Infrastructure & management simplification is more than simply reducing ports, cable counts, and more than simply virtualizing/consolidating.

The recent passing of the iconic Vietnam-era Defense Secretary Robert McNamara brought to mind an article I read by Tom Davenport in a Harvard Business Publishing blog about analytics in the combat theater in Afghanistan. Mr. Davenport summarizes an approach called " Combat Analytics " that is being used to assess progress toward the American military's objectives in Afghanistan, and how difficult it is to identify metrics about counterinsurgency activities that are directly reflective of the

For many IT admins, business as usual is a juggling act. Job schedulers and scripts run on autopilot, applications and operating systems can’t speak the same language, and other tools—like RPA or MFT solutions—operate in isolation. On a good day, everything runs smoothly. But good days are rare; more often than not, something goes wrong and you’re stuck putting out fires.

One of the most important applications of influence is in launching start-ups. This is often a make or break situation – you have a great opportunity to get attention (and on the back of that revenue) when you launch a new company. If it doesn’t work and you don’t get much attention at that point, it doesn’t mean you never get another chance, but it’s going to be a lot harder when you’re yesterday’s news.

I've been listening to Last.FM (and writing about it ) since it was launched in 2002. I love it, to the extent of forking out when they finally asked me to start paying a few months ago. However one of the features I most miss is a "serendipity factor" dial. A basic concept in information filtering is the degree of serendipity of content selection. Do you want a highly predictable stream, or do you want to be very surprised sometimes?

Shall I tweet it? Shall I blog it? If you’re both a blogger and Twitterer, when you get an interesting thought you want to share, you have choices. Do you tweet it? If it’s interesting enough to let people know, then sure – very easily done. Or do you blog it? If it’s compelling enough, competing with lots of other stuff, and it’s time-sensitive, then yes.

The following thought occurred to me while driving home last week: A big part of a parent’s job is to teach their children the rules of life, to let them know which ones shouldn’t be broken, and to help them understand when and why the rest can and/or should be broken.
