Glad to see there are people in other financial sector firms who believe in blogs and wikis for creating enterprise value. Let me know whenever I can help. Hi JD, welcome to the conversation.

I am a Risk Manager for a financial services firm and at my firm it is actually against corp IT policy to use any free software. Of course I use open source and free software every day because some of my favorite add ins for Excel are free... and I host an internal Wordpress blog for industry news for our department, and I host a project wiki page by running MediWiki software. All of this is actually a direct and blatant violation of corporate IT policy. One day I will get in a tumble with some IT contractor who tells me I am out of compliance. That should be interesting. In the mean time I am reading your blog on my home laptop running Ubuntu Linux and my internet traffic is routed through an IP Cop firewall based on Linux. I'm not really a devotee of open source... they just seem to often be the best tool at the best price. Keep up the good blogging. I came to your site from Sean's. Good work. -jd JP, I read your post and it made me smile. I am a Risk Manager for a financial services firm and at my firm it is actually against corp IT policy to use any free software.

It feels to me that this is a variant of "character is defined not by the problems you face but by the response you make". Relationships, as also the trust that binds them, work on a similar principle. Couldn’t agree more, James.

If there's never a shared problem in your relationship with your customer, then you actually build very little loyalty. It's the moment when there is a problem that will make or break your relationship. If you react well, your reputation is enhanced, your customer's loyalty is increased and they'll actually evangelise you to others. If you react badly, then the opposite may well occur.
