Bouncing Thoughts

A ‘life-changing’ event that occurred sometime late February has beamed me to CT, and has had me completely off my blog, practically cutting me off from all my friends on Twitter and in general the #bpm fraternity. The event? A BPM project!

So now you know it wasn’t just to me that it was a life-changing event!

BPM Rocks!

So it appears we really are pulling out of the recession – albeit cautiously. A new release by IDC says, “there are plenty of positive signs in the market index – the stock market and U.S. economic forecasts are up, inflation remains under control, and even U.S. unemployment appears to have hit bottom," Interestingly, this release also brings up the fact that penalties of not spending are growing each month, “in costs to support older equipment and software, and in lost opportunity to use IT for competitive advantage." So one would wonder then whether there is sort of a buyer fatigue from holding back spend and initiatives that is more compelling than a case of release of budgets resulting from actual revival of the market itself.

It is likely to be both. I hope!

Writing code is art. It is creativity. It is being creator. It is being Yehudi Menuhin, standing in front of a hundred artists playing different instruments making different sounds, yet purposefully orchestrating them, fusing them, blending them all into sound that transforms to reach your ears as brilliant music. The greatness then lies not in their ability to play an instrument or yours of conducting a hundred artists but in making them achieve the effect of your audience losing a breath, a moment, indeed themselves.

The effect, the outcome, the result is the real creation. Not the method.

Not the process itself, but its performance.
