Every investor is looking for the “dream team” of executives to put money on. Often I find that experienced investors scan ahead to the management page of a business plan, even before they read the product description. That’s how important the people are. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) role is usually considered second only to the CEO, because financials are critical. An example is Lanham Napier, who joined Rackspace as Chief Financial Officer in 2000, just a few months before the technology industry hit rock bottom during the 2000 downturn. He is largely credited by Rackspace’s own management team as setting it on its path to profitability and success. In 2006, he was named Chief Executive Officer. Here are some key attributes of CFOs who fit the dream team definition, based on an article by Mark Macleod : “It’s all in the details” – A professional accounting designation (CA, CPA) is the foundation. A few years ago it was all the rage to have MBAs in the top finance role. These days, with Sarbanes-Oxley and all the new SEC regulations, an MBA does not begin to cover the accounting, process, and tax knowledge needed to steer a company’s finances

So the “great analyst roll-up” is in full swing, with Gartner’s announcement today to acquire another competitor, this time the Burton Group, for 56 big ones. This comes hot on the heels of my former firm, AMR Research, also being acquired by Gartner. I won’t go into the details of the mechanics of these mergers, as you can read exhaustive commentary, debate and analysis over at Carter Lusher’s blog. However, I did want to discuss what this means to our sourcing industry. Limited choice for alternative opinions

I was once nearly thrown out of a brainstorming session at IDEO and it marked me for life. No kidding. I behaved the way I always behave at a meeting–agreeing and disagreeing with the participants. So, in reaction to a comment, I said “yes, but….” and was pummeled by the IDEOers for my transgression. My sin was not knowing the ritual of social engagement that generated new ideas.

Tip #1: Don’t Stuff Keywords All Over the Place Just don’t. It looks awful and your readers won’t appreciate it. It’s OK if you want to put your keywords here and there (whenever it makes sense) but don’t overdo it. Your goal is to get buyers, not just visitors. You’ll repel your visitors if all they see on your website is keywords. Tip #2: Give Too Much Away for FREE Everybody is putting out good info these days

My picks for favorite startup investments in the new year include green, biotech, and renewable energy (also called alternative energy or sustainable energy). In previous articles, I’ve put some definition around the green and biotech investment categories, so I’ll try to do the same here for renewable energy. Renewable energy is any source that can be produced cleanly, will not disappear like fossil fuels, and is less polluting. The Clean Technology venture capital sector, which includes alternative energy, recently moved up with an 89 percent increase in dollars over the previous quarter. Here are the key components, as summarized by the New Alternatives Fund : Solar power – Solar cells produce electricity from the sun. Conversion efficiency of silicon cells has increased from 4% in the early eighties to over 20% for the latest technologies. The cells create no pollution when they generate electricity

Private equity investments in India, which saw a sharp dip in 2009, could bounce back in 2010 with several large global and local funds in active talks with promoters and managements of firms to put in money.

If you are an entrepreneur for the first time, or entering a new business area, it’s usually worth your time to assemble an Advisory Board of two or three executives who have travelled that road before. But if you select the wrong people, or use them incorrectly, the impact will not be positive for your company or your image.

It’s supposed to be another ordinary night for you until you’ve picked up the phone and heard expletives on the other line. All of a sudden, you’ve got mixed emotions.

In a recent article by Reena Jana, Business Week spotlighted the concept of ‘Jugaad’ , a Hindi slang word for doing things ‘fast and cheap’ by using innovation to get around conventional barriers and focusing on exactly what the real need is rather than the more aspirational requirement that may be the starting point. As an approach to building and delivering IT requirements in the current tough economic period this is of course immediately recognisable as an interesting concept. The article quotes a number of well-known companies that claim to be making use of Jugaad and points to training by Indian management gurus. Actually the term goes deeper than this. It means making do with scarce resources, or ‘getting it done’ anyway you can
