The apparently slow demise of print publications and the downward trend of online advertising revenue is making more publishers and content providers think seriously about introducing so-called ‘paywalls’ – where original content and information is available only to paying readers. I am seriously interested in the dynamics of social networking so I have just issued a Twitter challenge: what is the future of the CIO? – in less than 140 characters with tag #ciofuture People are talking about a new world order emerging from the present financial chaos. But if we are going to build a new business world order, we will have to have to make some room by clearing out the old corporate clutter. How will Enterprise 2.0 improve Joined-up Management?Enterprise 2.0 is one of the big buzz terms of the day and every management periodical worth its salt will carry articles about “2.0″ and how it can be adopted. But will the 2.0 Enterprise be any better joined-up than its predecessors? I am not so sure. But I am looking for answers. Pick ‘n Mix Your EnterpriseThe landscape of information service development is changing quickly, as more and more services are created from hitherto unlikely combinations (aka mashups). But where do you go to find candidate components? More importantly how can you you keep up with the flood of new offerings? Web 2.0 – Killer App?Enterprises are falling over themselves to become “2.0.” At least one company (Compuware 2.o) has changed its business name to incorporate the magic numbers. Mashups, wikis, p2p networks, blogs and tagging are proliferating exponentially. But none of these is the real killer app for Web 2.0. Survival of the quickestIn my view, the worldwide financial crisis is clear evidence that many fundamental parts of our global economy lack effective information systems. The circumstantial evidence for this is the dreadful ease with which so many have been blind-sided so quickly by events. Who says there has to be a function called IT?My provocation earlier this week (Nobody needs a Chief Information Officer) has generated a great deal of interest and reaction so far, most of which is so diverse it simply re-inforces my view that the role of Chief Information Officer is so poorly defined and so poorly targeted to justify calling into question the necessity [...] Nobody needs a Chief Information OfficerWhen the acronym CIO first emerged, many joshed that it stood for “Career Is Over.” Many others couldn’t see the need for a Chief Information Officer at all, because they perceived such a role to be that of a super-librarian, rather than custodian of crucial commercial intelligence (sic). |
