Thanks to John Sumser for profiling me in this series. It is an honor to be included with this group.

An interesting read for those working at vendors about how to prioritize product/service capability development.

Good post on primary research on the prognosis for economic recovery in the U.S.

Great summary of trends to consider in planning (for vendors, end users and analysts).

For those Lost fans out there, this is a very interesting post on the juxtaposition of science and storytelling on the show.

Great post. It expresses many of my feelings on the illogical response to this act.

This is a pretty funny stroll down memory lane.

Great post by Thomas Otter (@vendorprisey). The way I think about it is "begin with the end in mind". All transactional applications should start with how you want to use the data, not capture it and what problem(s) you are trying to solve for the user.

Good advice for all vendors on software demos. Best demo I have seen is where the vendor let the customer (or analyst) drive with direction.

Well said. Enough said.

First, I wish I was this erudite. But, props to my colleague Thomas Otter on this post that is spot-on.

The title pretty much says it all. It is a pretty funny (and unfortunately true) read. (Hat Tip to @dbmoore)

Great article about the current state of economic theory and where it needs to go.

Good thoughts on the future of HR and where the focus needs to be.

Good advice on creating a strategy to retain top talent.

This is a companion link to the other healthcare link I posted today. There are examples of providing high quality care at lower relative cost. The challenge with healthcare is systemic. The incentives are for doctors to provide more care (more tests, more visits, etc.) not necessarily achieve better outcomes. Until that changes, it does not matter who pays (single payer, private health insurance), we will not have dealt with the root cause of the problem.

Nice post by Andrew about some important Gartner research on business strategy and technology.

Brian is a pretty funny guy (I ought to know - I worked for him for almost 10 years).

Good analysis for tech vendor mergers by a former colleague at Giga Information Group.
