This has been a month of thinking differently. I’ve been working a maverick research project with my colleague Deb Logan. We’ve been delving into the characteristics that epitomize a socially centered leader.

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 [...]

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. What I was surprised by is the mystical, magical and miraculous powers some people attach to social. [...]

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 [...]

I like my clients. Really. Most of them are wonderful people struggling with tough issues. They are overworked and resource-constrained, yet they soldier on trying to find solutions to wicked problems. They deal with conflicting management mandates and absurd deadlines with equanimity.

During the past week, I enjoyed a number of face to face meetings with clients from across a wide variety of industries.
