Over het gebruik van een noreply adres

Mijn vroegere werkgever gebruikte ook no-reply e-mail adressen in (sommige) externe communicaties. Ik ben hier altijd tegen geweest, omdat dit voor mij het signaal gaf naar de bestemmeling van “je moet wel lezen wat ik je schrijf, maar laat me verder maar gerust” Ik heb het niet gehaald: ze bleven no-reply e-mail adressen gebruiken 🙁 […]

About pending tasks and new initiatives

   Another Seth Godin post:   Decisions as effort Why are we more likely to get tasks done than to take on new initiatives? Checking something off a to-do list requires far less emotional energy than adding something to the list was in the first place. As is often the case, “resistance” is the answer. […]

About unlocking tacit knowledge

Below, a very interesting post about how one could unlock tacit knowledge (= the knowledge that is ‘locked’ within people (their experiences, skills, insights and judgements … locked in their brains). AKA: you don’t know what you know 🙂   Read the full post here
