Noteworthy is an occasional publication of Lyon, Popanz & Forester. It reflects our interests and hopefully the interests of many of you who receive it. Please feel to sample from the following:
Facebook or My Space on your office computer? Probably not. Descendents tailor to the needs of the enterprise? Almost certainly. Now is a good time to start thinking about it. The heart of the original article is about applying a lesson from 1935 to Intensive Care Units today. I read the article as an endorsement for the wider use of checklists as a tool to deal with the complexities of information technology, but that's my bias. I also read it as an amazingly simple way to reduce the risks and costs of modern medicine. The press is full of stories pro and con about globalization - the flattening of the world in the sense of becoming a single, flat playing field for businesses large and small and for a set of supporting ideas and ideals. Friedman tells a story and provides a structure to help us understand the ongoing evolution of that story in our daily news. ... The final chapter addresses the role of the U.S. in contributing to continued flattening and positive outcomes.
The evolving and changing nature of strategies and the difficulties of
communicating in large organizations mean that all parts of the organization
are challenged to stay aligned with the corporation's strategy. Information Technology organizations-IT-have the challenges faced by most organizations plus some that are unique. This article presents the results of discussion by 16 IT executives at a luncheon hosted by Lyon, Popanz & Forester.
