About

What I do:

  • I actually help companies implement and execute the adoption, introduction and institutionalization of collaborative technologies. In doing this work, I innovate, create and stimulate, ... and when necessary agitate! I spend a lot of time making sure that things are integrated; systems, processes, information flows... It bugs me when technology is introduced that dis-integrates systems, processes, etc. I use a lot of the fundamental principles of "lean execution" to support my work.

My whitepapers and articles

Interesting people

  • Larry Cannell
    I met Larry when I was working as a consultant to the automotive firm he was with. We had the same vision for how business could leverage collaboration. Larry is a broad thinker and a good guy to exchange ideas with.
  • Michael Sampson
    Michael is an industry analyst focused on the shared spaces market -- team workspaces, portal-based interfaces, presence & availability, wireless collaboration, and real-time interaction. I like him because he doesn't just follow the crowd.

What is knowledge?

Yes, this is an often asked question and replies are different depending on who you are talking to. The question begs more definition as people continue to struggle with how to treat knowledge as a corporate asset.

Well here are a couple of views:

Knowledge = information + experience + wisdom ... or

Knowledge = content + context ... or

more simply put

Knowledge = stuff + everything we know about that stuff.
