A New Era of Rejuvenation Has Dawned

It's morning in the IT world. More change looms ahead but the megatrend Y2K and dot.com-to-dot.bomb shakedowns and shakeouts have receded into yesterday's night.

Gone is the time when the lack of a strategic or operational business plan was "no problem." Gone is the time when easy access to Other People's Money fueled adrenal frenzy. Gone is the celebration of "thriving chaos" Tom Peters presumably had in mind when he authored a book with a similar name.

Also in retreat is the "cult of personality" period in IT where the charismatic guru was surrounded by a gaggle of sharp-elbowed techies who had maneuvered into a coveted concentric position around the guru, e.g., first circle, second circle, etc. The "charismatic" era is giving way to the "rational" era.
