While January 2009 has taken a slower start in the economy and on the job front, I kept busy in the off hours cranking out some great content this past month. <\/p>\n
I’ve hinted off an on the past few months about the plans I have for expanding the Business Service Management (BSM) discussion. The broader BSM Value Proposition must be talked about. BSM must be included in every discussion taking place in the inner vendor and IT spheres. BSM for Cloud Computing (#BSMcc), Green BSM (#greenBSM), Dynamic BSM (#dynamicBSM), whatever. The broad based value proposition for the next generation of BSM applies everywhere, whether these technology initiatives are inwardly or outwardly focused. They’re all about helping the business meet its goals and objectives. Stay tuned! If you’re up for contributing and collaborating, contact me!<\/p>\n
