That Important Enterprise View

I stressed the need for an enterprise view when it comes to thinking about ACORD or any industry standard for that matter. Climbers always need to get their bearings. Going straight up is seldom the best path to the summit. Stepping back (figuratively in this case), navigating unexpected obstacles and adjusting footholds along the way are all part of the process.

If you are about to climb (implement ACORD Standards), give us a call and see what resources we can offer. Helmets, ropes, harnesses and carabiners not included.

New Book

My latest book presents the challenges members face when adopting industry standards as well as the opportunities that come as a result. It features my discussions with many people over many years and follows the foundation I set in my first book "The Business Information Revolution".

Industry standards are never adopted in a vacuum. They become part and parcel of all the trials and tribulations managers face in their day to day work. ACORD Standards are always part of a larger software development project that brings along people, priorities and politics. Adopting industry standards isn't simple, but the benefits far outweigh the problems of building and maintaining proprietary alternatives.

I trust that you will appreciate my frankness, identify with some of the challenges and learn from what others have done to pave the way.
