Biography

This article was first published at The Content Economy in September 2007.

Only the first two articles in the series were published back then. However, since the I have been working with these issues full time for a huge number of large customers. The scope has been from business strategy to implementation of business and IT-solutiuons with end customer benefits.

My conclusion after six years is that all this is still valid and it is worth to share my thoughts and experiences with you.
