It turns out we are still dumping a great deal of our e-waste from computers and electronic appliances in China, India, and Africa. In my recent trip to China and India, I saw how kids dismantle these stuff using their hand and chisels. In India they were burning them and young men and women breathing the dioxins generated from the electronics. |

The Retail IT Blog
A very well written and comprehensive article from Gartner on Social Networking and retailers. Many of the points are valid, if retailers are not utilizing the latest Web 2.0 tools (I really like the Digg.com lab Slack tool), then they will quickly find themselves out of touch with what is being written and read relative to their Brand, and certainly risk losing brand control. |

Business-IT Alignment Demystified
Business-IT alignment is by far the "mother of all reasons" why IT organizations fail to deliver. However, when asked about "alignment" in more detail, CIOs as well as business stakeholders fail to provide a succinct interpretation of what it is in the "real" world. |

Make Employee Performance Reviews Work for You
You are not alone if you are feeling stressed or frustrated because your supervisor just handed you an employee review form and asked you to fill it out in an impossibly short period of time.

Here are some suggestions to take charge of the process and make it work for you.

On the Leading Edge
A CIO today has to be more innovative, take more risks with technology bets and win more often. It is no longer a sufficient to just maintain the infrastructure, have great up-time numbers and keep customers satisfied. Now it is also: “Can you bring us the next technology breakthrough to get a jump on the competition?” Businesses today live and die by whether they are quick to adopt technologies at the right time to keep their businesses energized. |

What's The Purpose Of EA?
Some say it's "to provide a snapshot in time of an organization." Others strongly disagree. And the amount of disagreement with the statement is revealing since it indicates that the majority of respondents do not believe that EA is about the enterprise at all, apparently believing that EA is only about IT. |

Do you know me?
I am smart and funny. I am truly quirky and proud of it. Sometimes I create or get caught up in drama. My life can be fast paced. Some people think of me as highly creative, others see me as some type of genius or mad scientist. |

Legal driving IT v. Business driving IT
In the global world it seems a shift is starting. It seems that a company to successfully operate must successful merge the IT, legal, and business needs to manage internal risks and costs. A central driving force: e-discovery. It seems in the morass of technology deployments underlying the rapid transition from paper to digital. Of course, substantial cost efficiencies have been achieved, but companies are realizing that there was a lapse in the process of translating paper to digital records. This lapse initially was not that evident, but it has been compounded by the rapid adoption of the Web and communication tools by companies. |

Thomson Reuters Mashups
My colleague Chris Warner recently did a nice writeup of how Thomson Reuters is using Mashups for their scientific ventures. I have paraphrased his article here: Thomson applied mashups to one of it's scientific community portals, a 'gateway to researchers and their published works' for 'accurate author and publication identification'. ResearcherID provides first-person author profiles, publication lists, and citation metrics, creating a source for research professionals to share and collaborate. |
