Still recovering from the effects of my dizzying Number 10 Ranking yesterday. Pretty respectable when you consider I haven't once used the word porn.  Apparently it pays to update regularly on a Sunday when most people are doing something more intelligent. 12:33:05 PM | permalink | comment [] |

Organizational Development (OD) and Intranets "I have helped many different companies develop knowledge strategies, ranging from global giant Motorola to small, fast moving start-ups. In the last six years I have seen the focus of knowledge management quickly move from an early emphasis on technologies and databases to a keen appreciation of how deeply corporate knowledge is embedded in people's experience. Some companies have invested millions of dollars in technologies only to find that people don't use them." [via Serious Instructional Technology]
This kind of thing stems from a recurring logic than runs like this: If I can use a word processor, I must be a writer. This blurring of the lines between the technology and the task has been a tremendous financial boon to the software industry while devaluing the very skills they seek to augment. 12:04:56 PM | permalink | comment [] |
