Taking a critical look at market and technology development around the enterprise space.


ellementK: (ĕll'ǝ-mǝnt-kā) noun - A fundamental, essential, or irreducible constituent of a composite entity. Middle English, from Old French, from Latin elementum. In this case, also related to the modern French mentir, to lie. (adapted from Dictionary.com)


About Eleanor Kruszewski: I'm known variously as Eleanor or Elle. My last name is like that coach from Duke - kru-shef-ski.

Based in Menlo Park, CA, I work for Yahoo! in their Developer Network. The easiest description of what I do is the MBA shin kicker, handling community, marketing, commercial programs and sundry backend stuff.

Disclaimer: I've done big corps, midcorps, and startups, so I overstate and oversimplify as much as anyone else. These opinions are my own, not my employer's.

Report from ASP Sept 2004 meeting - SRI Scanning Process

This event yesterday was tremendously useful. People from the Business Intelligence group of SRI Consulting (formerly connected with Stanford as the Stanford Research Institute but now private) presented on how they track change in the marketplace.

Their process is very similar to what I’ve been doing here, but their format of Summary and Implications will be very useful. I will be including a summary with each blog post which will be followed by an explicit implications section.

As a future planning item, I think SRI’s services can be of tremendous value to NEC as a corporation. They have offices in Tokyo and focus on providing intelligence on emerging trends covering technology, culture and business. I set up a call to learn more about their services and pricing for next week and will share more in-depth information after that.

I also need to track down the presentation. I will post the link here when I get it.
