Bill's the man

Today, my bosses boss, Bill MacGowan, was featured in the Executive Boardroom publication sponsored by Jonathan Schwartz. He very clearly articulated the business reasons why alignment is so critical to operations. Bottom line, it's very expensive not to.

His recommendation:

Companies need to create an independent, centralized group that has the authority and corporate-level financing to create and execute a datacenter and lab space strategy.

Bill runs people and places (P&P) in Sun. This includes HR and Workplace Resources (WR), the BU that I am in. Sean Connellan, who I work for, is the Sr Vice President that runs WR. I run the independent group that executes this strategy for Sun. It's called GDS.
