IT Manager in Construction2 years ago

In the role I occupy at my company, I straddle the line between strategic and operational responsibilities, with an even split of 50% for each. However, in both domains, there's a pervasive element of transformation. I've never put much faith in these divisions as a means to personal growth; they serve more as a beacon for delineating responsibilities.
You cannot make strategic decisions without fully comprehending the operational advantages and disadvantages, as well as the costs and efforts entailed in the process of transformation.

Executive Director of Technology in Healthcare and Biotech2 years ago

I'm mostly split as well: 50% Transformational, 45% Strategic, 5% Functional if I had to ballpark it.

Senior IT Executive in Education6 years ago

I'm split between transformational and strategic pretty evenly. This team is one that needs direction, but needs to be in a place to follow it as well.

CIO in Consumer Goods6 years ago

40% efforts goes towards transformation, 35% strategy and rest goes with functional.

What do you consider a best practice for retaining/releasing unnecessary domain names? In this case, specialized domains tied to marketing campaigns.

While the expense is small and there is some possibility for a bad actor to acquire and use for malicious activity, I question keeping domains of this sort "forever."
