Thank you. Your point is key - it is a mini version of the whole system (a small portable heater). This is far better than the mistake you often see, which is to implement one component of the whole system - often an IT component - which will not work on its own. That would be the equivalent of laying the pipes and radiators, but having no boiler and no pump.Nick Miltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413967879826601863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7585040184982733654.post-49736549982789518732009-05-19T00:48:00.000+01:002009-05-19T00:48:00.000+01:00Excellent analogy.

In Kuwait, it might be more appropriate to talk about a cooling system :)<br /><br />I think that in certain situations, you cannot afford to install a “central” heating/cooling system for the whole home. In a KM-immature organization, the KM professional might be faced with a situation where the organization is not ready to “buy-in” and install (support) an integrated system. We have a saying in the Middle East: “If you cannot take it all, do not leave it all”! So the KM professional might be forced to settle for buying a small portable heater, and use it to heat one of the rooms, until he/she can convince the top management that such an integrated KM system really exist, and that it has been working well (in heating-up) other organizations :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04380825196549824583noreply@blogger.com
