It’s from the Collaborative Technologies Conference, which was also in Boston the same week as the Sloan CIO Symposium.

You can’t see the slides in the video, but it sounds as though he’s speaking from the same deck. He’s a bit less cautious about CIO control, and leans more toward the employee-as-consumer.

Widespread user adoption of familiar, often free consumer-oriented Web tools has left IT professionals scrambling to balance permissiveness and paternalism. Fact is, workers like consumer technologies–whether instant messaging, E-mail from Yahoo or Microsoft with abundant storage, information-sharing sites, or handy Web apps–often better than the tech tools their companies prescribe. At the same time, employees shouldn’t be allowed to download the latest Google beta just because they can. System security and management are still critical considerations, often with legal and regulatory teeth behind them.

But if IT pros are seen only as “The Ones Who Say No,” they risk surrendering their roles as innovators.
