Melisse was one of the larger than life figures in Knowledge Management. Author of KM for Dummies, early practitioner and all round one of the best networked people in the movement. I remember the first time I met her over dinner in London during the period of the knowledge wars in IBM, and the support […]

I had in parallel been thinking about leadership, partly for the book, partly for the article that Mary Boone and I have been writing for HBR. On that subject, the saga of […]

I see that Dilbert has picked up on Six Sigma. Or, to use my deliberate slip of the toungue (to which I confessed in a response to a recent comment): Six Stigma. Now from my perspective Six Stigma is very different from BPR other than that its execution seems more determined. As a result of […]
