The Enduring Value of IT and Process Investments

Yesterday, I had a meeting with some consultants who told me the story of a group of IT and accounting people from one of their clients screaming at each other because they could not find common ground to communicate about the cost and ROI of IT investments.

Then, last night, standing in the parking lot outside the Boston KM event, I had a long chat with an engineer who has been around tech and business for decades.

Lessons Learned Creating an IC Community on Ning

If you follow this blog, you may have noticed a hiatus of ten days or so on my meatier posts (I keep the micro posts going through Twitter). Here’s what has been happening…

The IC Knowledge Center, a community I started at the beginning of the year is taking off! Coming at the same time that we are doing the final reviews for our book and keeping up with client work, it has been a bit of a distraction–but a wonderful one.

We just went over 125 members, all very impressive folks from all around the world. We are also getting a good start at critical mass of different perspectives. Read more
