    Re: Keeping KM visible
    Good question, Brittany We (at Team Animation) use a process of Human-Centric Data with the organizations with which we work across the major projects sector. This involves capturing small amounts of …

    Re: Keeping KM visible
    Let me broaden this a bit.   Brittany, your point that we shouldn’t wait for a fire to find out that fire extinguishers matter.   He’s the question for all of us… how many of us have a fire extinguish …

    Very nicely put Dennis – agree with every word. And when you’re an external consultant, you have to be content with being a proud grandparent! The flexible, boundary-spanning nature of KM adds to the …

    Re: Keeping KM visible
    I agree with Ana.  KM can be hard to see because it tends to have what I would call "second-order effects."  The organization rewards the people who put out the fire, not the ones who design …

    Re: Keeping KM visible
    That is actually a very good reflection, Brittany. Good KM is almost invisible.I like to collect stories, anecdotes of when things go wrong and when things go well. Whenever possible, and as part of u …
