Good quote
I’d like to share a quote I read in an article recently. While it’s pretty amusing, I think there’s a good lesson behind it. While sharing this with friends in other industries, the response back that you could have substituted the hot concept from their discipline just as easily.
Here it is:
George Westerman, a research scientist who is studying ERM in relation to information technology at MIT, says that in its current state, ERM reminds him of what someone once said about e-commerce in the 90s: It’s like teenage sex. “Everyone wants to be doing it. Everyone thinks everybody else is doing it. Not many people are actually doing it, and no one is doing it particularly well.”

I guess you don’t know how much you don’t know until you learn it. Any way you look at it… it’s good to be a company that is open to finding your own blind spots.
