Insight Curation: Are We Accelerating or Protecting Productivity?

By now content curation is a well-known activity that is credited for saving time in the search, retrieval and distribution of bulk knowledge/information. The quality of those well-intended distributions, often via email attachments, or postings to knowledge bases, or communities of practice forums, or corporate shared drives, or SharePoint…or…or…or…are somewhat scattered. The aggregate of “time saved” rapidly dilutes as a function of what happens after the distributions are sent/posted and received by knowledge workers. That’s Point-of-Work, and that’s where we can accelerate and protect productivity.

POINT-of-WORK ASSESSMENT:  Systems & Technology

My advice…step away from bright, shiny Productivity Acceleration Technology until you’ve established a benchmark of current state technology, where it’s headed, what new technology is planned, when it’s going to happen, and who’s going to be responsible to utilize it successfully. This may be over simplified, but these elements of knowledge will inform a decision regarding Productivity Acceleration Technology that will be as brilliantly planned and executed 18-months down the road as it was 30-days after GoLive.
