The story
* Ask a literate which word is an intruder in this list: hatchet, saw, log... The clever answer is log, since hatchet and saw are tools, but log is not... Many companies for their recruiting tests use full of similar questions. It seems licite to use such questions to pickup clever people, does it...?
* Ask the same question to someone living in societies where the technologies of literacy (especially writing and print) are unfamiliar to most of the population... Their answer is "I don't know"... Then tell them why they should have dropped the log... They answer you: "but you are stupid, hatchet or saw without log is useless..."

Morale 1: Forget oral culture is synonym of stupidity or... poverty. Think about famous succesful guys such as Richard Branson, Virgin CEO, or John Chambers, Ciso Ceo, that had mild dislexia.

Morale 2: Clever people are not always the ones they seem to be...

Morale 3: The true story is about what orality is, and we should learn a lot more about, when the web2.0 is all around us.
* Orality is thought and verbal expression in societies where the technologies of literacy (especially writing and print) are unfamiliar to most of the population. The study of orality is closely allied to the study of oral tradition. ...
* McLuhan, in his work The Gutenberg Galaxy shows how each stage in the development of this technology throughout the history of communication – from the invention of speech (primary orality), to pictograms, to the phonetic alphabet, to typography, to the electronic communications of today – restructures human consciousness, profoundly changing not only the frontiers of human possibility, but even the frontiers it is possible for humans to imagine. ...
* After the ancient Greeks invented writing they adopted a scribal culture that lasted for generations. Few people, other than the scribes, considered it necessary to learn to read or write. ...
* Writing, Socrates argues, is inhuman. It attempts to turn living thoughts dwelling in the human mind into mere objects in the physical world. By causing people to rely on what is written rather than what they are able to think, it weakens the powers of the mind and of memory. True knowledge can only emerge from a relationship between active human minds. And unlike a person, a text can’t respond to a question; it will just keep saying the same thing over and over again ...
* Furthermore, as McLuhan emphasizes, modernization attentuates some oral capabilities. For example, in medieval Europe silent reading was virtually unknown. ...
* Mass internet collaborations like Wikipedia rely primarily on writing, but re-introduce relationships and responsiveness into the text. ...
* Oral culture is... additive rather than subordinative... aggregative rather than analytic... redundant or ‘copious’... passed from one generation to the next as it always had been: through apprenticeship, observation and practice. By contrast, only literary cultures have launched phenomenological analyses, abstract classifications, ordered lists and tables, etc.. Nothing analogous exists in oral societies. ... empathetic and participatory... more at >>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orality

Is it not what web2.0 and especially wikis are all about?
Are wikis going to combine
:- the community richness oral culture had before the invention of printing
:- with the power of instant and everywhere internet diffusion
What do you think about?

L'art du manager

Meaning of management: Every business organization needs an unifying central guiding, directing and controlling agency which functions as a mind of the organization. As the mind in a human body guides, directs and controls the organs of the human body, similarly the management energizes the organization for efficient and profitable functioning. According to Peter F Drucker “Neither results nor resources exist inside the business, both exist outside,” it is outside that needs planning, organization and direction for results. ... more at >>> http://vsv89.wordpress.com/2009/09/10/knowledge-bank/

Le Management est un art, au sens où il faut une solide technique plus des talents pour "diriger" les autres. L'on peut se perfectionner et acquérir un bon niveau pour encore et toujours ... communiquer en respectant un principe et une règle...
* Un principe : communiquer c'est "partir de l'autre et revenir à l'autre"
* Une règle : communiquer c'est "de l'émotion, du rationnel, de l'émotion". Une sorte de sandwich applicable quelle que soit la séquence.

Les modules suivants "Art de ..." illustrent quasiment toutes les situations de communication interpersonnelle. Ils sont le produit de la pratique et d'un long enseignement qui en a permis une réduction à l'essentiel.

