BACKGROUND

It has been a long time since IBM supposedly said that few computers would be enough to forever satisfy all the computing needs of humanity. Do not worry: this is not a technical article.

ABSTRACT

My suggestion? Well, I still hold an Italian passport. Therefore, I suggested an idea inspired by another industry: segmenting the market by building standardized elements, and then offering different levels of "tailoring", but with an option to then re-insert, after sometime, the custom-designed services into the basic portfolio. But, in my view, the issue is becoming even more nuanced. And more complex. And still actual.]]> http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/10/22/agb2009-the-future-of-it/feed/ 0 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/07/12/managing-change-across-time/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/07/12/managing-change-across-time/#comments Sun, 12 Jul 2009 08:38:13 +0000 GettingAroundTheWorld.Net http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/07/12/managing-change-across-time/ change management. I would like to share here some experience from my activities, and why I believe that adopting a common framework might be sub-optimal, but a smart allocation of resources. To summarize:

1. change is a constant ("panta rei")
2. change is made of "here and now" activities, and their antecedents and consequences
3. if you can, do not re-invent the wheel- use an existing one...
4. ...and see how to make it fit in your environment
5. and drop that "not invented here" attitude: you are wasting resources
6. last but not least: ask yourself- who will keep the memory of the choices made
