Enterprises everywhere are finding themselves in a position where they must accommodate workplace consumerization. The next logical step would be to go all the way and institute a BYOC policy. But, how does an IT leader go about instituting these new workplace computing paradigms? What is a right balance? How far should we take it? Are there any limits?

BYOC - I am seeing this treand as well

This is becoming more prevalent - especially with tablets.
It will be interesting if policies extend to IP on personal systems and tablets. This could have significant security, ownership and responsibility issues for both staff and the enterprise.

BYOC & Your Search for a Job in Tech

Bill says on this program that he sees the trend towards BYOC - bring your own computer - as not only inevitable, but as disruptive "as the advent of the PC itself." Anybody applying for a technology executive, management, or individual contributor job needs to convey an understanding of the profound changes this trend will produce, not just in the IT function, but across the enterprise. Great program Sanjay, Bill, and Steve!
