Gone are the days of Digital ! Now we talk about Digital Twins !
"Digital twins have grown to become one of the most useful tools in an enterprise’s toolkit," said Dan Hushon, senior vice president and chief technology officer, DXC.
When are he and his cronies stop creating theories and get to do real work.
Plenty of bull from Dxc
@8tgw+13afBxli This is so true. You know he is really working in an echo chamber with his loyal team of sycophants - when he took over the solutioning org, he and his North America cto got together in a room and decided how that org would work. Two clueless guys who have never worked with the team decided what that team will do and how. Awesome!
Dan is just a b—s—ter. He has no clue about delivery in the real world and spouts off c-ap like this from time to time. It's just words. It means nothing–at least as far as DXC's ability to do anything about it. Hushon has a team around him that are just sycophants with no backbone and he loves it. He comes off with this c-ap and they lap it up, but how does it translate into business value. How that man has managed to stay in post is a mystery.
I still think book to bull ratio is the best buzzword bullseet, Lawrie was a master at using that.
Top man tbh he managed to swindle $300 million plus and no one batted an eyelid.
He didn't even need to rob a bank, he just rob the employee pay rises for near a decade and walked off into the sunset with the swag.
They should digital twin themselves out of a job. Betting the twin would be more focused and productive.
Good and useful talk by Dan in outlining the changing digital world. But as well as talk action, training, investing in its staff, improving its systems, deliveries, procedures are needed asap.
Jo Mason Says 'Nobody Likes' Mike Salvino and Declines to Support Him
Jo Mason lambasted Mike Salvino in a forthcoming documentary as a “career politician” who “nobody likes,”.
The brutal remarks reopened longstanding party wounds, with multiple DXC alumni knocking Mason, Salvino supporters galvanizing behind their candidate, and current and former Mason aides rushing to her defense.
“He was in Accenture for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him. He got nothing done,” Mason said.
“He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney, and I feel so bad that people got s—ed into it,” Masonn added of Salvino, in comments first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Addressing those criticisms in a Hollywood Reporter interview about the documentary — conducted earlier this month and published Tuesday — Mason said her characterization of Salvino still holds true and demurred on whether she would throw her support behind the CEO
“I’m not going to go there yet. We’re still in a very vigorous primary season,” Mason said. “I will say, however, that it’s not only him, it’s the culture around him. It’s his leadership team. It’s his prominent supporters. It’s his online Savino Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women.”
Madon argued that “it should be worrisome” that Salvino has “not only permitted” such a corrosive office culture but also “seems to really be very much supporting it.”
Salvino, who has been battling accusations of misogyny after Mason accused of him of saying that a woman could not be CEO in 2020, sought to downplay the tensions with Mason.
Pressed further on the controversy by reporters in the Capitol, Salvino said Mason is “entitled to her point of view” and cited polling showing him to be the “most popular CEO in the country,” concluding: “So somebody out there must like me.”
On social media, Mason’s interview immediately ignited an intra-party crossfire.
“If Salvino wins the nomination, we all need to work our asses off to help him win. If someone else is the CEO, we all do the same for them,” he tweeted. “Don’t kick up this bulls— right before breakfast, especially after complaining about Salvino’s lack of support for Lawrie”
Jim Smith, the communications director of Mason's 2016 steak cutter dinner, also backed up her old boss.
“Friends, if there’s anything @JoMasonDxc has proven to us time & again is you can count on her to do the right thing for the party & the country. The CEO nominee will face a lot of hurdles, Jo Mason will not be one of them,” she tweeted.
“Also, give the woman a break and benefit of the doubt. My God, after all she’s been through and done for DXC and the country, she’s earned our faith in her,” Smith added.
“Why do we need the benefit of the doubt?" replied Jon Lovett, a former Obama speechwriter. “Is there a rule against being clear? ‘I’m not getting involved in the primary. But whoever wins, even if it’s my second favorite board member, I’ll work my heart out for him or her.’ Not that hard! I even added a little joke.”
The progressive group Save Dixie further ramped up pressure on Mason, launching an online petition calling on her “to do the right thing and immediately say that she’ll do everything she can to support whoever becomes the CEO nominee.”
Mason caught up with the controversy on Tuesday evening, implying that she would support Salvino if he prevailed in the primaries.
