On one level, we understand we are operating in an increasingly dynamic business environment.  Indeed, we seem comfortable with continually adding-to, changing, removing, ‘tweaking’ three of those four organisational dimensions; information, process and technology elements to meet those constantly changing business needs; but get stuck on organisation structure.  That always seems to require the classic ‘restructure’ with all the heartache and disruption that comes with it.  Why is that?  Why can’t the way we organise our people to be as agile and adaptive as those other three elements?  (1,429 words) - [Who still believes they don’t need adaptive-strategies?](/content/new-blog/2016/11/10/who-still-believes-they-dont-need-adaptive-strategies.html): A blog by Martin Erasmuson.

Everything is a work-in-progress; things being born/created/built, and other things dying/being dismantled/demolished.  Certainly some milestones, like those commemorated by plaques in building foyers, ‘Opened by His Worship Mayor no-one-remembers’ and at the time no doubt accompanied by ribbons, a photographer and a brass-band; but ultimately the building is demolished, the plaque goes to the museum and it all becomes just another historical footnote.  (778 words) - [Your data audit ends up here — StratSim Ltd](/content/new-blog/2019/7/4/your-data-audit-end-up-here/index.html): “We’re going to do,” said the manager “an organisation-wide data audit.” “If you like, yes,” said the Information Architect. “Will that help?” asked the manager. “No,” said the Information Architect, and gave him a friendly smile.” ― Martin Erasmuson, Information Architect (adapted from ― Dougl, “We’re going to do,” said the manager “an organisation-wide data audit.” “If you like, yes,” said the Information Architect. “Will that help?” asked the manager. “No,” said the Information Architect, and gave him a friendly smile.” ― Martin Erasmuson, Information Architect (adapted from ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) (505 words) - [Paying-off my information debt](/content/new-blog/2017/2/9/paying-off-my-information-debt/index.html): A blog by Martin Erasmuson There is a natural tension between expediency and thought-out decision making.  In that sense information-debt is not necessarily bad.  I’ve blogged before about adaptive-strategies and a ‘Good Enough is Perfect’ approach.  On a personal level, , A blog by Martin Erasmuson There is a natural tension between expediency and thought-out decision making.  In that sense information-debt is not necessarily bad.  I’ve blogged before about adaptive-strategies and a ‘Good Enough is Perfect’ approach.  On a personal level, I’ve used the company credit-card tactically for ease of accounting or while waiting for company invoices to be paid.  So, debt is not bad per se.  Sometimes a heuristic method is appropriate and necessary, acknowledging that a particular solution is not guaranteed to be optimal or perfect, but is sufficient to move a project forward, while acknowledging there is likely to be a ‘debt’ once the optimal solution is discovered and re-work is necessary.

What is a Knowledge Management System?  Or more precisely, what is a Knowledge Management System today?  Many folk in the KM game can likely recall being part of ancient (20th Century) KM initiatives that might have included: an electronic document & records management system (EDRMS), Knowledge-Base, content management system (CMS) and possibly hard copy records management (RM) to name a few.  Notably, back in the day, these were invariably on-premise systems and likely not integrated.  Even pre-2000, establishing the ROI of such systems was difficult but at least the on-premise costs and over-heads were relatively straightforward. So back to the question: ‘What constitutes a Knowledge Management System today’?  And assuming it is possible to answer that question, ‘How would you go about establishing the ROI of such a system’?

The ‘Gone-Viral’ nature of Social Media is now typical of the general business environment.  Rather than relying solely on corporate KM systems, organisations must create a culturefor discovery of the information they need, when they need it.  That needs to work in concert with deep agile capability to VERY quickly pivot resources to respond to (name today’s crisis here) along with a heuristic, ‘good-enough-is-perfect’ attitude.   (492 words) - [A Merry Data Christmas](/content/new-blog/2018/12/20/a-merry-data-christmas/index.html): A Christmas Data Poem by Martin Erasmuson Twas the night before Christmas, and through all the laughter Things were a stirring, especially the data.
