| Week of November 20th, 2006 Burn Baby Burn A lot of stuff this week: First, a new character in this week's strip which I think will likely be a recurring role. Next, a very interesting book review on Slow Leadership. One part is spot on when it comes to IT consulting: Too many corporations and their leaders cling to imitation as the way forward, encouraged by consultants intent on peddling "industry best practice" as the answer to all problems. These consultants too, despite their huge fees, are deficient in imagination and innovation. They almost have to be. Their business is based on selling the same advice, pre-packaged, to multiple clients. Besides, like all-successful businesses, they know their customers. The consultant who tries to sell radical change—especially if it threatens the preconceptions of those in charge—will never do as well as one who sells what his or her client wishes to hear. Sounds familiar?
Finally, check out the new weekly co-production comic strip with
the Chief at A
Day in the Life of an Information Security Investigator. Monkey
business is the way to go!
