Changing behavior: A key component to IT and business success

Posted by Scott Lowe in CIO Perspectives, Wikibon on March 31, 2012


Today, as I was listening to a big data discussion for a Wikibon wiki post I’m working on, something kept distracting me.  It was my thoughts on “IT vs. the cloud” as a follow up to a post I wrote the other day on why organizations that want to embrace the cloud in a significant way need to first get their governance house in order.  I wanted to provide some additional thoughts based on some follow up items I received… I promise it’s the last thing you’ll read from me for a while on governance, but I believe strongly in these items.

The subtleties of Wikibon are what drive my passions. You’d expect to see things like Gartner, Meta, IDC and Forrester because our founders and early contributors had backgrounds at these research giants. And it’s not surprising to see Wells (as in Wells Fargo) and Pfizer and other organizations that advised us in the beginning– all new companies need advisers from the good people they wish to serve.
