The global business unit is meeting within the next two weeks.  The business unit leadership wants to be educated on IS strategy and services.  There are a number of factors that limit a drive toward tranformational strategy (in my thinking) including: local project funding, limited shared-services (leading to local hosting), non-standard business processes.

What would you advise to bring the business from 'don't know what they don't know' to 'know they don't know?'

There is significant organizatioinal learning required to move from local => regional => global.  We all know it is easy to say global -- it's not so easy to behave global.

Thank you.  Sal

I recently come across a video from Ted, featuring Eli Pariser, that discuss how web browsers and web sites filters information. The video called "Beware of Online Filter Bubbles" is excellent and a must see to all. Eli does an excellent job making the point that web browsers and some web sites are locking users in a bubble of information relevance.
