Week 12 Blog Post

What would help you think "from an insider's perspective" (i.e. with a manager's hat on) when looking at issues related to IS strategy in different organisations.  This is an ongoing challenge for teachers, so I'd like to hear your views. Can you think of any simple, or creative/original ways of helping you and your colleagues to take an "inside view" of organisational strategy?  You might like to focus on outlining the challenges, from your perspective, and how these might be addressed. 

Thanks for all your contributions on the blogs and in the tutorials. I really enjoyed having all of you in my tutorials and I wish you all the best in your future studies and future careers!

Week 11: Knowledge Sharing

This week's case (p.179 of course notes) is the last one for the weekly blog and mini-analysis assignment. The case outlines how HP Analytics, an internal consulting division of HP, built a knowledge sharing culture over a four year period.  Think of another organisation in which knowledge sharing would be beneficial. If you were the CEO of this organisation, what would your first steps be in developing knowledge sharing? What would be your key challenge(s) and what would you do the same/differently from the HP case?
