Long known as a diverse group of top-notch thought leaders, the Enterprise Irregulars has added three new members. Given the turmoil and change swirling around the enterprise software industry, it's an exciting time for this group of bloggers, investors, industry veterans, consultants, analysts, journalists, and practitioners.
The Irregulars group was founded in early 2006, catalyzed by Jeff Nolan, who was an SAP executive at the time. Jeff was instrumental in bringing a small team of bloggers to SAP's large user conference, called Sapphire; that group eventually crystallized into the Enterprise Irregulars. Today, the Irregulars group consists of about 60 members.
Many folks have heard of the Irregulars and wonder whether it's a company, an organization, or perhaps even a sports team. In truth, it's a loose affiliation of folks who share a common abiding interest in the broad world of enterprise software.
Although some members may share economic relationships, the group itself has no specific organizational structure or hierarchy. The primary criteria for membership are strong enterprise focus, experience, and capability. There's no membership director, or any other position of authority, so the group makes decisions by consensus.
Given the diversity of members' backgrounds and positions, it's no surprise that informed analysis and debate rule group discussions. This debate and exchange of views yields exciting insights and deeper understanding of enterprise-relevant topics. That's one reason why senior executives from many enterprise companies seek to brief the Irregulars.
You can see a list of participating Enterprise Irregulars on the group's website, and I urge you to take a look. However, I do want to introduce three new members, each of whom is a leader in their respective field:
