The document discusses strategies for category creation based on lessons learned over 20 years. It recommends defining a new category by creating a "playing field" and planning around both category and demand. The next steps are to capture innovators who will lead the category, followed by pragmatists. Examples are given of how mobile technology, portable media, SaaS, and electric vehicles emerged as new categories. The challenges faced by CIOs with numerous vendors and events are also summarized.

Why is that? CIOs are mired with complexity and ambiguous methods for measuring value. (share insights: e.g. bad tools, ambiguity, hard to measure, etc.)
