There is an update to Inherent risk to globalization of BPM story. WSJ Business Technology editor Ben Worthen reports
Authorities in Dubai have impounded two ships they believe cut undersea communications cables earlier this year, disrupting Internet access in the Middle East and India in the process.
Great news! But apparent vulnerability and lack of redundancy keeps my concerns about Global service availability risks alive.
There are many excellent blogs and other resources on the Internet which explore methodologies and Best Practices for business process re-engineering, project management, systems implementation, software engineering, and change management. However I could not find much help with unlocking value of integrated utilization of these disciplines to facilitate Organizational Transformation. In this blog I would like to focus on this subject. I would like to stress that this is not an academic inquiry, but a practitioner's desire to discuss and share practical business knowledge and Best Practices. Let's see how it evolves - "Every brilliant idea quickly degenerates into a lot of hard work" - Peter Drucker.
Alcatel-Lucent released an animation a few days ago that illustrates how these underwater cables are actually repaired. I just thought I would provide the link if anyone is interested in having a look.
