Your perception is very good. There is
one other element to consider. There is an old say which fits your
theme: “If Siemens only knew what Siemens knows.” There was a
study of Siemens which tracked threads of knowledge for which Siemens
paid dearly. The study documented that at different times,
different sub-parts of the company would have the same issues, create
a team to study and solve the issue and put the solution in to effect
– several times over.
Yesterday evening we had a good conference call with some people about online hosting; more specifically: the hosting of this site. This particular group of people came out of a recent Art of Hosting training.
This is what Helen said in this call:
"I have been a member of AoH for 18 months: it has so much knowledge
that they don't know they have. ENexus is the only way that the
community can see what it knows, and be able to consult it. We need to
catalogue the knowledge that is out there and encourage people to bring
it to the unloading bay."
