Blogging

Carla and Lilia have asked me to reflect on blogging as apart of our R&D program, before I do that first an admission.

I intended to blog about the KM things we do, and I have done, to experiment to see if people could learn from me or even predict what I might do , just by being tuned into my blog. I'm afraid that idea ground to a halt due to all the IP rights and secrecy agreements I'm party too. I know I know, but I know the battles I can win with no bruising, and the battles I can win but become heavily bruised in the process. This fits in the latter and the bruising and the reputation might have put a stop to other interesting work I'm doing within KM in Shell and Basell, so I struggled and stopped. You see only putting part details down of our tricks and tips is just not good enough. One down side is. in my quest to get the company focused on blogging, they look at my blog and say what good is that, all kids, furniture making and music - and they are right. Blogging work related stuff is a step too far at the moment, but lets see what the future brings.

To sum it up I feel rather like Rogier  Brusse who stated that "Blogging is like standing in your underpants". Rogier is a wise man and I like him a lot, and fully concur with his feelings with respect to work related issues.

But I will blog further on my feelings on blogging as they are very positive
