Knowledge Management and the Simple Stick



http://ow.ly/buFy9

An article by Patrick DiDomenico posted on the km.iltanet.org website.

This article discusses the need for simplicity in order to have an efficient Knowledge Management policy.  The article references a book by  Ken Segall, who worked with Steve Jobs on several Apple ad campaigns, called Insanely Simple: The Obsession That Drives Apple’s Success.  A link to information about the book is provided.

Mr. DiDomenico writes, "Insanely Simple digs into the world of simplicity at Apple under Steve Jobs. It also introduces the concept of the Simple Stick."

The article further states, "Simplicity in KM is important for many reasons, not the least of which is time(or the lack thereof). Busy lawyers have precious little time, and the time they have is best spent on revenue-generating work. Wasting their time with superfluity affects the bottom line. One of the cornerstones of KM is to increase efficiency. Complex design, cluttered ideas, and extra stuff gets in the way and slows us down."
