The Medical Journal Meets the Internet Medical journal publishing over the Internet affords major time and cost savings and conserves resources. The time savings allow more rapid incorporation of major advances into the practice of medicine. Electronic publishing also makes it feasible to publish negative studies which will enable more accurate appraisals of new drugs and new techniques. | First Monday By Charles Curran [ Site ] Diffusion of knowledge requires rapid publication of insight.  This article does a good job of making the case for electonic journal publishing.

Speaking of content management, I belong to a content management list serve that provides an excellent source of information on trends and tools in the business.  The cms-list began in July 2000, at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention held in Monterey, CA.  At the Birds-Of-a-Feather session on Perl and Content Management, talk wandered away from developing a CMS in Perl and on to more general content management issues.   The list was started then and today has over two thousand members.   6:01:20 PM   comment []>   IBM details Application Enablement Program.

The world's largest Internet service provider is turning to one of its few remaining veterans to help it execute a tough turnaround. [CNET News.com] Given this announcement and the turmoil at AOL, I think that I will try to network into AOL.   I have lots of experience in business content.   Much less in consumer content.   Remember that this is a job search blog, so I get to make notes to myself.   I will report on whether my investigations yield any results. 4:27:47 PM   comment []>   My Resume I posted my resume to my web site. 11:47:43 AM   comment []>   My entire career has been spent in professional services firms; I have only worked for management consulting firms.    Here is the list of firms that I have worked with: The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Bain & Company Symmetrix, Inc. Ernst & Young, LLP Cap Gemini Ernst & Young (CGEY)     11:14:01 AM   comment []>   Learnativity eLearning and Training Since my work has involved learning and corporate training, a recent contact suggested I look at I look at Learnativity.com.   The site describes it's objective as:   "...the notion that individual and organizational effectiveness depend not only on learning better, faster, cheaper but through the consistent application of learning, combined with creativity, flexibility, and paying close attention to the right things. This site introduces you to resources that support that learnativity revolution.   Learnativity is an organization Marcia Conner and Wayne Hodgins created to convey these concepts beyond Learnativity.com and to help foster an alliance for the new learning economy." 11:00:34 AM   comment []>   Introduction   This weblog is intended to be a record of my job search.   Since I am a knowledge management professional, weblogging is a skill that I need to have and I want this site to be a shared resource for people to participate in my search.    I started my job search several weeks ago when I was  RIFed by Cap Gemini Ernst & Young.  Cap Gemini Ernst & Young (CGEY) is an 8 billion Euro French consultancy, headquartered in  Paris with 56,000 employees worldwide.  It is the only large IT Consultancy headquartered in Europe.   At CGEY I was the Chief Knowledge Officer and the head of the Global KM Council that provided governance for the practice of knowledge management in the Group.  Prior to CGEY I worked as a Director in the Ernst & Young Center for Business Knowledge.   E&Y's knoweldge management practices are quite well documented.   An article written in a Harvare Business Review article documents the approach used: Hansen, Morten T., N. Nohria, and Thomas Tierney. "What's Your Strategy for Managing Knowledge?" Harvard Business Review 77, no. 2 (March-April 1999): 106-116.    Morten Hansen, one of the authors, is an extremely thoughtful professor at the Harvard Business School,  writes frequently about Knowledge Management. 10:07:51 AM   comment []>
