Emerging tech often takes a while to get into the enterprise. This year's watchlist shows that there's plenty of hot new spaces to watch, while a few much older trends are just now reaching mainstream.
Farid Mheir's insight:

I always like these quadrants. Not so much for the rating or the position of bubbles, triangles, or squares but for the insight it provides into the trends of the day. 


I always appreciate Dion's viewpoint as he often tries to make sense of ideas and concepts that float around without much structure. In this case, the list is worth reading, if only to keep up to speed with the buzzwords (I did not know there was such a thing a "the quantified enterprise" - wow).


Moreover, as I've been trying to help my clients handle the "enterprise 2.0" since its early days, I find that what was initially a fairly well defined concept (bringing social into the enterprise) has now grown into a mix-grill of digital technologies - which is much in-line with the digital transformation of businesses I care so much about.
