I recently had the opportunity to co-author a post with Chris Curran over at the CIO Dashboard blog. It is an update on a post he did last year considering some innovations to watch in 2011. We spent some time thinking about some emerging tech trends in 2012 and what the opportunities are to the CIO/CTO community (i.e. what should you be thinking about to get ahead of the curve on the trends).
I think it's a fun post. You should check it out.
