How to Support Your IT Innovators
It's critical to have at least one person on your team who is a "power user" because, in the words of a wise IT leader I interviewed, "business groups who have somebody on their team who is an IT expert do much better with IT (in terms of leveraging technology to meet their needs) than those who do not."

Enterprise Web 2.0 Calls for Access Control, Not Shutoff
What’s holding many organizations back are four core concerns:
* Productivity levels will decrease, due to employees spending time on social media Websites (given that it’s not part of their job).
* High-bandwidth Web 2.0 sites will overload the network, potentially blocking mission-critical applications and services.
* Employees will access pornographic material or other inappropriate Websites.
* Security and privacy issues will increase.

Toward a Pattern Language for Enterprise 2.0
I’m dividing my 2.0 vs. 1.0 comparisons into two groups. First is a set of patterns where 2.0 is just better than 1.0 – where the old should, I believe, just be replaced with the new. Second is a set in which 2.0 is an alternative or addition to 1.0, not a replacement for it. This second group of patterns, in other words, shows two alternatives, both of them valuable and viable, for how computers are used to get work done.

Enterprise 2.0 Isn’t a Checklist
This appears to be indicative of all emerging disciplines/practices. But for Enterprise 2.0, unlike Data Warehousing, the predominant focus is NOT technology. And yet, from where does the funding or focus from such initiatives typically come? This is a much larger issue — one related to obsolete organizational design practices. The reason IT is the most obvious choice for sponsorship is that it is the only organization not vertically challenged — it delivers (or should) only horizontal services to an enterprise — crossing all other departments. Indeed, IT is one of the few organizations that takes on the battle to find common threads across organizations to weave the horizontal lines of the tapestry that holds the business together.
And yet, the approaches needed for E2.0 initiatives are the antithesis of typical IT practices.

A Curious Case of Enterprise 2.0
When was the last time you used a sequence of dot-separated numbers to describe a large official organization? Yet all the talk about Government 2.0 doesn’t seem to surprise anyone. The lack of surprise however doesn’t imply shared understanding. Just try asking ten people who use the term Web 2.0 what exactly it means – and most likely you will get ten different answers.

IT, RH, Com : bouleversements à venir
Que restera-t-il à la fonction RH ? Les nouvelles compétences de communication déployées par la fonction communication, l’environnement de travail développé par IT, et dans tout cela, les managers de plus en plus acteurs dans les pratiques classiques d’entretien annuel, de recrutement, de développement …
Le vrai défi, à mon sens, sera de mesurer l’impact des investissements à venir puisque la plupart seront faits dans les domaines … du talent. Identifier les populations clé, définir des stratégies sur mesure pour chacune d’entre elles tout en assurant la cohérence d’ensemble et surtout, surtout, être capables d’établir avec la Direction une conversation suivie sur l’importance et la pertinence de l’investissement dans le capital humain.

Consumer apps in the workplace: much worse than expected
To maintain a grip on application and device security, enterprises will clearly have to work harder. Gartner, for example, predicts that by 2011, 10% of all information technology spending will reside with employees. Employees will acquire their own technology and use it for work purposes - especially in situations where no clear policy is set. Employees are also set to customize 90% of the technology they use at work by 2015.

Innovating for all the wrong reasons
My good friend and fellow TechRepublic blogger Chad Perrin suggested that I write about when clients pursue change for the wrong reasons. If your client says, “We need to implement TPD” (an abbreviation I just made up to stand for Technology/Process of the Day), you better make sure it isn’t because of any of these motivations.

Enterprise 2.0: Chance or Fool’s Paradise for Business Transformation in Economic Crisis
The last two Enterprise 2.0 FORUMs have shown that there are some reoccuring characteristics of sucessful perceived E2.0 projects that - from a qualitative perspective - might turn out to be the critical success factors. In regards to our on-going discussions about the topics of the Enterprise 2.0 programm I would therefore like to make some summing-up on these aspects:

Social Networking for IT Organizations in a Recession « IT Organization Circa 2017
I’ve been thinking about a couple of things my CIO clients are wrestling with, and how these might be better approached jointly rather than as separate challenges. These are:
1. How to strengthen Business-IT Relationships in the context of the current economic climate.
2. How to experiment with, learn from and foster Social Networking in the business context (rather than the more common “Facebook-like” personal context.
3. How to sharpen and refocus the role of IT for the global recession.

Teaming Up to Crack Innovation and Enterprise Integration - HBR.org
In the continuing quest for business growth, many CEOs are turning to their CIOs and IT organizations because technology is essential to two compelling sources of growth: innovation and integration. Innovation, of course, is doing new things that customers ultimately appreciate and value—not only developing new generations of products, services, channels, and customer experience but also conceiving new business processes and models. Integration is making the multiple units, functions, and sites of large organizations work together to increase capacity, improve performance, lower cost structure, and discover opportunities for improvement that don’t appear until you look across functions.

Eli Lilly On What's Next In Cloud Computing - Plug Into The Cloud - InformationWeek
Eli Lilly uses Amazon Web Services and other cloud services to provide high-performance computing, as needed, to hundreds of its scientists. With AWS, Powers said, a new server can be up and running in three minutes (it used to take Eli Lilly seven and a half weeks to deploy a server internally) and a 64-node Linux cluster can be online in five minutes (compared with three months internally). "The deployment time is really what impressed us," Powers said. "It's just shy of instantaneous."

Démystifier le cloud computing.
Le concept de « cloud computing » s'est propagé avant d'avoir été clairement défini. Mais si vous êtes de ceux qui croient au mirage, il est sans doute temps d'y regarder de plus près.
Entièrement axé sur l'efficience, le cloud computing permet de déployer un système unique aussi bien qu'une quantité massive de ressources informatiques afin de les rendre accessibles à la demande, en temps réel et pour un coût abordable. Dans la mesure où les stratégies de « cloud » les plus performantes s'appuient sur des concepts et des outils déjà bien connus des développeurs, ce paradigme est susceptible de redéfinir la relation unissant l'organisation informatique aux équipes de développement et aux unités opérationnelles qui dépendent d'elle. L'organisation informatique s'assure en effet des gains d'efficience et des points de contrôle supplémentaires, tandis que ses clients accèdent à un nouveau degré de simplicité et d'autonomie dans leur utilisation des services.

Characteristics of the Knowledge Economy, continued
In the 21st century, comparative advantage will become much less a function of natural resource endowments and capital-labour ratios and much more a function of technology and skills. Mother nature and history will play a much smaller role, while human ingenuity will play a much bigger role.
