BTW: this site looks a bit funky in Google’s new browser, Chrome…

It could be because Chrome is still a bit buggy (beta release)… but now that we have a new browser on the market, it means yet another browser to test your website in!

Isn’t the free market fun?

If you are looking to maximize value in your IT organization, you may want to consider implementing ValIT (sister of COBIT) that was recently put out by ISACA:

http://www.isaca.org/Template.cfm?Section=COBIT6&template=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=25060

Project Managers, Auditors and Executives will be looking to the ValIT framework to assist them in ensuring that their IT investment is driven by the need to deliver value and by ensuring that their IT investment actually delivers value.

Too many CIOs are delivering technology for technology’s sake and that leads to unnecessary overhead.

Even as a lawyer looking for value in your organization, you may find this framework to be interesting.

For this to catch on for trial lawyers, there would have to be a change in Rules of Civil Procedure regarding how to prepare a Bill of Costs. Don’t see that happening any time soon

That lead over the competition can also include knowing what matters aren’t profitable, and which work to avoid.

Thanks for picking up the post, Jordan.
