Abstract

Recent analyses from Gartner and the Economist Intelligence Unit suggest that, to be successful, businesses should welcome individual use of technology to break through traditional business barriers and should take advantage of disruptive new technologies. Recent technologies that information professionals may wish to pursue include software to predict trending topics on Twitter, and an app that summarises news stories automatically. Neither of these technologies may end up working effectively – but the most innovative companies will also permit and harness failure.
