Internal blogging

It’s all very exciting. As of yesterday, all of my staff (including me) each have an internal weblog. These will be used to post small, ongoing reports of what we are up to, which clients we are working on, and what new deliverables we have created. By installing news aggregator software on each desktop, we can trivially keep up with each others blog entries, as well as external blogs. (I’ve been using this type of software for quite some time now, and I can’t live without it.) The establishment of internal weblogs has been done in response to the huge increase in the number of different clients and projects we are working on, and is one of the ongoing experimental activities as part of our inwards-focused knowledge management efforts. It’s not meant to replace face-to-face discussions, but rather act as a way of exposing the interesting things that are happening, so we can follow up on them with further discussions. [Column Two]
