The InformationWeek Podcast
The InformationWeek Podcast brings together one CIO and one executive from business operations to discuss a shared IT pain point, but from their distinct perspectives on how they handle the matter.
Host Joao-Pierre S. Ruth then leads the panelists through a set of tabletop exercises, where they must collaborate to resolve the challenges he throws in their way and help a fictional company weather its questionable technology decisions.
