Bill Schrier is the CIO for the City of Seattle and he blogs.
His latest posting is on the relentless move to social media and how it can help government interact with its citizenry. All the IT changes that have happened have moved us along a trail of bits and bites, computing our way into the 21st Century.
While it is natural to resist change--change is inevitable. Perhaps not always for the good, but change will happen. I think the issue is not "Should we change?" but "When should we change?" Timing a change is as important as the change itself. Change to early and you have lots of grief to go with it. Change to late and you then are trying to catch up with market and societal forces.
Be sure and pop-in occasionally to read Bill's blog. I think you will read thoughtful postings that will assist you in deciding when to adopt and change technologies or at least your thinking on a topic.
