I Lost My Laptop
by Will Dick on Jul 24, 2008 - 04:04 PM read 9 times
Source: http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/?p=1775Last night I left my red knapsack, with my white MacBook inside, in the back of a taxi cab. Needless to say, I’m a little upset. But the thing that is so frustrating about it isn’t the possibility that it might have been stolen (by another passenger, the driver, someone at the taxi cab company), its the possibility that it is, even now, in the hands of some kind soul ... read more -

Source: http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/?p=1769A CNN article yesterday announced that MySpace will now be cooperating with OpenID. OpenID is a service that allows you to sign in to a variety of web accounts with one user name, password, and registration. Wordpress, AOL, Yahoo, and Google are just a few examples of participating websites. I haven't used OpenID yet, but it seems like a great service. I am always forgetting the different user ... read more -

Source: http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/?p=1762In the age of always on technology, which “allows” us to be connected to the office 24/7, it is getting harder and harder to determine when a personal and private activity is actually just as it’s described - personal and private. Just ask Colin Wrightman, Lara Logan, Max Mosley orLarry Craig, eachmentionedin a thought-provokingarticle in this morning’s Globe and Mail newspaper.

How Web 2.0, Facebook, and the Net Generation will change corporate security
by Brendan Peat on Jul 17, 2008 - 09:37 AM read 47 times
Source: http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/?p=1728In the last 20 some odd years corporate security has made some headway. Companies are now at the point where they are reasonably efficient at keeping hackers' out and letting employees in. The problem is that to get to this point the enterprise has had to put up walls in the name of safety and security, but at the cost of functionality and logic. The current Jericho model of security ( ... read more -

by Justin Papermaster on Jul 15, 2008 - 01:38 PM read 50 times
Source: http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/?p=1723An article on CNN.com explains the growing trend of web 2.0 usage in Congress. Leading the way is Rep. John Culberson of Texas. He uses twitter.com, qik.com, and utterz.com to reach his constituents. Culberson’s goal is to “Shine sunlight in every dark corner of the Congress, to make the Congress and the government as transparent as humanly possible.” Culberson isn’t alone. Many members of congress and politicians from all ... read more -

Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/?p=271I had a client experience the other day that got me thinking about IT professionals, Web 2.0 and the not-so-simple act of “keeping up” with today’s incredible pace of technology change. I was in an IT meeting with abouteighteenIT managers. It was my first meeting with this group. I noted that EVERY one of them brought laptop computers with them, opened them, and started working on them. I ... read more -

Some Suggestions for a CIO 2.0
by Vaughan Merlyn on Jun 30, 2008 - 04:12 PM read 95 times
Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/?p=267A few days ago I postedabout a client situation where the CIO had a strong sense of the possibilities and impact that Web 2.0 could have for his organization and the firm as a whole, but the small team he appointed to figure out the specifics quickly fell back on their traditional (and verywell-honed)IT competencies. This led to them thinking about: the business problem to be solved (rather ... read more -
Note to worshippers of the iPhone - closed to external innovation
by Jeff Milne on Jun 26, 2008 - 10:35 AM read 130 timesThought provoking interview discussing "generative" software and devices vs. closed devices here. Harvard Law School professor and tech guru Jonathan Zittrain warns of trouble in Apple's strategy. Excerpt: Since your book went to print, Apple has announced a Software Development Kit for the iPhone. Isn’t that good news for generative technology? Apple wants to have its cake and eat it too. Who doesn’t? But systemically, what it’s doing is a ... read more -
Atomic Units of Collaboration
by Roy Youngman on Jun 25, 2008 - 06:32 PM read 68 times
Source: http://www.ryoungman.net/?p=21In my last post, I suggested that groups of people could effectively collaborate on details if they had the mindset to do so, but most do not. In this post, I want to discuss a related but different skill and mindset required to collaborate on details: how to determine an atomic unit of detail to collaborate on. I can't seem to find much conversation ... read more -

But there's no business problem here.
by Vaughan Merlyn on Jun 24, 2008 - 07:38 AM read 457 times
Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/?p=262I recently had an interesting conversation with a consulting client. The CIO has a strong sense that Web 2.0 is going to be important to the business, and therefore to the IT organization. He can’t put his finger on why, or what it all means, or exactly what to do about it, but his instincts tell him it’s too important to ignore, and he’s invested time, effort and some ... read more -
IT Infrastructure, Options, and Cost-Benefit Analysis
by Vaughan Merlyn on Jun 23, 2008 - 01:39 PM read 219 times
Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/?p=260There was a piece on National Public Radio this morning that got me thinking about IT infrastructure funding. I think this is especially relevant as companies consider Web 2.0 technologies and ask the inevitable question - “What’s the value proposition?” It’s a great question, unless that question gets morphed (as it so often does) into “What’s the return on investment?” The NPR article was about the levees along the Mississippi ... read more -

, Elmore, Enterprise 2.0, Web 2.0
A recent study by CDW shows IT decision makers across government and corporate sectors worry about misuse and security: 31 percent worry that Web 2.0 will be used for personal use over work, 28 percent are concerned about information security, and 27 percent worry about employees wasting time. Security will continue to be addressed as new threats arise and are overcome, but personal use and wasting time are not ... read more

The Other Seat at the Table by Vaughan Merlyn on Jun 19, 2008 - 10:49 AM read 637 times Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/?p=258 |
One of the great clichs of the business-IT relationship is “having a seat at the table.” This is a cute, shorthand way of describing a business-IT relationship where IT is properly represented in the strategic leadership of the business (be that a business unit or the enterprise). When we see this condition working well, we often observe characteristics such as:
Business strategy formulation and IT strategy formulation are converged -
