My presentation from the 2012 ARMA NCR IM Days conference is available for download:

A few resources of interest and great inspiration, with apologies for being so old-school: I could have written whole posts about any one of these, and this is only a partial set of citations. The age of Internet learning and too-busy-thinking-to-write-about-it, I guess.
