Bob Boiko on Tuesday

I didn't get to take live notes in many sessions, but I did listen hard to Bob Boiko and I've posted the full notes on my blog.  Here's the key snippet for me:

"Create a strategy for information - how do you know what it should be?  Well whatever it is you need to do it, you need to have one.  If Knowledge is Power then why don't we have a strategic approach to information - how are we going to use it.  MOst people would tacitly agree, but they would have no idea how - maybe they could look to you.  Basic point is If we deliver the right information to the right people in the right way it will help us meet our goals.  There are no villains here, it's that they really don't know - it's not neglect it's lack of understanding - this is a whole new idea, a new discipline.  Either get a strategy, or quit saying Information is Power, because you're not behaving as if it were.  Bring this contradiction up, talk about it, work out whether and how information is valuable to your organisation."

Actually, I think, that those people, who have now almost all or all they needed in the past, were and are living using RULE - "Information is power", and their success is the result. And besides, even if your information is needed by somebody, it is not always necessary to be in the right place - they will find you in any case, depending on the importance of the information you possess.
