A good summary of the increasing importance of business knowledge in the IT arena.
SOA market drivers today.
An interesting observation on Six Sigma and innovation.

WalterRSmith: I'm a systems engineer and architect involved in large system development. I'm interested in how individuals and organizations transform knowledge into decisions, and how "DNA-level" influences like identity, trust, and values shape sensemaking. My approach to these topics is grounded in a synthesis of concepts from social psychology, cognitive science, and complexity science. Recent influences include Dave Snowden (Cynefin), Gary Klein (data-frame model), and Karl Weick. Less recent influences are a wide range of writers and researchers in the areas of complex adaptive systems and chaos theory.
