Sometimes, buzzwords really ARE changing the world. The phrase “consumerization of IT” refers to the ubiquitous reality that the technology available OUTSIDE the enterprise is perceived as being more sophisticated, more user-friendly, delivered in a quicker time frame, and lower-cost than the technology INSIDE of the enterprise.

OK. We all swore on Election Day that we didn't want to hear one more word about anything to do with the Presidential election. Living in a swing state (Virginia), we were treated to an endless onslaught of horrendous negative ads from both candidates, plus at least 5-10 robo-calls per day. The calls were not lost on kids as young as first graders. A friend of ours who teaches first grade reported that a student came in one morning, very excited, and reported, "Ms. Willis, you won't believe it. We got a personal phone call at home last night from BOTH Mitt Romney and Barack Obama."

I recently blogged on the theme The Cool is Back in ECM, reflecting on my attendance at two widely varying industry events, the Box.Net BoxWorks conference, and IBM's Information on Demand. My conclusion, based on my data point of whether my kids had heard of the entertainment (ECM passed the test this year!), is that the Cool is Back in ECM.

I enjoyed a conversation with Deb LaVoy and Scott Bowen from OpenText at the Enterprise 2.0 conference. I like their concept of "purpose-driven teams" in the context of social and Enterprise 2.0 technologies. As a community I am glad to see we are finally moving beyond the first wave of social technologies as something "cool" and somehow bolted on to the business independent of existing processes. We are starting to view these technologies as enablers of the business; something to be embedded in every process rather than something that stands independent of business processes.

I'm on vacation this week on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in a little town called Buxton at the tip of Hatteras Point. As a result, I've had a lot of time to ride my bike and sit on the beach and watch the waves and wait for some Enterprise 2.0 Vacation Epiphanies. And as strange (and nerdy) as it may seem, I've actually had a few (epiphanies, as well as beers).

I'll be taking a bit of vacation over the next two weeks, so I thought I would take the opportunity of highlighting a few books on my Summer reading list. One of the good things about using a Kindle or Kindle on an iPad for reading is the ability to use highlights to create a running summary of a book's highlights. Even better is that these highlights are aggregated across ALL readers. So in effect, any book can have a built-in summary, generated by the wisdom of the crowds - pretty cool stuff. So in my vacation posts, I'll highlight a few books I've enjoyed recently and some Kindle-generated excerpts to give you a snapshot of the contents.