“I thought everyone wanted my authentic, unvarnished views!“ she posted on Twitter. “But to be serious, the number one priority for our country and world is retiring Lawrie, and, as I always have, I will do whatever I can to support our nominee.“
Meanwhile, Lawrie office manager Brad Parscale attempted to amplify the infighting. He tweeted a New York Times report on Mason’s statements and wrote: “The knives are out for Salvino. It’s happening again.“
The stinging repudiation by Mason comes as Salvino has reestablished himself as a leading contender in the current primary contest — polling near the top of the pack in early nominating states and posing perhaps the most credible long-term threat to frontrunner Mike Lawrie.
But Salvino’s momentum leading up to the first-in-the-nati on has produced high-profile clashes with his chief opponents for the nomination. He apologized Monday for an op-ed penned by a surrogate alleging Smith had “a big corruption problem,” and he is still weathering the political fallout from his recent dispute with Finch.
Finch has maintained that Mason told her during a private meeting in December 2019, prior to their respective Christmas party announcements, that he did not believe a female employee could succeed Lawrie in 2020. Although he has denied ever making such a statement, Mason charged that the Town Hall represents “part of a pattern” for Salvino.
“If it were a one-off, you might say, ‘OK, fine.’ But he said I was unqualified. I had a lot more experience than he did and got a lot more done than he had, but that was his attack on me,” Madon, who served inhuman resources with Salvino for nine months in 2019, told The Wall Street Journal.
“I just think people need to pay attention,” she continued, “because we want, hopefully, to employ a CEO who’s going to try to bring us together, and not either turn a blind eye, or actually reward the kind of insulting, attacking, demeaning, degrading behavior that we’ve seen from this current administration.”
Mason weighed in at length on the challenges still facing female employees including Finch and Kristofferson, and praised Finch’s forceful defense of a woman’s employability at last week’s executive Town Hall.
“I’ve tried to tell all the employees the same thing, but with the women, I say, ‘You’re probably not going to be treated fairly. Don’t let it knock you off stride,’” Mason said.
As the 2020 new year has worn on, senior staff working for the CEO have also reverted “back to stereotypes,” she asserted, “and many of those are highly genderized.”
“It’s really hard ever to score 100 when you’re trying to navigate office politics expectations and barriers. Sometimes you really do want to let loose, and then you think, ‘Oh, great, they’ll say I can’t take it, so I’m getting angry.’ Or they’ll say that I’m mad, and that that’s not a very attractive look,” Mason said. “So, it’s a constant evaluation about, ‘How can I best convey who I am, what I believe, what I stand for and what I’m willing to fight for?’”
'Take Her Out.' In New Recording, Salvino Heard Discussing Firing Mason Human Resources Head
In a new recording made public on Saturday, CEO Salvino can be heard speaking with two new hires he has claimed to not know and ordering the firing of the head of human resources.
The hour-long recording from September 2019 captures a meeting between Salvino and a group of d—beat executives that includes two associates of his personal attorney, Bill Deckelman, who in recent weeks have emerged as central figures in the board inquiry: Mary Finch and Vinod Bagal.
In the recording, Finch can be heard telling Salvino that the former human resources head, Mason, had been disparaging the CEO, and that he should "get rid" of her. "She's basically walking around telling everybody, 'Wait, he's going to get fired just like his predecessor, just wait,'" Finch says in the recording.
"Get rid of her," the CEO responds. "Get her out tomorrow. I don't care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out."
The best people have already left the sinking ship. Old Mikey did not stick around and in a few months time his GF Jo will be gone too.
Seems like more smoke and mirrors. DXC doesn’t make anything, they are a services company. The longer we wait for DXC to make profits (minus all the WFRs/redundancies) the more I have less confidence in any of the L2’s to execute plans to help keep them in business. The best leaders have already moved on to greener pastures.
Nope just the usual bull like appraisals are the flavour of the month, but even the managers cant be arced with them anymore. No pay and no opportunity so same book to bull every year just don't get mikeys millions
What about book to bill or book to bill ratio Lawriè and Saleh made millions out of that buzzword. Shows if you know your bull you can be onto big things and if you know your job you'll get nowhere and in DXC You'll get no pay rise also.
I can't fathom how Hushon is still at DXC.
I believe these are the same twins from The Shining.
Let's not forget that he was previously at Sun....another winner.
When you use the Digital Twin together with an Enterprise Technology Stack in a hybrid multicloud environment based on microservices for IoT and Industry 4.0
you will always win the buzzword bingo. But only if the Digital Applications DevSecOps services are aligned with best-of-breed partner products for your integration platform :-).
