- ERP + forms + flow: coexistense for the short term?

- Yo-yo'ing on Millennials
- Larry Dignan's post earlier in the week asking whether Millennials will re-invent IT struck a chord with a few of my Irregular friends.

- Why social software won't dethrone the incumbents
- It's not often I find myself fundamentally disagreeing with Sam Lawrence. He's a smart guy with a great marketing head. But on this post he's over-reaching in my opinion. His basic argument says this: The big IT vendors aren’t taking social software seriously. They can’t. Not even if they...

- The problem with Forrester's $4.6 billion prediction

- Forget predictions, get a wishlist
- At this time of the year, pundits of all stripes seek to grab attention by appearing sage and wise by making predictions for the coming year. Heck, I've done it myself - and lived to regret such pretensions. This year I prefer to pen an enterprise wishlist because that's...

- KPMG on Entertprise 2.0: a dud
- KPMG's report Enterprise 2.0: Fad or Future? The Business Role for Social Software Platforms is a disappointment. Here we have one of the world's leading consultancies publishing a 19 page glossy brochure that is short on substance and long on consulting sales bait. Perhaps it's a reflection of KPMG's belief...
