					<description><![CDATA[I recently had a conversation with a group of IT leaders. We were talking about what good looks like, and I posed a simple question: "How do you know if you're succeeding?" The room went quiet. I could see the wheels turning in their heads. They started talking about keeping the lights on, meeting deadlines, and managing budgets. All important [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Today we are obsessed with productivity and it&#8217;s close cousin efficiency. Being a productivity expert is a booming business, indeed, some of my best friends are productivity experts.   Every business I have ever worked with is obsessed with improving efficiency and productivity, doing more in the same or less time.   I&#8217;m not immune from the pursuit of efficiency and have [&#8230;]]]></description>

Some of these are my own questions, but many arose from conversations with others including the Thriving Through Digital Group.

					<description><![CDATA[In the year 2000 agile was fairly universally agreed to mean being &#8220;able to move quickly and easily&#8221;. Then in February 2001 a group of 17 software developers got together and penned the Manifesto for Agile Software Development.

In a XaaS model all of the technical work is done by the XaaS provider rather than the corporate IT team.  In addition most of the user support is being done by SMEs embedded within the business.  These roles also often [&#8230;]]]></description>
