Clutter busting, and other myths
klumper 2nd Aug 2010
Today - and more importantly tomorrow - the sheer volume of data we create is an increasingly crucial barrier to our efficiency if not organized well.

And yet the more we seem to collect as a species, the dumber we seem to be becoming [see migrating toward a state of LCD for more].

Or does that only apply to Hollywood? wink

''Learning facts is something we?re pretty bad at. Learning stories is something we do well.''

Basically the story of the apes as they morphed into things resembling humans, and contemporarily, the USA as it morphed into a swaggering and puffed up superpower.

[Note: Substitute 'stories' with 'myths' -- see National Media, Federal Government, Hollywood, Multi-national Corporations and other BS making machinery for more]

Morten Hansen articulated very well in his book ?Collaboration? how easy it is to overcook business collaborative initiatives by underestimating costs, misdiagnosing problems and struggling with hostile cultures.

You mean like Microsoft? Although struggling with hostile cultures is more a Google thing me thinks. love
