• CFO? Empowered, sure… is he/she smart on cloud services?

• Managers? Empowered? Smart on technology & cloud Services? Is it his/her job to tell you HOW to solve current business problems? Is that what you want… to be micro managed?

In the words of Carol Meyrowitz (CEO TJX)

“Teaching and developing our next generation of leaders remain a top priority because we understand that our ability to achieve our future goals relies on the talent and people within our organization” http://www.tjx.com/about.asp
