The Informationist Manifesto

I've stirred up a great discussion around my (and EMC's) thoughts around the shift of information responsibility to IT, and what this means.

I was presenting at an event in Paris, and they captured me on video doing a pretty good job of explaining the core concepts, the impact, and what EMC is doing about it. 

Best part is that I'm speaking slowly and clearly ...

I thought I'd share it with you if you're interested.  Video and sound are pretty good, WMV format, 77 MB, runs about 25 minutes.  [note: the first time I posted, the file was corrupt -- seems to be OK now, though]

The slides had been translated into French, but you can get a PDF of the English slides here.

And, if you're interested, seems that our friends at Gartner have picked up on the concept of Information Infrastructure, here's a piece in the usual Gartner-ese.

Drop me a line if you'd like to discuss ... thanks!

  • Frequency of Updates
    I try and write something new 1-2 times per week; less if I'm travelling, more if I'm in the office. Hopefully you'll find the frequency about right!
