Your talent is the backbone of any digital workforce transformation. It’s only by diving into the needs of your own employees and by fulfilling their true expectations that you’ll be able to create a productive, engaged and loyal talent base. HR departments everywhere, and particularly those in the largest companies in the world, are accountable for a vast employee community. It’s up to the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) to leap into the breach to turn modern-day challenges into opportunities….

After another high-powered, inspirational summit, Power Trip 2019 has come to a close. Alongside Intel, we powered Marie Claire’s annual all-female conference as part of our global commitment to celebrate female leadership. 36 hours of networking, opportunity, and exciting surprises connected leaders from coast to coast. Dedicated to gathering powerful women in every industry to grow, learn, and share what they know, we were there powering them every step along the way. That’s why we, alongside Intel, turned their flight to…

Great partnerships are built upon shared beliefs and long-term commitment. In my own life, there’s no better example of a partnership than the 19 years I’ve shared with my wife Jennifer. We started our life journey together as high school sweethearts. Professionally, I’ve seen Dell and Alienware become a beacon of how partnerships should be built – based on trust and commitment with a “community first” approach. Within the realm of Esports and gaming, core values of “listening and learning” are central…

Each year on November 11, Veteran’s Day is a reminder to honor and share our gratitude for the remarkable contributions made by those who have served or are serving our country in the armed services. When I think about those who have served, including so many employees across Dell Technologies, what stands out to me is the consistency of their commitment to serve others. I see it every day among our team members who are veterans or are family members…

He’s taken some of the most iconic images of public figures ranging from former presidents to Rihanna, Stevie Wonder and Willie Nelson. As a #DellInsideCircle member, Mark uses Dell Precision mobile workstations daily in his studio and on the go. We sat down with him to hear his thoughts on the role of technology in art and how the tools of his trade allow his subjects to shine…

As a leader in technology and innovation, we’re changing how people work together. We recently told you about the exciting renovations made to our dining and office spaces as part of a 3-part series. Now, our 3rd addition includes revamping the very spaces we do some of our most important collaborative work: meeting spaces. What does the future of collaboration look like? Is it virtual face-to-face meetings, better technology, more intuitive meeting spaces? With four generations in today’s workforce, the…

We are often inspired by creators who see the world in the widest range of colors. Emerging technologies and tools continue to provide content creators with more precise, accurate and consistent color experiences, maximizing their creative potential. A recent Dell-sponsored IDC research study1 further concluded that with the adoption of immersive technologies, it will necessitate more advanced monitors designed to support new emerging workloads like data-centric and design tasks. As the world’s number one monitor company2, we are relentless in…

As a leader in technology and business, we believe investing in women is a winning strategy that ultimately helps boost the global economy. Women make impactful contributions to all aspects of our business and we’re committed to accelerating the powerful role of women in the workforce and economic growth. We’re helping provide better access to areas where women have historically been underserved: technology, capital and networks. So, what happens when women at the top of their craft are brought together…

This is the fifth installment of an ongoing series “Sweet on Dell Technologies.” Co-authored with Jeff Clarke, Vice Chairman, Products and Operations, Dell Technologies. A few weeks ago, I was in New York for our Dell Technologies 2019 Business Update. It’s a given that we reviewed our company strategy and financials, but what we also wanted attendees to take away is the depth of our innovation. Innovation is nothing new for our business – it’s what our customers expect from…

The grueling summer heat in Austin is ending, and the fall breeze is finally starting to creep into the forecast. I love the fall because it has always had its share of traditions. Whether it is carving pumpkins – or going apple picking – or dressing up for Halloween. For me personally, the fall brings an abundance of events in which to celebrate and be thankful, birthdays, anniversaries and of course family gatherings during holidays. Our planet also embraces traditions….

In 2012, the United Nations established International Day of the Girl Child. The 2019 theme is “GirlForce: unscripted and unstoppable” and celebrates the achievements by, with and for girls. At Dell Technologies, we believe that girls are unstoppable and our social impact strategy includes a wide-reaching focus on improving lives and advancing opportunities for youth. Empowering girls (and women) is critical to business and workforce success—companies with top gender diversity are 21% more likely to have financial returns above industry peers.[1]…

A few months ago, I read a Wall Street Journal article which really stuck with me. It was focused on the workplace divide when it comes to adopting new technology. The main takeaways? Tech resistance is not based on age and workers need to see how new technology will benefit them for optimal adoption. Recent research conducted by Dell with IPSOS, an independent firm, provides a case in point: Despite the understanding from employees that passwords protect their business’ data, 62% of employees of all ages…

Dell’s Experience Innovation Group (EIG) believes the future of personal computing lies in the combination of hardware and software to deliver immersive, predictive experiences. Recognizing that form factor plays a significant role in how we interact with technology. We began exploring multi-screen devices around a decade ago and have been working with partners to explore this deeper the last few years. Modern, smart and responsive devices have the potential of unlocking new ways of working; encouraging collaboration and boosting productivity….

