I’m pretty sure nobody noticed the fact that I was ‘off the air’ for about a month. And I’m certain that nobody cared!

In the first post in this series, I provided some brief context for ‘change leadership’ (a term I find more apt than ‘change management.’) I also introduced a caveat about linear, sequential, ‘programmatic’ change methodologies and briefly discussed the emergence over the last 15 years or so, of a more organic and emergent view of [...]

In my first post in this series, “Design Thinking 2.0: How Web 2.0 Might Foster and Enable an Innovation Revolution” I summarized the concepts of Design Thinking and raised the question of how Web 2.0 might enable increased innovation.

One of the ‘gifts’ I’m enjoying in my semi-retirement is more time pursuing my musical hobbies – including performing with local musicians and friends. That creative outlet reinforces for me, at the deepest level, how much good musical performance demands intense listening. This is so relevant to my ‘professional’ world of IT management consulting for [...]

I also suggested that the ways of designing and executing an IT Operating Model in a Web 2.0 context are quite different from traditional approaches. In Part 2, I outlined the major elements of an [...]

First, in the interests of full disclosure, the title for this blog was inspired the excellent blog, Wierarchy, and its latest post on Exploring the HR Management Framework for Enterprise 2.0. Note, I have changed the title from “an” to “the” as I feel there are multiple possible management frameworks for IT, and from “Management [...]

The highly respected Dion Hinchliffe proclaimed late last week that we were in the midst of, “The Year of the Shift to Enterprise 2.0“ I don’t say “highly respected” lightly or with sarcastic intent. I think Dion has done a fine job of helping us make sense of the whole 2.0 thing. Also, this particular [...]
