Computer Weekly today celebrates its 40th anniversary
year by moving to a new compact format and unveiling an exciting
programme of editorial innovations.
The changes allow you to continue to enjoy all of Computer
Weekly’s award-winning, in-depth journalism in a more practical and
convenient package.
Alongside the new look and size, we have introduced several
design innovations to help you to get even more value from your
Computer Weekly.
We have simplified the presentation of the editorial content.
Each of the main stories now comes with a summary box to help you
assess its relevance at a glance.
Added to this, we have adopted bolder, clearer signage
throughout the publication to help you quickly identify and find
the information you need.
We have also extended our weekly in-depth coverage of the issues
that matter most to you. Each week you will find more crucial
analysis of the week’s big stories, thought-provoking opinion, and
business-critical case study and research articles.
Over the next 12 months, as part of Computer Weekly’s 40th
anniversary editorial programme, we will identify, analyse and
debate the current and emerging issues that will define the agenda
for the IT professional community.
To kick off Computer Weekly’s 40th anniversary year
celebrations, we are introducing a clutch of regular new features
to our editorial coverage.
In today’s issue, we launch Computer Weekly’s CIO Index. This is
based on exclusive quarterly research conducted by Computer Weekly
among more than 100 leading CIOs into their views on the topics of
the day, and the IT and business priorities they and their
organisations face (see page 14).
Each month we will share with you some of the revealing findings
of this ground-breaking research programme.
In the Management section, you will find the first of a regular
series of articles exploring the power of effective decision making
with a look at the critical choices that have shaped the careers of
leading IT professionals. The series called
Crucial Decisions starts with Brian Jones, former global CIO of
Allied Domecq.
