Joining the company in 1967, he ascended to the role of Executive Vice President of Innovation and Technology until his retirement in 2008, leaving an indelible mark on the technological landscape. Recognized for his transformative contributions, he was honored as an honorary IBM Fellow, the company's highest technical accolade. Nick's influence extends beyond IBM; he is a member of esteemed boards, including the National Commission on the Future of Higher Education and the National Association of Corporate Directors, and serves as a Director at Liberty Mutual Group. In addition to his professional achievements, Nick is an author, co-writing the memoir "If Nothing Changes, Nothing Changes" with Michael DeMarco, offering insights gleaned from a lifetime of innovation and leadership.


    In this episode, Art and Nicholas Donofrio discuss:

    • The art of embracing change and leading innovation in Nick's 60-year career
    • Transitioning from a task-oriented manager to an enabler
    • Transformative leadership in times of crisis
    • The pivotal role of ownership in leadership


    Key Takeaways:

    • Success is in the hands of those who choose to deal with change; the better you deal with change, the better things go, emphasizing the power of embracing change and using free will to lead and drive positive outcomes.
    • Nick's leadership evolution, marked by a pivotal moment in addressing a poor performance review early in his career, underscores the importance of becoming an "enabler" as a leader, emphasizing the shift from micromanagement to empowering others to reach their full potential.
    • IBM's story of overcoming crisis underscores the importance of embracing change, taking calculated risks, and having the courage to challenge conventional wisdom.
    • Effective leadership entails owning both successes and failures, acknowledging the loneliness that comes with difficult decisions, and prioritizing resilience, innovation, and inclusivity in shaping a better future.


    "If you're not the enabler-in-chief, my suspicion is you're probably not going to be anything for very much longer." — Nicholas Donofrio

  • Don Marinelli and Art Langer Discuss the Metaverse

    Don Marinelli and Art Langer Discuss the Metaverse
    Dec 15 2023
    About Don Marinelli: Don Marinelli, a co-founder of the Carnegie Mellon Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) alongside the late Randy Pausch, has a distinguished career spanning 31 years at Carnegie Mellon University. As a Professor of Drama and Arts Management, he played a pivotal role in establishing groundbreaking academic programs. His acclaimed book, "The Comet and the Tornado," chronicles the dynamic collaboration with Pausch in creating the ETC, recognized globally as Carnegie Mellon’s “Dream Fulfillment Factory.” Don continues to inspire as a visiting and adjunct professor and sought-after speaker in the fields of arts, media, and technology.In this episode, Art and Don Marinelli discuss:The evolution of the metaverseThe metaverse's impact on digital technology, disruption, and leadershipThe business landscape of the metaverseNavigating the metaverse economyKey Takeaways:Navigating the digital media explosion, Don foresaw the transformative power of interactivity through video games, leading him to explore the Metaverse—a shared 3D virtual space blending reality and digital realms. Coined in Neal Stephenson's 1992 novel "Snow Crash," the ownership of the Metaverse is complex, with 154 distinct metaverses complicating the landscape. In the rapidly advancing digital landscape, the metaverse, driven by XR technologies and immersive online experiences, emerges as a transformative space offering new opportunities for socialization, entertainment, education, and commerce, unlocking unprecedented business prospects, despite lingering skepticism and resistance from older generations.The metaverse is reshaping industries, with applications ranging from VR training for companies like BMW to its pivotal role in social media, driven by substantial investments from major corporations and an anticipated 38% annual growth in the gaming market through 2027.Despite its allure, the metaverse faces challenges such as privacy concerns, security risks, and the absence of standardized interoperability, while also requiring a significant increase in computing power, making it imperative for both corporations and governments to navigate these complexities for widespread adoption. "The attraction of the metaverse to me is its ability to connect many different individuals from many corporate locations into the same virtual world and not just any odd line virtual world, like Zoom, but a persistent world, a virtual world that doesn't end when you shut down your headset or computer. It's one in which real objects and virtual objects coexist." — Don MarinelliConnect with Don Marinelli:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donaldmarinelliFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/don.marinelli.90/Book (The Comet & the Tornado: Reflections on the Legacy of Randy Pausch): https://www.amazon.com/Comet-Tornado-Reflections-Legacy-Pausch/dp/140277088XConnect with Art:Website: http://www.alanger.com/Email: art.langer@columbia.eduBook: Developing a Path to Data Dominance: Strategies for Digital Data-Centric EnterprisesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/arthur.m.langer/Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
