Finding Middle Ground in Office Use of Collaboration Tools, 26.5.04

According to EWeek

We are recaptitulating elements of the PC revolution of the early 80's. This time collaboration and networking tools are the guerilla productivity tools, but the productivity block is once again the corporate IT manager.

The analogy isn't perfect, but then they never are. The author goes on to say that, "...many IT groups will resist—wrapping themselves in up in Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, application and network security and preserving the integrity of critical systems."

How do you leverage new technology and still meet corporate governance and other integrity requirements? By empowering and trusting your staff for one. If they know what has to be protected and why, including the costs of lost protection, then their skunk works projects are more likely to turn into productivity AND data pluses for you.

"We shall need compromises in the days ahead, to be sure. But these will be, or should be, compromises of issues, not principles. We can compromise our political positions, but not ourselves. We can resolve the clash of interests without conceding our ideals. And even the necessity for the right kind of compromise does not eliminate the need for those idealists and reformers who keep our compromises moving ahead, who prevent all political situations from meeting the description supplied by Shaw: "smirched with compromise, rotted with opportunism, mildewed by expedience, stretched out of shape with wirepulling and putrefied with permeation.
Compromise need not mean cowardice. .."

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, "Profiles in Courage"
