As the rock band Semisonic once sang, “Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” I’m sad to say this blog post marks a beginning’s end for me. It will be my final blog post as I leave the Microsoft Enterprise Productivity team for another opportunity.

Yet out of this beginning’s end comes a new beginning for this blog itself. Going forward, the Future of Productivity blog will continue under the leadership of the Enterprise Productivity Marketing team.  It will include posts from the team itself, as well as guest posts from executives and experts from both inside and outside Microsoft.

As always, the goal of this blog will be to help you keep your finger on the pulse of productivity transformation in the enterprise. We at Microsoft are committed to helping you find creative ways to boost productivity while at the same time increasing your organization’s bottom line. To do that, this blog will continue to provide you with the tangible insights, vision, information, and action you need to achieve the highest level of productivity for your employees.

As with each of our careers, business productivity is a journey – one that involves many endings and beginnings as “cutting edge technology” continues to redefine itself.  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your journey as you strive to make your organization as strong and efficient as it can be. I wish you lots of great endings and beginnings along the way.