Samuel Barclay Beckett (13 April 1906 – 22 December 1989) was an Irish writer, dramatist and poet. Beckett's work offers a bleak outlook on human culture and both formally and philosophically became increasingly minimalist.
... He is also considered one of the key writers in what Martin Esslin called "Theatre of the Absurd." As such, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers of the 20th century.
... After World War II, Beckett turned definitively to the French language as a vehicle.
... He, more than anyone else, opened up the possibility of drama and fiction that dispense with conventional plot and the unities of place and time in order to focus on essential components of the human condition.
... towards compactness that has led to his work sometimes being described as minimalist.

Jfayel personal point of view...
Samuel Beckett is maybe with Pessoa and Borges one of the 3 top writers of the XX century.
All of them wrote in multiple languages, which is yet difficult as normal people but seems almost impossible to reach as true writers. Wellknown as an "absurd" advocate, the most interesting for me is Beckett's work on the language itself. It is a way to point up that language is not build from exact words, but from constellations of grouped words which meaning lies in the constellation itself not in each separated words. So linking Samuel Beckett with Boby Lapointe seems obvious... >>> more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boby_Lapointe

DokuWiki is wiki software... DokuWiki is licensed under GPL 2 and written in the programming language PHP. It works on plain text files and thus needs no database. Its syntax is similar to the one used by MediaWiki and makes sure the data files remain readable outside the wiki.

A folksonomy is a system of classification derived from the practice and method of collaboratively creating and managing tags to annotate and categorize content; this practice is also known as collaborative tagging, social classification, social indexing, and social tagging. Folksonomy is a portmanteau of folk and taxonomy.

Folksonomies became popular on the Web around 2004 as part of social software applications such as social bookmarking and photograph annotation. Tagging, which is characteristic of Web 2.0 services, allows users to collectively classify and find information. Some websites include tag clouds as a way to visualize tags in a folksonomy.

Attempts have been made to characterize folksonomy in social tagging system as emergent externalization of knowledge structures contributed by multiple users. Models of collaborative tagging have been developed to characterize how knowledge structures could arise and be useful to other users, even when there is a lack of top-down mediation (which is believed to be an important feature because they do not need laborious explicit representations as in semantic web). In particular, cognitive models of collaborative tagging can highlight how differences in internal knowledge structures of multiple users can lead to different emergent properties in the folksonomy of a social tagging system. ... more at >>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folksonomy

* Opposed to ... Taxonomy? Controlled vocabulary?

Thomas Vander Wal is best known for coining the term "folksonomy".
He is also known for initiating the term "infocloud".

Jfayel point of view...
2.0 revolution hits also hard the old model of knowhow. Such concepts for example as copyleft, collective intelligence, folksonomy as opposed to taxonomy,... are already on the way to make emerge knowhow2.0...
Classic Knowledge management is of course also hit hard by the 2.0 revolution...

Not only cats can be clueless... different cultures...
Knowhow lost because of... workers retiring, fired employees, resignations, accidents, sudden deaths, ..., merges, cessions, ...

PERSONAL STORY
* Babson college could be a good way to test your capacities about entrepreneurship, but nothing can bypass learning by true doing... Entrepreneurship has of course little to do with academics... Babson could be also today the best place not to loose one's time and money in a graduate program... XXI century will be for entrepreneurs only... I have recommended Babson college to some young people. To get some feedback from a personal contact with a recent alumni I trust, just ask me >>> JF Ayel at http://xmpe.diwiki.net/index.php/User:Jfayel

HISTORY
* Babson College was founded by Roger Babson on September 3, 1919, as the Babson Institute. It was renamed "Babson College" in 1969. Believing experience to be the best teacher, Roger Babson favored a curriculum that was a combination of both class work and business training: businessmen made up the majority of the faculty instead of academics, and the institute's curriculum focused more on practical experience and less on lectures. Students worked on group projects and class presentations, observed manufacturing processes during field trips to area factories and businesses, met with managers and executives, and viewed industrial films on Saturday mornings.
