It’s always good to look back over the year and recognize people who’ve done good work. CIO Insight does just that in How to Keep IT Up With a Rapidly Changing Business. The winners all stress different things: “collaboration/alignment,” “disaster recovery,” “selling in the streets as a new business model,” “accountability” and so on.

What’s your claim to fame for this year? What did you do right? What did you do to make your customers happier or your employees more empowered? Today take a few minutes, list the good stuff, pat yourself on the back, and then express your gratitude to all those who helped you get it done.

Have a peaceful New Year’s eve and a prosperous new year.
