You’re a marketer, which means you’ve got information, lots of information: You are managing data and communications in customer, prospect, channel partner and newsletter lists, social networking contacts, financial data, and plenty more from partners and vendors.
For many business people, all this data is living on what my partner, Eric Anderson, calls Information Islands.
Integrating all your data in a smart way is Execution Responsible, and in Time to get off Information Island, Eric explains why you need to move this info to the Mainland, the benefits of doing so, and how to sell it internally.

Hey, Patrick–is this the same Eric Anderson who used to hang out on Pub-Forum? I cite him in Principled Profit: Marketing that Puts People First (as a contrarian to my argument about why market share doesn’t matter).
His bio sounds like he could be the same guy. Please give him a big howdy (what a small world it is!).
