????四大會計事務所中的很多機構（也是最近招募大學畢業(yè)生最多的雇主）都出臺了這樣的政策，鼓勵員工自帶iPad或智能手機上班。也就是說，讓企業(yè)生活占據這些員工私人設備的一小塊，而不是為員工配備企業(yè)設備，然后讓員工的私人生活占據企業(yè)設備的一小塊。企業(yè)消費化的趨勢已經不遠了。

????過去10年里，首席信息官們一直在走合并和外包的路線，以便最大可能地享受規(guī)模經濟的好處。不過，今天在企業(yè)防火墻之外的規(guī)模經濟已經令企業(yè)的內部規(guī)模經濟相形見絀，而且企業(yè)承擔的經濟風險也比過去小得多。與此同時，所謂的“勞動套利”可以直接在互聯網上完成，無需發(fā)布征求建議書。不過，許多首席執(zhí)行官都發(fā)現自己缺乏必要的網絡技能，無力應對這個基礎架構、處理能力和勞動力都綽綽有余的新世界。

????頂級的首席執(zhí)行官正在建立一些小型團隊，讓他們與業(yè)務部門結成對子，授權他們在企業(yè)防火墻以外毫無障礙地進行創(chuàng)新。同時他們也在打造一支正式的企業(yè)技術團隊，與主要的云技術廠商建立關系，為創(chuàng)新團隊提供實時支持。這樣的首席信息官才稱得上信息企業(yè)家，也只有他們才能帶領企業(yè)邁進新的商業(yè)時代。

????對于那些愿意重新思考企業(yè)業(yè)務環(huán)境的首席信息官來說，云計算和移動技術為他們提供了無限的可能。只有具有相當前瞻性、愿意嘗試新的業(yè)務模式的首席信息官（哪怕只是從低風險的云應用開始）才能成為最后的贏家。

????Many of the big four accounting firms (the largest employer of recent college grads) have already instituted such a policy and are encouraging employees to bring their iPad or smartphone to work. The company occupies a small piece of real estate on those devices as opposed to the employee's personal life occupying a small piece of real estate on a corporate device. The consumerization of the enterprise is upon us.

????For the last 10 years, CIOs tried to consolidate and outsource as much as possible to gain the benefits of economies of scale. Today, however, the economies of scale outside the firewall dwarf most enterprises' internal economies―with a fraction of the economic risk. At the same time, labor arbitrage can be accomplished without an RFP right over the Internet. Many CIOs have found themselves flat footed without the necessary internal skills to harness a world where infrastructure, processing capacity, and labor are available in abundance.

????The best CIOs are building small teams, partnering them with business units, and giving them a mandate to innovate with no barriers outside of the firewall. They are also building a serious enterprise technology team to build relationships to the major cloud vendors and evolve their offerings and relationships to support going live with these innovator teams. These are the CIOs that are intrapreneurs and the breed that will take their companies into the next generation of business.

????Both cloud and mobile technology offer untold possibilities for CIOs who are willing to rethink their business environments. Those proactive enough to experiment with new business models, even if they only start with low-risk cloud-based applications, are the ones who will succeed.
