Anyone that knows me a little more then seeing me at the conferences, knows that I am a strong believer in people enabling technology. Technology that enables people do more, with less, better and more efficiently. I followed this passion for enabling people in my first Software product, in my first business support deal as a small business, and I am continuing to follow that passion in every company or technology that I work in or with.
Below I have a link to a great video from Microsoft and their People_Ready campaign. Take a look at their site and use the message from that campaign as your tools to better align business, IT and the most important part of the equation - the People that will use it.

I wish you, your business and what ever you attempt to accomplish in life to be people focused, not simply bottom line for sake of bottom line or IT for sake of IT or cool gadget or technology. Saying that, my blog might soon turn to direction of discussion this topic more often, comments appreciated and will be heard.
