CEO of @storj, Colby Winegar, has a solution to increase #cloud sustainability -- "create and store less #data". While our technology for storing data increasingly develops and becomes more complex, that doesn't necessarily mean we should endlessly store data.
The cloud needs a wake up call on sustainability.
The cloud technology industry and users need to realize that the legacy cloud is not as green as people think. Cloud service providers may run data centers more effectively than companies with on-premise storage, but it still has a drastic impact on the environment.

It doesn’t cost a dime.

But it’s the most valuable thing a leader can give:
Genuine appreciation.

You can offer competitive salaries, impressive perks, and sleek office spaces.

But if your team doesn’t feel valued?

They won’t stay.

Simply investing in #AI and cloud won't cut it – it's the training, communication, and #ChangeManagement that truly enable successful transformation.

Technology is just a means to an end – true transformation comes from culture and training paths effectively.
What CIOs need to secure beyond tech to successfully transform
One thing that unites CIOs is that transformation is achieved not with pure technology, but by managing change across the enterprise.

Authentic #leadership is built on purpose, values, and relationships.

✅ Purpose ↔ Passion: Lead with vision & inspiration.
✅ Values ↔ Behavior: Actions define culture.
✅ Relationships ↔ Connectedness: #Trust & openness drive success.

Balancing tech & #humanity is key.

Happy #EmployeeAppreciationDay!

Today is not about saying thank you. It’s an opportunity to consider how you demonstrate your appreciation all year.

By expressing #gratitude for their contributions, we create a #CompanyCulture where everyone feels respected, motivated, and *appreciated*.

As technology advances, embrace #humanity.

Tech initiatives should prioritize integrity and curiosity, focusing on people over technology. Ignoring mentorship and collaboration risks mere digitization rather than true transformation.

#Leaders understand that digitization is just a fraction of it.
