There is also something about the precision of a map, that makes you think it is authoritative (and indeed, it was validated by leading me to the inspection chamber, but let me down immediately after). That's another lesson - just because its a large sheet of paper with authoritative-looking markings on it, doesn't mean it's correct. The question I should have asked was "is this the design map, or the as-built map".

Perhaps some further inquiries may have been in order before getting the digger in?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7585040184982733654.post-62236714441227027852013-03-14T11:28:13.945+00:002013-03-14T11:28:13.945+00:00This is one of the reasons why when I work with or...This is one of the reasons why when I work with organizations on their explicit/documented knowledge I encourage them to initiate a lifecycle process to go with it. The process covers everything from how the knowledge is captured in the first place to how it is maintained and retrieved, to what is done with it at end of life. A lot of organizations miss this step and 3-5 years into their KM program "can't find anything" and blame the technology, but it's not the technology, it's the missing lifecycle process that's the problem.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843236319907355897noreply@blogger.com
