About the Guest

David McCue

Corporate Vice President and Chief Information Officer of Computer Science Corp (CSC)

Episode Overview

Among other topics, David discusses the following issues with Metis Strategy:
  • David’s role as Global CIO and Corporate Vice President of Computer Sciences Corporation, and his primary responsibilities of overseeing the overall IT environment, supporting go-to-market initiatives, and overseeing the organization’s global security posture
  • CSC’s three-legged approach to governance with CIOs embedded in each business, major geography area, and global function (e.g., finance, HR, legal, etc.) and the effective collaboration between these areas
  • The emphasis on creating more standards around processes as opposed to technology, and how global enterprise solutions need to be globally deployable, enterprise scalable, and implemented in a timely manner
  • Knowledge management and the mechanisms to spread pockets of best practices including social networking, a portfolio governance board, as well as formal communities
  • David’s non-traditional path to becoming a CIO,  how he approaches IT from a business perspective first and foremost, and how individuals seeking to work in the management aspect of IT should have experience running portions of the business and have a reasonable understanding of finance
  • Eye on the trends: Mobility, and how it enables individuals to be able to do anything, anytime and anywhere; CSC’s bring your own device program; analytics that enable seeing data in large amounts, and how it enables near real-time answers to business queries; and the importance of security in terms of protecting intellectual property so as to maintain a competitive advantage
