Gavin on Knowledge Mgmt:• Have a clear idea of the things you want to keep. Throw out the rest.

• Know where to keep things: have an organized, centralized place that everybody knows and everybody uses.

• Have an EASY way to find it again, quickly and easily, without the need for some specialized knowledge or secret decoder ring.

After that, it’s all about the tools, and your tools must: • A) be simple in design• B) be some-what self-organizing• C) meet your security needs• D) be easy to feed• F) easy to search.

What resources do YOU want to hear about?
