[Disclosure: I am the Knowledge Manager at ECG Management Consultants.]
My take:
It’s interesting to see concepts so prevalent in Knowledge Management and Information Management so frequently noted. It’s also interesting to see the growing notion of IT - not as IT Projects - but rather as Business Projects or Processes that use IT as part of, or in support of the business engagements.
That rocks! I agree with that so much and have been trying to find ways to say that (Tell me and I’ll forget.) and show that (Show me and I’ll remember.) with almost all of my work for about the past 10 years. I’m energized to find some more influential people to read about and learn from. It’s looking more and more like I am clearly at the participation stage (Involve me and I’ll understand).
Really being involved myself and involving others is so key to successful growth. That’s probably part of the cause for most of my recent heightened awareness to the impact of all the work I’m doing now. There is a lot of involvement on many levels. Exciting!
