  Editor's Note  

Good morning,

Today we have in-depth pieces from two of Australia's most eloquent technology leaders.

First, Fairfax executive Andrew Lam-Po-Tang takes the CXO Challenge and outlines his plans to build a more flexible and reactive technology function at the publisher, while Fortescue Metals CIO Vito Forte asks whether the next generation is interested in what we'd call an "IT career".

-- Brett Winterford
