TechCentral — In the third of a series of podcasts with IoT.nxt, the company's CEO, Nico Steyn, and chief of product engineering, André Jacobs, join TechCentral for a discussion on innovation. Innovation is probably something we don’t see enough of in South Africa’s IT industry, with many of the large players in the sector historically building their businesses on the back of reselling and supporting international technology products. There have, of course, been exceptions to that rule, and IoT.nxt fits into that category. In fact, the company was created on the back of an idea to solve a business challenge. In the podcast, Steyn explains why he sees innovation as important to IoT.nxt’s growth over the years and its success as a business. He expands on some of the innovations IoT.nxt has been involved with. In 2016, the company was identified by Gartner as one of the six "Aspiring Innovators" at the Gartner Symposium/ITXpo held in Cape Town. It was also a finalist for innovation for Emerging Enterprises at the 2016 Technology Top 100 Awards and the winner of the category "Management of Technology for Medium Enterprises" at TT100 in 2019. Steyn and Jacobs expand on what that recognition contributed to the company and its innovation focus? Don't miss the discussion.

Connected Futures: A Cisco podcast exploring business innovation insights
"CIOs are being asked to step up our game," said Cisco CIO Guillermo Diaz Jr., "to be business liaisons, the bridge between the technology and business outcomes." To do that, however, demands sweeping culture change in IT - which Diaz calls the hardest part of digital transformation. A true strategic CIO, Diaz has been a driving force in Cisco's transformation from a hardware to a software and solutions company - by embracing and supporting emerging technologies and new business models. Equally important, he's maintained a laser focus on culture, talent, and expanding the skill sets of his teams, as they've forged a much closer alignment between IT and Cisco's Business. And he's accomplished all of that while being a passionate advocate for diversity, inclusion, and social responsibility. Recently, Diaz shared his enthusiasm for culture change - and deep knowledge of IT - before a packed hall at Gartner Symposium ITXPO in Orlando. Then, he met with Connected Futures executive editor Kevin Delaney for a free-ranging one-on-one discussion - on the culture and talent issues that challenge all CIOs.

Everybody wants velocity — the ability to deliver new capability at a speed that delights the business. Unfortunately, much of the development done at high speed is creating a mountain of technical debt and complexity that will result in higher cost and lower velocity. Velocity should be a by-product of agility — agility is never the by-product of velocity. To view additional videos from Gartner Symposium/ITxpo, visit http://eod.gartner.com/esc27
