Hi there. I have been out all week talking to customers in finance, government, telecommunications, airlines and others about the impact of identity on the running of their businesses. The interesting thing is that we have moved from talking about the management OF identities to the management of our business BY identity. Identity is what brings meaning and security to business transactions. We have a new white paper. This is the final draft that I wanted to share with you (before it's published on Sun.com) because it's all about this topic. This paper is the first in a series that we're putting together on the subject of Accelerating without Fear. It's focused on how identity management helps business gear up for rapid growth in the Participation Age. Let me know what you think.

I had to share this comic strip with you all, it's hilarious.

As many of you know, my husband and I decided to take the TV out of our home five years ago. Best decision we ever made! Instead of watching life go by, we’re living it, participating in it.

I challenge everyone to go a week without TV and please let me know how it goes, what you learn, what I’m missing (if anything!). Would love to hear about your experiences.
