Adventures in Abu Dhabi: Ferrari World

Adventures in Abu Dhabi: Ferrari World

by Jeff Hester · Apr 2, 2011

Where else but in the UAE would you find the largest indoor amusement park — devoted to Ferrari — and the world’s fastest roller coaster? Nowhere else. Saturday was my adjustment day in Abu Dhabi, having travelled eleven time zones from LA, arriving late Friday night. My colleague Tom and I ventured out to visit […]

What is the WordPress KM Project?

What is the WordPress KM Project?

by Jeff Hester · Mar 14, 2011

Knowledge Management is a term laden with baggage. For some people, KM synonymous with expensive IT systems and tools. For others it conjures memories of failed initiatives from a time past. But for most people, KM is a concept that they really don’t get. Not that they need to “get it.” The term itself was […]

Seth Godin Pokes the Box

Social Media and Knowledge Management

Social Media and Knowledge Management

by Jeff Hester · Feb 22, 2011

There is a sense that as people embrace and use social media tools like Twitter, Yammer, LinkedIn and Quora, the enterprise loses control over their knowledge. While this is certainly true, it’s also nothing new. There have always been and […]

Knowledge Management is Not a Software Solution

Knowledge Management is Not a Software Solution

by Jeff Hester · Feb 16, 2011

At Fluor, one of our favorite sayings about knowledge management is that “KM is not about the tool!” We aren’t Luddites by any means. Ineffective tools can inhibit the success of KM, just as woodworker would struggle with a dull blade. Conversing with our colleagues at other companies, participating in best practice studies with APQC, […]

Things Real People Don’t Say About Advertising

Things Real People Don’t Say About Advertising

by Jeff Hester · Feb 12, 2011

Things Real People Don’t Say About Advertising is a Tumblr-powered collection of cheesy stock photos poking fun at the world of advertising… and advertisers too-often disconnection with reality. It’s a breezy, easy site to scan, in much the same way as the Lolcats at I Can Has Cheezburger. While it’s sure to make you smile, […]

Dropcard takes business cards digital

by Jeff Hester · Sep 26, 2008

Earlier this month at the Office 2.0 conference, I ran out of business cards. Maybe it’s happened to you. You fumble around in your pocket and come up empty-handed. Somehow I was caught off guard. I put in a new order online (our company has at least automated all of that), but still hadn’t received […]
