I think of the EA as the big brother showing up at a schoolyard fight just in time. IKM pros need them for their vision, their clout and their sign-off powers. But EAs need IKM pros too. Information and Knowledge Management professionals work in the intersection between Business and IT. We facilitate dialogue between business SMEs and IT SMEs.” full article

The mobile Internet cycle, the 5th cycle in 50 years, is just starting. Winners in each cycle often create more market capitalization than in the last. New winners emerge, some incumbents survive – or thrive – while many past winners falter.

The mobile Internet is ramping faster than desktop Internet did, and we believe more users may connect to the Internet via mobile devices than desktop PCs within 5 years.

Five IP-based products / services are growing / converging and providing the underpinnings for dramatic growth in mobile Internet usage – 3G adoption + social networking + video + VoIP + impressive mobile devices.

Apple + Facebook platforms serving to raise the bar for how users connect / communicate – their respective ramps in user and developer engagement may be unprecedented.

Decade-plus Internet usage / monetization ramps for mobile Internet in Japan plus desktop Internet in developed markets provide roadmaps for global ramp and monetization.

Massive mobile data growth is driving transitions for carriers and equipment providers.

Emerging markets have material potential for mobile Internet user growth. Low penetration of fixed-line telephone and already vibrant mobile value-added services mean that for many EM users and SMEs, the Internet will be mobile.

We use a data-rich, theme-based framework for thinking about how the rapidly emerging / changing mobile Internet may evolve. One thing is clear: new computing cycles create / destroy material wealth – and the mobile Internet cycle should be no different.” (Morgan Stanley – The Mobile Internet Report) dowload full PDF report

These changes are not immediate, and are not complete; just as they didn’t begin overnight, they will continue to evolve as culture continues to morph.

These shifts, however, have already had*and will continue to have*unprecedented effects on the essence of business, commerce, and trade. Each of the shifts, taken individually, tells a compelling tale of opportunity and cultural change; when considered together, the three shifts paint a picture of a world where the human condition is
empowered by the connections of design and business, and where the products, systems, and services that are bought and sold have a positive impact on society and culture.” (Matt Schoenholz and Jon Kolko) download PDF
