Dear Reader,
I finally managed to update the blog process and information management. During the Christmas season is not easy. Everyone is stressed. Fortunately, the end in sight and then - I hope - will be here to see with increasing regularity to new posts. So before I forget:
I wish you a quiet and peaceful Christmas and a prosperous 2007.
few weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit KnowTech in Munich. For me, now in its third Time this event has confirmed once again my views on the subject of knowledge and information management. At the very beginning was a Key Note, where a representative of the company S. Oliver. And there they were again, the incredible figures, from megabytes to gigabytes on the open-ended ESC-scale (we-save-all). Was presented in this context also a "small solution" to mobile company representative. On the computers, the speakers, but only part of the overall data could be found. Then the question from one of the audience whether the "few" would be sufficient for megabytes to work. The answer: "Yes, but ..."
In one of the forums KnowTech a similar picture. Just a debate about how best the method of storytelling can use in the company, even someone asks whether it would be better, such personal stories somewhere to store a company's intranet. Then we would have no more they tell you what too much eh Takes time, and everyone in the company (think global) could read the story immediately. All much more efficient! But also effective, so effective?
I think this is the casus Knaxus. We are not only in terms of our information handling, back on the evolutionary stage of hunters and gatherers arrived (see 1st post), we have also forgotten how to talk to each other, to really communicate. The interpersonal relationships are today largely virtualized: E-mail, podcasts, blogs (ok - I admit, these technologies also have good sides), SMS, etc.
this, a little anecdote. For a long time I wonder what you really need SMS. Usually a call is much cheaper and the result clearer. "Honey, I'm about 19:00 clock. Oh, the visit is already there Yes, I'm hurrying." Short, concise, all know that. Nevertheless, I see in my private and professional environment, especially women (see picture - there was royalty-free images at Google - what was that information dumps nothing ???), rather do, than to send text messages. Well, they are almost as fast as I did with my call. Unbelievable that you can use his precious life, to learn how you within 1 minute on a telephone keypad 20 words or proposition ", oh I meant abbreviations writes. What the affinity of women relates to SMS I had a theory. Do you know this yet: write a little note and fill poetry albums. At least during my school years a "girl thing". This suggested to me that these activities are found in SMS a technologically supported continuation. Far from it. When I shared this theory with my colleagues, I checked that one particular reason SMS writes to immediately deal with the reaction of the recipient's information need. Just not his or her facial expression to see or respond to inquiries must - nightmare.
things ausdisktutieren, times really let the sparks fly, at the end a compromise to achieve consensus, or better yet, that's true, I believe communication. But where do you find more genuine communication? Today, usually lack the time to do or they will not change. Add to that the "fear" about to talk to each other to argue to justify his opinion ( fear of humans: Anthropophobie - whether you Wikipedia ) to Erlich also a reason for the anonymous information dumps in the Intranets of many companies. Quickly what written, no one reads anyway, and with it. "(S) hit and run" or in military circles as "fire and forget", and in general have such weapons or with cross-border certainly the target and destroy. In a figurative sense, the result also be impersonal communication.
status quo: "I write, therefore I am"
My vision: "I speak, so I work."
Now that Christmas is around the corner, I hope that you find time to talk or take time to talk. Catch the best in your family with it. Merry Christmas!
PS: Do you know the tale of sweet porridge? If not, are Look forward to the next post, because this tale is a reality.
