Just started reading the Howard Smith and Peter Fingar 
critical analysis of Nicholas Carr's IT Article in 
the Harvard Business Review.. 
titled "IT Doesn't Matter Business Processes Do".  
The concept of "core and context" is intriguing.

Diane,

Do you have a link for this possibly?

I know Peter and Howard have been following the work
we've been doing over in the BCM team - and the notion of 
"putting business first" resonates with them.

I'd be interested to know how close the Appendix B - Executive Introduction
available here is:

 http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/bcm/download.php/3169/BCM.AppendixB.LinkingSwitching.2003-08-07.pdf

to what Peter and Howard are envisioning.

Cheers, DW.
