Interesting and thought provoking post by former analyst Dana Gardner on why blogs and the information abundance is a threat to Gartner:
Self-IT analysis is the wave of the future (Dana Gardner, ZDNet.com)
His analysis is quite similar to Jame's (read this).
There's of course the reverse argument: too much information kills information, there's a role for someone to package it for users and make money in the process (read this post on Vinnie's blog).
We however remain sceptical about Gartner's consulting business (would be nice to hear from the chaps at Accenture, Deloitte, Cap, PWC, IBM, E&Y if they ever lost a deal to Gartner?)

Hey there ARonaut - you should know your analysts better! It's Dana, not Donna - and Dana is a "he", not a "she".
Definitely. He reminds me of Locke from "Lost"...
:-)
Thanks Neil -that was just one of those dyslexic moments....
We've lost deals to Gartner, usually because someone in the organization has a relationship with a Gartner analyst or consultant so they push the work to them.
"WE" as in a big 5 I guess?
