A Thought Experiment

Ed Kless - 07/25/2008

A participant at a recent session of mine turned me on to TED, a Web site about ideas. It is great stuff.

One of the presentations was on Photosynth, a Microsoft Labs program which creates hyperlinks between photos thereby creating a 3D image. This got me to thinking, what if we could do this with tacit knowledge.

Take a look the video below and pay careful attention to the last few minutes. Now imagine instead of photos the links were the tacit knowledge of the people in your firm!
