In this last post for the semester, I am going to try and relate the three articles as well as discuss what I (and maybe my classmates) learned. We may not have internalized it, but at least we saw it. I picked up several articles this weekend and put them aside; they just didn’t call…

If you were to go into my Outlook mail box(es), you would be lost with little hope of finding your way back. I don’t know what I use for organizational categories and I rarely plan it out. Generally, I use what comes to mind. The reasons for all this chaos is that I rarely think…

My daughter says that Richard Scarry was scary. My wife loves this song. I have proof now that she is not crazy and that this song is real. You never know what you will find in the library.

I picked up the Ackerman article and was immediately struck with a sense of Déjà vu. I am sure I have read this paper before. In fact, it’s in my references for EndNote citations. For the life of me, I cannot figure out where I read it previously or why. I looked in my usual…

Wow, what a couple of weeks! Who would have thought that a company would be in the middle of a scandal about using Facebook data without permission against us? Oh wait, that’s happened before… Well, at least Cambridge Analytica did something really new with it. It sort of feels like we are living in the…

When you study something, you start to see it everywhere. I’m a competitive intelligence manager at work. I help sales people sell better or product teams build a better product, depending on who you talk to. Sometimes I do both. Lately I’ve been selecting knowledge management articles about knowledge transfer, competitive advantage, and learning. As Alex…

Truthfully, I have no idea. I’m just using that title because my wife purchased an ‘Oscar-palooza’ package from the movie theater, so for the next week or so, we get to watch all the Oscar candidate movies. That will probably be something like 1.67 movies a day. Phew! Therefore, I need to get this post out…

Last week, the blog post was about adages, and how they represent lessons learned. This week, after reading about codification and economics, I’m looking at how people encode knowledge. This week’s articles (see Bibliography, below) have returned to the idea of somehow encoding knowledge; which, because we are all unique individuals, ultimately become unique knowledge…
