Do processes = control? Do processes inhibit openness? Can your organization get anything done in an environment of openness and transparency? This week from The MIX Gary Hamel and Charlene Li discuss openness and control and finding the right balance for your organization. Read the full transcript.

Yesterday, unfortunately, my Dell smart phone was lost/stolen at the Seattle Airport. After I got over the panic of not being connected to the world, my first instinct was to have the account disabled and the company info on it wiped remotely. (Easier said than done when you don’t have a phone). My second desire was to get a replacement phone ASAP, perhaps by buying one at an airport kiosk, with all my info, files, contacts and email immediately downloaded on it so that I could continue to...

Some social tool startups still try to sell these huge, enterprise software-like prices with big, upfront commitments and large, ongoing maintenance fees. Or, they will try to setup variable pricing that (often based on pricing levels) is essentially the same thing. Seriously? In the social space, so many of these tools are new and unproven. The first goal should not be big, software fees but collaborating with a big brand and proving that your tool works. Then, big brands can help you improve...

I picked the brain of a senior IT security colleague a few weeks ago—it was less grisly than that sounds—and found that of all the trendy technology topics in his field, cloud computing was what he least wanted to read about. By no means have the implications of cloud computing and virtualization gone over his head. It’s the opposite, really. He understands the nuances and potential gains thoroughly, so much so that the barrage of cloud talk is degenerating into cacophony for...

Westminster College’s CIO has begrudgingly added an account of his professional evolution to what he calls “the constant stream of articles about how the role of the CIO is transforming.” That Tech Republic post got me thinking: With the fluidity of the IT landscape, isn’t it natural—exciting even—to see pivotal roles like CIO adapt? A recent webinar, “Inside the Mind of the CIO, 2011,” offers insights that help ground the discussion. It isn’t...
