As you may have noticed from the last post, IBM’s Sam Palmisano visited the Chatham House stage in London today having delivered a speech titled ‘Welcome to the Decade of Smart.’ Throughout tonight (and over the coming days) we will be posting content and links to images and video from the event here, as they become available.
From the post-event materials being distributed:
On January 12, 2010, Samuel J. Palmisano, IBM Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officers, addressed business and civic leaders at Chatham House in London. In his remarks, he described how forward-thinking leaders in business, government and civil society around the world are capturing the potential of smarter systems to achieve economic growth, near-term efficiency, sustainable development and societal progress.

Today, Steve Lohr of the New York Times published a brief article about the speech that takes a look at the past year of Smarter Planet work from IBM.
Paul Glader of the Wall Street Journal published an article today as well that examines aspects of IBM’s Smarter Planet initiative.
As our planet becomes smarter – more interconnected, instrumented, and intelligent – organizations around the world are transforming their workplaces not only by managing their processes more efficiently, but also by unleashing the genius and creativity of the workforce itself.
Everywhere we look, Internet and digital technologies, along with rapid marketplace shifts, are transforming how we work today — how we share information, build relationships and make decisions.
In this video, smart work is explained through simple storytelling and illustrations.
Today, IBM will kick off a 72-hour global “Jam”— a large scale Web 2.0 venue — to explore how work will evolve in the future. Register here and participate in the conversation.
