How virtualization could radically simplify and streamline IT management
Connected Digest interviews Dave Buchholz, Ed Jimison and Jim Sutorka
Intel IT has developed an initial design of the Virtual User Environment (VUE), an approach that could transfer the way IT departments deliver computing to employees. VUE uses a managed, virtualized IT "container" that runs on any capable client hardware and allows IT to stream applications and user data on top of the operating system.
With the VUE in place, employees could be enabled to choose or purchase their preferred system without the need for Intel IT to build and support client PCs. Employees could then use a variety of different devices to access IT services while also running personal applications.
Can you VUE me now?
Do you prefer Mac computers, but work in an office that only has PCs? What if you could buy your own computer and mobile device and use it for work? Imagine an IT department that doesn't need to track assets. Learn how this will become a reality in this month's feature story.
Considering many of us stay in the workforce longer than in the past, working with people from multiple generations is becoming more common. We're fortunate to have Cam Marston, author of Motivating the "What's in it for me?" Workforce: Managing Across the Generational Divide, answering the challenging question of how to work with people who grew up in five different decades.
A reader struggles with managing his time and asks for your help. He would appreciate hearing from you about what works for you so that time doesn't control you.
Your feedback is valuable, and we read every single message. Keep up the good work. Your feedback helps make this newsletter more beneficial to you and to the rest of our readers. Of course, when you write us, we'll enter your name into a drawing for a chance to win Bushnell - 8 x 30 Digital Binoculars with 2.1MP Camera.

This Issue's Dilemma
Help! I need more time!
Since it's impossible to add another hour to the 24-hour day, I need an
alternative. How can I find time to do all the things I need to complete at
work? No doubt, many managers/supervisors deal with this challenge. How have you
overcome the "I can't get everything done" syndrome?
How do you handle the generation
gap within a single team?
I manage a team that consists of
employees from Generation Y, Generation X and the Baby Boom. Lately, I've been
noticing potential issues surrounding the "generational gap." Sometimes, it’s
hard for seasoned managers to deal with youth and vice versa. It seems like
managers should work harder to bridge this gap and manage for change in
corporate culture.
Or maybe I'm reading too much into this, and it's more of an
issue of dealing with individual personalities than generations. But then again,
just because we always do something one way in a corporation doesn’t mean it’s
the best way. Should I take steps to manage the generation gap, or am I just not
grasping the situation correctly?
