There is no vanilla solution and what works well for one firm may be a disastrous failure at another. It's the duty of an organisation to select technologies and information management systems that fulfill the needs of the organisation at that time. I am also quite fond of the idea of couterfactually thinking. What better way is there to come up with a novel solution to problems than to break it down to it's core elements and look at it through new eyes and from different perspectives? I find this blog intriguing and highly relevant in this age where technology has enabled us as individuals in organisations to interact with each other and learn from one another without actually having to meet face-to-face in order to exchange information. But more importantly, you point out that technology is not the end-all in the information loop. More a catalyst to create those social situations to create new learning and social interactions. I look forward with great interest to future posts!
