I'm Michael Krigsman, founder of consulting and research firm Asuret. My primary areas of interest are IT success, social business transformation, and related CIO issues.

In addition to consulting, I often help enterprise vendors with marketing messages and positioning on technology products.

I have created thought leadership reports for major analyst firm, IDC, on project portfolio management, CRM, social business, and cloud computing. My work has been mentioned about 700 times in newspapers, television, trade publications, presentations, academic dissertations, important blogs, and other media. I have been quoted in almost 20 books and write about social business and CIO issues for the Wall Street Journal.
