This means that the open source community must evolve to stay relevant...

Open Source Goes Corporate: Can Open Healthcare Be Far Behind?
If you aren't in IT, you may have missed the news that IBM is acquiring Red Hat, a leader in the open source Linux movement, or that, a couple days prior, Microsoft closed on its acquisition of GitHub, a leader in open source software development.

I must confess, I had never heard of some of these companies, but I'm starting to believe what MarketWatch said following the IBM announcement: "open source has truly arrived." What exactly that means, especially for healthcare, I'm not sure, but it's worth exploring. IBM is paying $34b for Red Hat.

Marketing as we know it has changed dramatically, especially in the B2B world. I bet you're not surprised to hear me say that. I'm not the first to say it, and I certainly won't be the last. Observing changes to companies' methods for engaging their customers is the easy part. What's harder is understanding the nature of those changes and what they mean for you and your marketing teams. But as luck would have it, I recently found some help thinking through this a few weeks ago, when my local chapter of the American Marketing Association asked me to participate in a panel on the future of marketing...
