I agree that we need a new organizing principle that describes (and enables) us to start closing the gap between IT and the business. I'm not sure from the article what the principle is. I get the sense of a strategy to at least stop the patchwork beasts that many organizations are at risk of becoming.
You propose several current trends determining what "CoIT" could look like in the future:
1) businesses taking more local control for IT,
2) workers using their own preferred computing devices and apps, and a
3) manageable processes for rapid uptake of enterprise apps, mashups, and devices matched with IT support processes that scale to match.
The 3 drivers your cite (which perhaps can be formulated at 3 principles) are:
? Decentralized (or at least distributed) governance
? IT support that scales up to the new app/device proliferation
? Business led IT solutions with an enabling infrastructure
So are these the principles or is there a summary principle that I missed?