In today’s “always-on”, digital world, business-to-consumer (B2C) experiences are fundamentally changing business-to-business (B2B) expectations. Delivering great products and services, while important, are now table stakes. So, what will be our ultimate differentiator? The experience we deliver to all of our customers. It’s been proven that leaders in customer service outperform the Dow by 93%, the Fortune 500 by 20% and the NASDAQ by 335%.[1] That should not be a surprise, given 74% of companies say they’ll pay more for a…

The following is a guest post from Meghan E. Butler, founder of Frame+Function, and contributor to Fast Company and Thrive Global. There is something to be said for a hotel ballroom full of people supporting women. But not just any people, but those who are the smartest at what they do. Whose brains and businesses buck the outdated conventions of a legacy economy. At the Dell Women Entrepreneur’s Network (DWEN) summit in Singapore this July, we experienced something quite exceptional…

By Karen Gilchrist, CNBC, July 16th, 2019 The San Francisco Bay Area has overtaken New York City as the most accommodative place in the world to be a female entrepreneur, according to a new study. Efforts to eliminate the so-called bro culture, increased access to funding for women and ongoing tech developments were some of the ways in which the Bay Area leapfrogged its East Coast rival to rank top of the 2019 Women Entrepreneur Cities (WE Cities) Index. Indeed,…

Route Fifty, Emma Coleman, July 25, 2019 Small businesses have been called the “engine of cities,” contributing to economic growth, boosting employment opportunities, and sparking innovation. There are 30.2 million small businesses in the U.S., and they employ a whopping 47.5% of the private workforce.  More than 12 million of those companies in the U.S. are owned by women—and that number has risen dramatically in the past decade. But while the number of female entrepreneurs has increased, many cities could be doing more to create a better culture for women in business, according to a new…

We’re aligned and interconnected to drive synergy and joint engineering across our businesses. We’re about pooling our resources, cross-selling together and, ultimately, creating value for all stakeholders. Compare this with your typical conglomerate, and it’s apples and oranges. Conglomerates are combinations of businesses operating in typically unrelated industries under one corporate roof. More and…

Ten years ago the first DWEN (Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network) Summit was hosted in Shanghai. Two main factors shaped the idea of DWEN – the fact that entrepreneurs are the force that historically leads the economy out of financial crisis, and that women business owners still struggled to access the capital, networks and resources they need to take their businesses to the next level. Fast forward to today, as delegates gathered from around the world for DWEN 2019 in Singapore,…

I still remember our very first DWEN (Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network) Summit. 50 inspiring women from 11 countries joined us on June 19, 2010, in Shanghai, China. The goal? To collectively discuss how we could remove unique barriers for women entrepreneurs to succeed…namely, access to capital, technology, networks and advocacy. Fast forward to this past week, nine years later…we hosted our 10th annual DWEN Summit in Singapore, and our network has grown to more than 5,000 women from 42 countries!…

Technology that drives human progress is at the core of our mission. In Brazil, our Research, Development and Innovation Center (LEAD) is developing assistive tools to make technology accessible to everyone, fostering employability and professional growth for people with disabilities – including our own team members. The LEAD team, located in Fortaleza, Brazil, recently launched a new project developing assistive technologies to increase the inclusion of people with different disabilities in the production line of the Dell Brazil Factory, our manufacturing…

How do we make the world a better place? Just the enormity of that statement may deter any one person from acting because the task, on the surface, seems so daunting. We’re battling poverty, hunger, environmental issues and the list goes on. But as with any huge project, it is important to start small. To take a step back and understand the root of what you’re trying to accomplish, how you are going to tackle it, and what tools and…

This post is co-authored by Brian Reaves, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Dell Technologies Today Dell Technologies released its final progress report against our 2020 Legacy of Good Plan.

With the summer time in full swing, most of us are thinking about vacation, beaches, and finding ways to escape on our next adventure. My idea of an adventure is embedding myself in nature by going on a nice long bike ride. It’s important to spend time with nature to remind us of its beauty, fragility and our responsibility to protect it. Advancing sustainability is a key focus for our 2030 vision. We have a responsibility to protect and enrich…

The latest Future of Jobs Report by the World Economic Forum suggests that the rapid evolution of machines and algorithms in the workplace could create 133 million new roles between now and 2022. That’s a heck of a lot of jobs to fill. This is a great problem to have, but a problem none the less if we are not in a position to take advantage of the opportunity. According to the quarterly Gartner Emerging Risks Survey, talent shortage rated as one…
