Straight Talk

Straight Talk is HCL’s thought leadership platform – magazines, website, videos, Tweet chats and oth

Straight Talk is a multi-media forum for the peer-to-peer exchange of experience-based insights among senior technology leaders, designed to help them find solutions to current challenges, drive business results, and advance their careers.

Straight Talk has featured the thinking of executives from more than 150 global organizations, including Merck, Deutsche Bank, AT&T, Boeing, Lafarge, Biogen, EMI Music, Electrolux, Microsoft, SAP, Capital One, and The World Bank. As a complement to these practitioner points of view, Straight Talk also offers in-depth interviews with technology and business thought leaders, including Malcolm Gladwell, Thomas Davenport, Nicholas Carr, Tim Brown, and Andrew McAfee.

Our passion for “practitioner thought leadership” has been validated through numerous awards, including the ITSMA Diamond Award, which recognized Straight Talk as the IT industry’s top thought leadership initiative.
