Unity. I know you thought I was going to say "our strength lies in our diversity." That (and similar messages) are prevalent. We have diversity committees, VPs of Diversity, affirmative action plans and call minority candidates "diverse candidates." (Which drives me absolutely insane, but that's another topic.) When we moved to Switzerland we enrolled our daughter in one of the most "diverse" schools on the planet.

My grandfather never used computers, and he died when "wiki" was still just a word in Hawaiian. But in a single comment he taught me all about Enterprise 2.0. Grandaddy (known to the rest of the world as Phil Plesofsky) was a mild-mannered, old-school stock broker with a boutique brokerage firm in Chicago. He wore pin-stripe suits so conservative that once he accidentally bought the same suit twice.

'In the early days I assumed that social applications like Facebook and Twitter were all about networking because, well, that''s what everyone said. But then I got confused because there didn''t seem to be all that much networking going on. For example, after first reconnecting with school friends and catching up for all of five minutes, most of my Facebook relationships involved my ''friends'' letting me know what movie or flower they are at all hours of the day and night.

CNN thought its biggest threat was FOX News. It was wrong. The competition is Twitter , and the competition is winning. In 1980, CNN went live as America's first all-news TV network.

Most CIOs I talk to want to spend more time on strategy--not platform strategy or application strategy, but business strategy. The fun part of their job isn't about keeping the lights on or the servers cooled. It's about using technology to fundamentally improve the way their companies do business. Strategic relevance can be a sore spot for CIOs. Although most line managers agree in principle that IT is strategically important, CIOs still struggle for a seat at the strategy table.
