  Peter Drucker On Leadership - Forbes.com

  Ideas Peter Drucker On Leadership Rich Karlgaard, 11.19.04, 6:00 AM ET NEW YORK - Peter F. Drucker was born 95 years ago today--can it be possible?--in Vienna. The universally known writer, thinker and ... lecturer now is nearly deaf and doesn't get around like he used to. He stopped giving media interviews about a year ago. But in late October, Drucker granted an exception to Forbes.com at the urging of Dr. Rick Warren , the founder and head of the Christian evangelical Saddleback Community Church in Lake Forest, Calif. The Drucker-Warren relationship may surprise many readers, but it goes back two decades, to when the young minister came to Drucker for advice. Under Drucker's tutelage, Warren's own success as a spiritual entrepreneur has been considerable. Saddleback has grown to 15,000 members and has helped start another 60 churches throughout the world. Warren's 2001 book, The Purpose-Driven Life , is this decade's best seller with 19.5 million copies sold so far and compiling at the   [More...] [Less...]

  Business strategy Purpose: To describe the business direction for the future (short and medium term as minimum; ideally covering longer term as well) in terms of a vision, strategic themes and a portfolio ... of planned changes to which every programme and project contributes. Fitness for purpose checklist: The strategic direction exists, as a set of strategic themes which are capable of providing a starting point for the planning of the required set of change programmes? Is there a set of strategic change initiatives which are consistent with the vision and the strategic themes for the business unit, are described in sufficient detail to enable subsequent prioritisation, selection and sequencing? Is the nature of the description of the change initiatives also such that implications of their influence on overall strategic direction can be interpreted? Is there a prioritised set of change programmes which clearly shows the interrelationships and dependencies between the change programmes th   [More...] [Less...]

  1 Outlook 2007 Number 3 The journal of high-performance business A coherent technology ecosystem—from infrastructure, architecture and applications to standards and support services—creates a virtuous ... cycle by making adoption of a new technology easier and less risky. As interest builds, more enterprises are likely to adopt that technology; this, in turn, strengthens the ecosystem and leads to lower costs. Soon, with large-scale adoption, the new ecosystem changes the basis of competition, which finally forces laggards (if they are still around) to adopt as well, completing an industrywide transformation. Too often, however, companies take a buyer- centric view of technology, and look for a magic bullet to solve a specific business prob- lem or a failsafe specific business opportunity This article originally appeared in the September 2007 issue of Intormation Technology Eight trends that are redefining IT By Kishore S. Swaminathan Converging trends are creating a new technology ecosyst   [More...] [Less...]

  Interview: Mike Lynch, founder of Autonomy - Software - Breaking Business and Technology News at silicon.com 

  http://software.silicon.com/applications/0,39024653,39152405,00.htm

  During the turn of the century technology boom years, Autonomy was something of a poster child for UK high-tech. A lot has changed since then in terms of the fluctuating health of the sector and the nature ... of the search industry - not least of all because of the rise of Google. But Autonomy founder Mike Lynch - who remains CEO at the company - is convinced Google will not repeat its consumer success in the enterprise market and believes the search industry is on the verge of great things. "Unstructured information" remains at the heart of Autonomy's approach. Lynch claims 80 per cent of information within the enterprise is unstructured and with the sheer volume of information ballooning, on the back of a move towards greater compliance and new data formats such as multimedia files, the need is greater than ever to be able to search this data quickly and effectively. Applications serving this growing market are what Lynch refers to as "second generation" search technologies. Google, he   [More...] [Less...]
