Nishant’s question touches upon two of the hobgoblins of identity: context and intention.  I talked about issues of context years ago in an unrefined form.

This week I have been out here in Utah working at Burton Group’s headquarters trying to figure out what I will be researching in the coming quarters.  I have not found my research topics yet, but in conversations with the team it is becoming clear to me that lurking behind a lot of the topics we’d like to dig into are the problems of describing context and recognizing intentionality.  We’ll see what the coming months of research uncover.

After a few years in the making, I have joined Burton Group as a senior analyst on the Identity and Privacy Strategies team.  The first day at a new job is always a little gut churning.  When that first day is the first day of the Catalyst conference it gets even more interesting.

Today I found myself on stage with the rest of the team during the Identity Management market overview presentation.  Stoically silent, I scanned the room for friends in the industry.  Needless to say there were more than a few very surprised people.

As my first real act as an analyst I recorded an introductory podcast – Not bad as an intro.  Obviously, there will be more to come as I take on my research projects.  Stay tuned!

This is my fifth or sixth Catalyst conference and will be a bit different for me.  I’ll explain more next week.

See you there.
