I think the combination of systems thinking and root cause analysis really helps solve the complicated problems that we face in our organizations. Knowing that the simplest solution rarely solves these problems forces us to dive deeper. I also like the business model presented early on in our material, demonstrating that each value proposition…[Read more]

You know, those homemade cookies you love are not made of magic. Knowledge management is part of why you can enjoy those cookies. First, I need to know where to find the best recipe and not only what each ingredient is but where to find it. Then, I need to know how to use the tools involved like the mixer and the oven.

I like the comparison of 3D printing for manufacturing to the advent of the internet — This is, as many have said, just the first step and we don’t know where it will lead. That being said, I do think that both the industry and consumer matter in describing the future of 3D printing. It’s a phenomenal tool for small-batch, custom designs but for…[Read more]

I think there will always be room for professional expertise in this area (as well as nearly all fields), but I feel that with the plethora of information available to the average American, we are enabled to DIY for so much! It would depend on my goals whether or not I would seek out a publisher. If this were a career path, I would seek on out. If…[Read more]

As some of my colleagues have mentioned, I don’t use many apps, particularly ‘fun’ ones because my life can be chaotic between a demanding job, too many classes and other obligations. For Christmas, I got a Surface tablet which has been a lifesaver for my coursework & reading materials. I use a few different ‘post it note’ tools to help manage the…[Read more]
