Re: Communication is everything
@DHagar:
You really made a key point. That ability to attaract and enlarge real users for any technology would yield to good outcomes, could either be positive or negative feedback. That feedback would genuinely help transformation process for organizations as the feedback can be trustworthy because it is coming from real users. That user focusesed / driven technology transformations would add real value to the organizations and in turn to marketplae as well.

Re: Communication is everything
@dcawrey, I agree. It you are not in the race you will get left behind. You have to be a player to remain competitive. In addition, NFV has several benefits and will help companies generate additional revenue.

Lull
CenturyLink had a lull because they did not have the right leadership, the right plan or both. When embarking on a major initiative you have to hire the right people, the right implementation plan and the funding. You also need to create a mitigation strategy if things don't go as planned. Seems like Century Link needs someone to help clean up the mess.

Communication is Critical
Strong effective communication is critical for success in anything you do. Communication played a factor in the Century Link lull. Employees and leadership also have to change the corporate culture within the organization which probably also contributed to the lull.

Collaboration
Communication requires collaboration among team and across departments that may not have occurred in the past. A plan has to be developed to overcome those communication/teamwork hurdles. There has to be a liasion that can speak to each team and foster communication across the departments so they can work together to achieve a common goal.

Revelation
When strong communication occurs issues are detected, gaps are found and risks can be minimized. You can determine the LOE and ETA for work tasks. Asking questions also helps people feel appreciated and important and they are more inclined to contribute and take ownership of tasks. This makes it easier to foster solutions.

Re: Communication is everything
@ms.akkineni, good vision. Plus it actually creates an entirely new level of user - business, as opposed to solely working through IT.

Re: Communication is everything
@ms.akkineni, well said. It begins to focus on the user and solve the real problems that will also deliver value immediately. Plus, knowledgeable users will better understand the results and you set in motion a continual chain of events of building information and knowledge.
After all, the value of technology is data.
Re: Communication is everything
@DHagar:
Great point. That business user involvement would make wonders in terms of getting to a real meaningful product that buisness needs practically. It becomes even more interesting if that business user engagemnet comes from high level / C level folks.
Re: Communication is everything
@Dhagar:
Completely agree with your comment.
Knowledgeable users certainly would understand the results better, as well as identify gaps efficiently. That would make IT folks life easier to focus on approach for brdging those gaps with efficient solution capabilities both short and longer term.
