The horror of Tuesday highlights a fundamental security issue for all corporations.
Many companies lost some if not all of their foremost financial thinkers and shapers with subsequent consequence on worlds economy. What if a major IT Player had been eliminated? What if Microsoft HQ or Cisco HQ had been taken out? Think of all the knowledge and loss of support etc for every business world wide. Not just the next few days/weeks, but 1+ year down the line. Should we be proposing in projects to spread geographically key business areas?

I've been thinking of that too.

You might want to check a posting near the top of the discussion dealing with providing IT help to NYC.

Another thing to think about is how things like telecommuting and satellite business centers could work.
I suspect that a lot of office workers could work from home IF they had the bandwidth. That would be one way of decentralizing things while providing a lot of personal and community benefits.

Having satellite centers could also work, especially if they were within walking distance of the workers. Imagine being able to walk or bicycle to work. What used to be an hour commute could be greatly cut back in the right communities.

and much of the damage lies in losing people. It's hard to have redundancy in multiple sites of your top thinkers etc.
