, attackers move faster than detection can keep up, especially when it comes to files.

This radical new book concentrates on the way in which each side tried to use or deny the sea to the other, and in so doing describes rapid wartime changes not only in ship and weapons technology but also in the way naval warfare was envisaged and fought. Melding strategic, technical, and tactical aspects, Friedman approaches World War I from a fresh perspective and demonstrates how its perceived lessons dominated the way navies prepared for World War II.

“The CTO’s key tasks are not those of lab director writ large but, rather, of a technical businessperson deeply involved in shaping and implementing overall corporate strategy.” - MIT Sloan Management Review What does it take to be a great CTO? Leadership - Expertise - Innovation - Teamwork - Relationships - Passion In the 21st century, every company that is going to be a leader in its industry needs an executive who is focused on identifying, tracking, developing, and profiting from new and emerging technologies.

AI tools are everywhere. Clear guidance on what to build with them is not. Most people don’t fail with AI because they lack access, skill, or motivation. They fail because they never decide what deserves their focus. They keep learning and tweaking—while real progress stays just out of reach. If you’ve explored platforms, followed tutorials, and still asked yourself how you could monetize AI—it isn’t confusion. It’s a missing decision framework.

Most strategic analysis focuses on what is large today. It measures market share, resources, or current dominance. These indicators describe the present well, but they often fail to explain how dominance actually emerges. The Compounding Edge examines what happens when the decisive variable is not current size but growth rate. When two processes grow at different rates, the faster one eventually prevails regardless of starting position. For a long period the slower process appears stronger. The faster process looks marginal, experimental, or easy to dismiss. Then a crossover occurs. After ...

Between 55 and 75 percent of all enterprise software implementations fail. The average cost overrun is 189 percent. Only one in four ERP projects is considered successful by the organizations that paid for them. These numbers have not improved in thirty years. This is not a coincidence. It is by design. In Welcome to the Machine, digital transformation expert Eric Kimberling pulls back the curtain on the trillion-dollar ecosystem of technology vendors, system integrators, and analyst firms that profits enormously — and systematically — from your organization's failure. He calls it the ...

AI Agents for Business Leaders introduces the Agentic Maturity Model—a five-level framework that shows exactly where your business sits today, what the next level looks like, and what changes when you get there. Most businesses are stuck at Level 1 or 2. The ones pulling ahead have reached Level 3 and beyond—where AI doesn't assist work, it owns it.

Artificial Intelligence is the bedrock of the future economy and the new global operating system that will quietly power every industry, process, and decision. In The Future After AI, top-ranked economist and world-renowned futurist Jason Schenker explores how AI will underpin finance, technology, energy, healthcare, education, and business. AI is transforming the global economy in ways as profound as the internet and computers once did. But just as we no longer marvel at using the internet, AI's impact is likely to become so deeply embedded in technology and society that we might soon stop...

Rick Howard, the Chief Security Officer, Chief Analyst, and Senior fellow at The Cyberwire, challenges the conventional wisdom of current cybersecurity best practices, strategy, and tactics and makes the case that the profession needs to get back to first principles.

Who Should Own AI StrategyAI Is Not an IT Project. It Is a Leadership Test.By Tim Glomb Jr. Most companies are approaching AI the wrong way. They're buying tools, launching pilots, and telling employees to "use more AI"—while the business itself stays fundamentally unchanged. The same inefficient workflows. The same fragmented systems. The same endless meetings and manual reporting. The same people acting as human glue between disconnected processes. That's not transformation. That's motion.
