Subject: CIO Neal Sample: “All architecture is wrong.”

The CIO Hall of Famer on going where the data takes you

If you’ve listened to the first episode of our new Tech Whisperers podcast, you already know what a unique voice, perspective, and philosophy Neal Sample brings to digital leadership.


You’ll find more of that refreshing candor in my Q&A with Neal on the CIO Whisperers blog. After the show, we went deeper into some of his key leadership lessons and views on the technology landscape. And yes, he really said it: All architecture is wrong. He also explains why you should go where the data takes you—and why you shouldn’t get too invested in your ideas.
