As we dive into 2012, no one wants to forget the best lessons learned or articles read from the past year. I’ve compiled some of Bluewolf’s top blogs from 2011 in this effort. From emerging and cloud technology talk to salesforce.com’s Chatter, there’s something here for C-levels and job-seekers alike.

Here are some of the strongest thought leadership pieces around how a changing IT landscape has transformed business and the workforce:

• CIOs Need To Be More Like Mad Men
• The Coming Leadership Gap: The Answer May Lie In The Clouds
• The Consumerization Of IT: Resolving IT’s Love-Hate Relationship
• Is Nearshoring The New IT Outsourcing?
• Configuring Your Organization For Innovation: More Than Smart People And Cool Platforms

With the poor job economy this past year, it’s not surprising that everyone loved an informative blog on professional development. Check out these stand-outs:

• How To Land Your Dream Job In 2011
• Top 5 Technologies In 2012: How To Sharpen Your Skills
• 5 Reasons Why Getting Salesforce Certified Can Help You Get A Raise

There’s been a decline of 7 million jobs since 2007. Today, 40% of hiring managers can’t find the talent for more than 6 months to fill their open positions. The jobs problem is partly due to the existing talent gap. Our jobs initiative - that gives free Salesforce training to the unemployed to help bridge this gap - has continued to spark a large response. Here are some of the most widely read of our blogs on the topic:

• Free Salesforce Training For The Unemployed Announced At Cloudforce NYC!
• Unemployment Stories: Free Salesforce Training Update
• The Unemployment Stories: Video Submissions 1
• The Unemployment Stories: This Is Not A Recession. This Is A Revolution.

Much Ado about Salesforce and Chatter:
