After a long reflection I realized that the tools I use were the cause of a high level improductivity. And that the others gives me incredible services.
Try to pay attention to this in the upcomming days. Try to take some distance on your own experience, listen to your colleagues, you friends, and I’m sure you’ll [...]

What’s the value of knowledge and experience
September 4th, 2008 · View Comments · Information / knowledge management, knowledge-economy
It’s a very “hot” question at this time. The blessed days when people could be assessed on hom many pieces they produced a day is over. Now the “knowledge capital” is key, and what has to be assessed is not a controlled production but the ability to face uncertainty and offer solutions.

Do enterprises really outsource the right things ?
August 28th, 2008 · View Comments · Human resources, Information / knowledge management, Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, knowledge-economy

Why making people discuss about informal business issues is valuable
September 11th, 2007 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management
People have to exchange and discuss within the enterprise. Yes…but why? They just have to stick on basic relationships, they’re here for business and nothing more…
