Vision and Thought Leadership

Here you'll find the bulk of my thought leadership written since 1998. My career has spanned several phases of enterprise transformation, from human capital and restructuring during the late 1980s and early 1990s to the rise of distributed computing, Java, the Internet and e-business during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Now I'm focused on the next phase of discontinuous change, enterprise 2.0, global P2P collaboration and sourcing.

Although not as leading edge anymore, the technology underpinnings of and insight within these papers are still very relevant to today's business issues. Some points made during Web 1.0 (the Internet boom) are of, well, museum quality, so I include them for amusement and perspective.
