Reports from Martin White are always readable and informative. This July report deals with the complexities and risks to effective searching for people and experts in organisations. The discussion on barriers is fascinating and exposes many of the issues in encouraging people to share knowledge . The report also deals on the difficulties of finding specific experts and even a specific individual which one thinks might be simple. Do read this comprehensive analysis of all the factors to consider when organisations plan expertise data bases or assume that the HR system can do it all.
