Why Wise Leaders Don't Know Too Much - Conversation Starter - HarvardBusiness.org
-
Yet we still spend our days analyzing information and falling into traps. Decisions are destroyed by over-analysis. The brain is not intelligent because of the sheer volume of data it can ingest, but for the way it can quickly discern patterns — and then guess the rest. The more information you pile on, the less likely you are to make educated guesses. But educated guesses spring from wisdom: all of your past experiences, knowledge and knowhow, coupled with the most recent information and analysis. In other words, wisdom comes from your gut.
Top 10 IT Management Trends for the Next Five Years - CIO.com - Business Technology Leadership

No. 2: The amount of enterprise data will grow about 650% over the next five years, the vast majority of it unstructured, or not included in any database. This growth "is going to cost us dearly if we dont pay attention," said Cappuccio. Cutting that growth will mean adopting methodologies such as data deduplication and automated tiering of storage, which involves moving underutilized data to less costly storage systems based on risk and need.

IT Management in 2010: Complex, Costly and Still Confounding - CIO.com - Business Technology Leadership
"And then there's the tidal wave of corporate data barreling down on organizations: Gartner predicts that the amount of enterprise data will grow 650 percent during the next five years. Yet according to a Forbes Insights survey of 206 executives and decision makers at top global enterprises, one of the top barriers to aligning strategy and operations today is the availability of timely data, cited by nearly one-quarter of the respondents.
In other words, CIOs face a type of "information paradox": Businesses want data to flow cheaply and easily throughout organizations, but data and information management is absurdly expensive and complex. (For more on this challenge, see Information Wants to Be Free, But at What Cost?) "

Richard Eoin Nash - The Blog: My start-up: Cursor
"Cursor…represents a new, “social” approach to publishing. To call [it] “niche” or another “independent” publishing enterprise would be a poor approximation, because those terms fail to capture the organic gurgle of culture at the heart of the venture, the exchange of insight and opinion, the flow of memes and the creation of culture in real time that is now enabled by the Internet."

How to Get IT Projects Approved - Susan Cramm - Harvard Business Review
-
Usually it goes something like this: The manager knows that the key to justifying projects is demonstrating the link between your proposed projects and the overall enterprise strategy. Unfortunately, research indicates that "most companies have a formal strategic planning processing but don't use it to make their most important decisions." In other words, they don't really have a meaningful enterprise strategy.

So what do managers do? They use a watered-down surrogate: a list of IT initiatives that survive the annual financial planning process. The list does not impress the IT investment board. They demand to understand the strategic and financial justification for each line item.

A link in the tweet would take the user to the executable workflow task. Second, process status updates and milestones can be ‘tweeted’.

he generation of a tweet as part of the execution of a process can be useful in three main scenarios. First, Twitter could be an additional inbox for heavy Twitter users. In this case, the BPMS would generate a notification item to the users associated with the role of the next activity. A link in the tweet would take the user to the executable workflow task. Second, process status updates and milestones can be ‘tweeted’. As part of our research at QUT, we have already implemented this interface for the workflow solution YAWL. Third, a tweet could be sent to a much wider community as part of a highly creative task, and thus facilitate embedded and convenient ‘crowd sourcing/solving’ as part of a process. Various Twitter communities allow the channelling of such tweets to an appropriate audience.
