Cast a vote and give me a reason to visit Boston in June

Keri Pearlson, a long time friend and colleague, and I have proposed a session for the Enterprise 2.0 conference scheduled for this June in Boston. Your votes could help determine whether our session makes the cut. We’d both greatly appreciate it if you’d go take a look at our pitch and give it a thumbs up.

Here’s the link where you can vote: Enterprise 2.0: Can IT Lead the Social Business Strategy Formulation Process? 

Thanks.

Eight years now at McGee’s Musings

Today makes eight years I’ve been posting here.

This is one component in a continually evolving collection of tools and practices that constitute my work practices. I’ve been thinking about how best to understand that constellation of tools and practices and about ways to make the path smoother for those who may be earlier in their efforts. We all want to get there in one simple step. That isn’t possible. On the other hand, it’s also not necessary to spend quite so much time wandering in the poppies, which is what it feels like some days.

If you have a moment and feel so inclined, tell us a bit about your efforts and experiments. And tell me about what you would like to see more of here. As always, I greatly appreciate all the people I’ve been able to meet and interact with as a consequence of writing here. Thank you.

Geek And Poke: Gartner Hype Cycle Version 2.0

This was making the rounds at the end of the summer. I figure it will end up in a presentation or two.

Of course, it’s always easy to poke fun at the perceived laggards. On the other hand, it’s always worth a moment’s reflection on why the timing might be appropriately different depending on where you sit.
