I have changed the subtitle of this weblog from

Managing information systems

to

Architecting IT Governance

This I think throws into sharper focus the purpose of this blog. "Managing information systems" hearkens back to MIS (i.e. "Management Information Systems") which is quite an outdated term in the industry. (Not that appearing outdated necessarily bothers me -- IT is too much of a fashion show anyways). The important point is that this blog is not about ALL things MIS/IT but rather the particular issue of "how to efficiently and effectively architect, automate and support internal IT business processes." The term "IT Governance" has emerged as a useful shorthand in the past 12 months, one I'm adopting frequently in presenting and writing, so consider this a vote of confidence for whoever coined it.

Expect more postings in a few weeks - counting down to June 10th for reasons I'll go into then.
