IBM ‘5 in 5’ 2012 (From IBM Research)

In next five years will be able to imitate the taste, sight, smell, hearing and touch, as IBM Research ‘5 in 5’ report indicates in its edition of 2012.

The human side of IT (Change Management)

CIO’s role, change management, IT implementation,…

I recommend you this article from “Kotter International” (www.kotterinternational.com) writen by Kathy Gersch, Executive Vice President, who discusses about “the human side of IT”

I want to highligt two sentences as example.

• “…The CIO's role is less about the software, the servers, the networking tools and the IT infrastructure than it is about business strategy execution and leadership skills. It's also those skills - not technical knowledge - that are most crucial during a large-scale technology implementation like an ERP software upgrade or a sales funnel tracking system overhaul….”
• “…change is not about the technology, but about what that technology can help the company and its employees accomplish…”

The Mobile Workstyle (Infographic from Gist)

Through the “thefutureofwork” twitter account ( www.twitter.com/thefutureofwork) I’ve found a very interesting post at http://mashable.com/2011/08/09/mobile-workers-infographic/, where they share an infographic, created by Gist (ww.gist.com) with information provided by IPAS, ITPRO, CISCO, UNISYS, IDC RESEARCH AND COMSCORE: “The mobile workstyle”.

You can access to the complete post at http://mashable.com/2011/08/09/mobile-workers-infographic/

It’s interesting to highlight some date from the infographic:

• “3 of 5 workers say they don’t need to be in the office anymore to be productive”
• Working at first, second and third place. “Where mobile workers feel most productive”:
  • 46% in the office
  • 38% working from home
  • 2% on an airplane
  • 2% in a hotel
  • 2% in a café
  • 1% at public transportation
  • 9% have no preference
• “How mobile workers use smartphones”:
  • Social Media for Work
  • Information Management
  • Web Conferencing
  • Note-taking
  • Office Suites

A day in the digital life. Always connected

Thanks to www.onlineschools.org/blog/always-connected and several retweets I received, I had the opportunity to review how is the life of a student “always connected”.

In fact, I think this could be the life of a student/professional/person always connected.

Do you feel identified? I do in some of the different aspects.
