Have you ever been in one of those situations where it was very clear the person you were speaking with wasn’t listening to you?

Recently, I read an interesting article from MIT Tech Review which diagnosed why the social network Friendster failed – An Autopsy of a Dead Social Network. The research done by David Garcia and colleagues at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich concluded that networks with a significant percentage of participants who had two [...]

I’ve been lucky to have had some very interesting jobs during the course of my career. One stint as an applications auditor gave me lots of insight that applies directly in my current role as an analyst. In short, my teammates and I interviewed application developers and the customers for whom they had developed the [...]

Symposium week is always a mad rush of 1-1 meetings, presentations, workshops and chance encounters. But this year it seemed more intense, more frenzied. Perhaps the fact that the facilities were bursting at the seams added to this impression. And then there were the incessant warnings of hurricane Sandy which you can’t avoid when traveling in Florida. [...]

Knowledge management has gone through a metamorphosis but it seems not everyone got the memo. In our Gartner research, we’ve written about a shift in focus from knowledge capture to creating connections among knowledgeable people. The premise of the research is that the reason so many of the knowledge management initiatives started a decade a [...]

Some days it’s really, really fun to be an analyst. You get to talk to such interesting people – and it’s part of your day job. What could be better? I had one of those situations this week when I had the pleasure of reconnecting with Vineet Nayar, the CEO of HCL Technologies. My colleague [...]

It’s always a pleasure for me to attend an event where I don’t have to be “on” all the time. It’s delightful to sit back and listen to other people’s perspectives, to absorb a different set of attitudes about a topic. Last week, I attended Enterprise 2.0, or as it has now been renamed E2.0, [...]

I’ve been reflecting on the myriad of client meetings I had during the PPM and Enterprise Architecture Summits. When you have lots of discussions on a single topic in quick succession, it helps you to crystallize the common theme.

There’s no doubt that social media is fast becoming a complementary component to other corporate communication methods. In November 2011, we published a prediction that warned against ignoring incoming messages from social media. We projected that by 2014, social media will be just another communication channel that must be monitored and responded to. It is [...]

Every time I come back from a Gartner Summit – in this case two of them: Portals, Content and Collaboration Summit and the Customer 360 Summit – I am energized and excited. I’m energized by the enthusiasm of people who want to make their workplace a better place to work. I am excited that I [...]
