Interview with Robert Swannell chairman M&S / Where are all the tech women? / How bowling brings us together

In the latest edition of our View From the Top series we interview Robert Swannell, chairman of one of the most respected brands on the high street - Marks & Spencer. In this fascinating interview he talks to Carol Rosati about his early life and influences, his career in banking and his appointment to M&S. The interview is in podcast and text format.

Elsewhere we launch the results of our global CIO Survey. Budgets are up (a bit), priorities have changed (towards digital), but with 93% of CIOs being male, we ask - where are all the tech women?

We also bring you perspectives on building global teams (through bowling, of all things), our GenY blog, the ExecJobIndex (slight drop since last month) and our book review of Dangerous Ideas (great title).
