I've been thinking about what I'm going to say tomorrow in my lectures at the Rollins Center for eBusiness. My original working title was "Life as a CIO" but that didn't really capture what I wanted to say. I've put a talk together that talks about current hotspots (as I see them) in information technology and their impact on the enterprise. Here are the things I'm going to mention. Any that I'm forgetting?
- Blogging
- Instant messaging
- Digital identity
- Wireless connectivity
- Web Services and XML
- IT Hierarchy of Needs
- Virtual Networks of Demand
The idea of the talk is to not simply go over a list of cool things in IT but to talk about how these trends are all related. These trends can be described by some non-empty subset of the following keywords:
- Personalized
- Peer-based
- Decentralized
- Collaborative
- Connected
Any suggestions on other important keywords to describe current important trends in IT and eBusiness?
