"Over the last four decades, management has chased itself obsessively up a blind alley of its own making. Organizations operate differently to markets, emphasizing cooperation, teamwork and innovation where markets work on competition and operational efficiency. Today’s misshapen, pessimistic command-and-control management model is driving us ever deeper into error."
“Too many chiefs”, RSA Journal, February 2007

I learned with sadness this morning that Michael Hammer, who, together with James Champy, set off a process improvement revolution with their seminal Reengineering the Corporation, has died. While I did not know Dr. Hammer personally, his family, friends and colleagues should know that he inspired a generation of process professionals - and set in motion the careers of an army of consultants who have undoubtedly helped thousands of companies realize greater value from their operations.
Having left pieces of himself in countless organizations that have benefited from his ideas, Dr. Hammer leaves an enduring legacy, a little slice of immortality.

I was unable to attend Oracle’s BEA Strategy Briefing on July 1, but fortunately enough I made it to their respective BEA Day in Hotel Kämp, Helsinki, today. Kimmo Vilen, CEO of Oracle Finland, opened the day on behalf of both companies. He referred to the previous successful mergers of Oracle in Finland (e.g. Siebel, Hyperion) [...]

I woke up this morning to see this on the screen:
Something has automatically installed itself into my Mozilla without my permission. What was it? I don’t know. The screen above does not actually say what was installed. It might be the Michelangelo virus for all I know. And there is nothing listed in the list of extensions. There is a list of plug-ins, so it might have been a plug in, but which one?
But I did not ask for anything to be installed. There was no little pop up window saying “About to install….are you sure?” I had no idea that something was being installed. That spells virus city.
Why am I so sensitive? Last Thursday I installed Firefox 3.0. On sunday my computer was infected with a virus that took over the screen saver. I attempted to remove it manually, including a number of removal tools, but in the end wiped the computer and re-installed windows. Not a fun way to spend a Sunday evening. I am pretty sure that source of the infection was Firefox, and having just installed Firefox 3, it makes me wonder if there is a security flaw in the new version.
So now I am running on a computer with almost nothing on it (it will be a few days before I get all my normal software installed). In this relatively sterile environment, I am finding pieces of software automatically installing themselves. Not good.
Kudos to the Mozilla folks for providing an alert saying that something happened, but how hard would it have been to include the NAME of the add-in in the alert? Real security would be to have a list of every extension to the software listed, where it came from, as well as the date and time that it was installed. Maybe even the signature on the code for verification.
I am probably overreacting to this, but given my recent experience, I am justifiably nervous. Hmmm, maybe that Google Chrome is starting to look a tiny bit more attaractive.
