Any Gartner analyst knows that interest in particular topics waxes and wanes, sometimes for discernible reasons and sometimes we don’t know why. This week’s topic was knowledge management, or as the aficionados call it, KM. The first client call was a review of a KM strategy and then other discussions progressed from there. What comes up frequently – and did again [...]

In an earlier post Beware: The Seduction of Social, I commented that the “provide and pray” approach for social technology doesn’t work. While working on the Business Gets Social scenario for fall symposium, I explored two critical uncertainties: how organizations will allocate resources and how work will be executed. During this exploration, it became evident [...]

After a bit of a holiday break, I’m back from the Gartner PPM Summit. Is was my first attendance at one of these events and I quite enjoyed talking with so many people who were so committed to the successful execution of the organization’s critical initiatives.

I spent a delightful day at the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium (#MITCIO) last week. It was delightful because I had the luxury of listening to a roster of informative speakers discussing a wide variety of issues ranging from cloud (of course!) to analytics. It was also nice to be able to attend the event without [...]

One of the people I had breakfast with during the Portals, Content and Collaboration Summit was from the insurance industry.

I’ve just returned from the co-located Portals, Content & Collaboration and the Customer 360 Summits. We were encouraged the significant increase in attendance. More attendees than last year and more senior-level people. By all counts, people went home with new information and having made some new friends. My photo of the sculpture at LA Live [...]
