Alexandra Levits Water Cooler Wisdom What Google Glass Means for Your Workday

Alexandra Levit's Water Cooler Wisdom What Google Glass Means for Your Workday First of all, does it mean anything? The initial buzz around Google Glass focused on consumer usage: taking photos, recording video, playing games, getting directions, etc. Over at PC Mag, however, Samara Lynn has made the leap. Here’s what Lynn has to say regarding how and why Google Glass will find its way into business: “We can’t ignore that the IT business landscape has changed. It’s no longer about IT telling a worker: “Here’s your work-assigned computer, here are the programs you are allowed to use, and have at it.” It’s now the worker asking IT: “These are technology devices I use in my daily life. How can I get my work done with them?” The consumerization of IT is one big reason why Google Glass will find its way into enterprises.” Here’s where you might see it sooner rather than later: Custom business app stores. As with smartphones, Google Glass will be all about the apps. An emerging trend is the apps store being tailored for business. Companies will custom-make business app stores for clients and present workers with new ways to get their jobs done. Employees will get involved too. Google Glass app development actually opens up a new area for intrapreneurship, or the process of innovation within the context of an established organization.
