  • The Rise of the Chief Digital Officer Key Considerations for Driving Digital Growth from the C-Suite
    The rise of the Chief Digital Officer Key considerations for driving digital growth from the C-suite CEO CFO CIO CMO CDO CSO PEOPLE HAVE AN ALMOST INSATIABLE DESIRE TO ADOPT INNOVATION THAT DRIVES CONVENIENCE IN THEIR LIVES. SO WE COULDN’T AFFORD TO SIT BACK AND SAY, WE HAVE LEGACY SYSTEMS. WE’VE GOT TO BE CONNECTED TO THE CUSTOMER AND MOVE WITH THE CUSTOMER AT THE SPEED THE CUSTOMER WANTS. - RIZWAN KHALFAN CHIEF DIGITAL OFFICER, TD BANK GROUP (CANADA) FOREWORD When I was first asked to review this paper, I was excited to see Peter engage the issue head on. This is a topic that is long overdue for discussion – particularly in light of the ambiguity and contention that surrounds the definition of a Chief Digital Officer (CDO). As this paper took shape, I was reminded of a summit I attended 18 months ago with a group of 50 top CDOs in Silicon Valley. The first hour of the session was a vigorous debate about what a CDO is, should be or could be. My observation and conclusion at the time was that there is no “one size fits all” definition that can be applied to this still emerging role. That said, despite the discomfort of the session, I honed my own understanding of the role and what appeared to be the emergence of three types of CDOs. THREE TYPES OF CDOS 1 2 3 Ex-agency Digital transformation Technologists Traditional interactive strategists Those who view digital marketing leaders that Change agents chartered primarily from an enterprise view digital as “digital with the reinvention of perspective – most often marketing” and engagement their organizations (e.g., in reporting to the CIO.

  • April 24, 2020 the Honorable Donald J. Trump President the White
    6133 Highway 311 Houma, Louisiana 70360 Phone: 985.876.5600 Fax: 985.876.5611 [email protected] www.houmachamber.com April 24, 2020 The Honorable Donald J. Trump President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: I want to thank you for your tremendous support for our American energy industry and your leadership during the current public health and economic crises. The Gulf of Mexico plays an integral role in producing the energy to fuel America and in Louisiana, our communities are the epicenter for servicing this offshore oil and gas industry. Now, during these unprecedented times we need your bold leadership to save over 500,000 jobs that are directly tied to the offshore oil and gas industry. Our Association… Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce 6133 Hwy 311 Houma, LA 70360 Louisiana supports 17% of our nation’s energy production and we serve as the epicenter for servicing the offshore oil and gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico. Louisiana is home to many small and medium-sized companies who provide the goods and services to the offshore oil and gas companies and depend on a healthy and thriving offshore industry. In Louisiana 50,000 jobs are at risk. The demise of the offshore oil and gas industry is having a direct and severe impact on our service companies. Since the decline in oil and gas prices, our local businesses have had to make drastic cost reductions. And now today, due to the current crises many of Louisiana’s local service companies are taking draconian measures, such as laying off or furloughing employees, just to stay in business.

  • Dan Brouillette Deputy Secretary of Energy
    Proclamation Presidential Proclamation on Martin Luther King, Jr., Federal Holiday, 2019 Issued on: January 18, 2019 One hundred years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, the great Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., took to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and shared his vision of an America lifted from the “quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.” His extraordinary message that momentous day in August of 1963 stirred to action Americans of every race and creed, and it continues to reverberate in the hearts and minds of patriotic citizens across our great land. Today, as we pause to mark the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we recommit ourselves to the advancement of equality and justice for all Americans, and to the full realization of his worthy dream. In the United States of America, every citizen should have the opportunity to build a better and brighter future, and, as President, I am committed to expanding opportunity for all Americans. We have added more than 5 million new jobs to the economy over the past 2 years and unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and Americans without a high school degree have reached record lows. Importantly, we have also worked tirelessly to reform our Nation’s criminal justice system, so that those who have been incarcerated and paid their debt to society are given a second chance at life. Last year, I was proud to sign into law the First Step Act, which will prepare inmates to successfully rejoin society and effect commonsense reforms to make our justice system fairer for all Americans.

  • Advancing the Landscape of Clean Energy Innovation
    Advancing the Landscape of Clean Energy Innovation February,February 20192018 Prepared for Breakthrough Energy Coalitionby by IHS Markit and Energy Futures Initiative Advancing the Landscape of Clean Energy Innovation, February 2019 1 Foreword We are pleased to submit our report, “Advancing the Landscape of Clean Energy Innovation.” In this report we describe today’s U.S. ecosystem of clean energy innovation from the perspectives of technological potential, investment patterns, institutional roles, and public policy. The report identifies critical strengths and weaknesses of this ecosystem and offers recommendations for making that ecosystem more effective. It examines the different technology readiness stages through which innovation passes and the importance of feedback among those stages. It also discusses the significant opportunities to accelerate the pace of clean energy innovation that are presented by rapid advances occurring today across a myriad of technologies originating outside the energy sector. We would like to emphasize three observations from our report. • First, the U.S. has shown over many decades an unparalleled capacity to nurture energy innovation. This capacity reflects a rich and durable collaboration among government, universities, research institutions, industry, and entrepreneurs. This collaboration is grounded in the belief that energy innovation contributes importantly to economic growth, energy security, and environmental stewardship. • Second, even with our capacity to innovate, and even with the emergence of innumerable technological opportunities, there are significant challenges in moving forward with clean energy technology. These challenges arise from the sheer size and complexity of existing systems, the degree to which these systems are embedded in our economy, and the high public expectations of safety and reliability they must meet.

Dan Brouillette, Secretary U.S. Department of Energy 1000 Independence Avenue, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20585 Re: 60-Day Notice Letter Regarding DOE Failure to Meet Mandatory Deadlines for Reviewing and Amending Product Efficiency Standards Pursuant to Energy Policy and Conservation Act (“EPCA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 6291, et seq.

  • The Paris Accord and Climate Change the President Has
    The Paris Accord and Climate Change The President has announced that he will withdraw the United States from the Paris Accord, which entered into force November 4, 2016. According to Article 28 of the Accord, the U.S. must wait three years from the November 4, 2016 date to make written notification that it will withdraw from the Accord. The United States then must wait at least an additional year from the date of this written notification to leave the Accord. Hence, given these conditions written into the Accord, U.S. voters awaiting the 2020 presidential election will have the opportunity to decide as a major political issue what actions the United States should take about the Paris Accord and climate change. The President’s announcement of his intention to withdraw from the Paris Accord generated substantial criticism from G-20 national leaders during their last meeting July 7-8 2017 in Hamburg, Germany. Those leaders, other than the US President, have indicated unanimous support for implementing the Paris Accord. The leaders of the European Union and China state they will move ahead with plans to implement the Accord, whether or not the United States remains a signatory. The Paris Accord states as one of its objectives “holding the increase in the global temperature to well below 2 degrees C above the pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees C above pre- industrial levels”. This wording was negotiated in recognition that the Earth (and its present and future populations) will undergo profound and insupportable warming, further acidification of the oceans, and significant sea level rise threatening the world’s coastal communities unless the world’s greenhouse gas emissions are brought under control.
