    Quotes & Notes

    Somehow we have restricted the connotation of science to a very selective, limited assemblage of natural phenomena. We refer to science when we deal with physics, chemistry or biology. We should also realize that there are many more phenomena of nature that do not fall into these categories, for instance those phenomena we see in organizations, particularly those in industrial organizations. If these phenomena are not phenomena of nature, what are they? Do we want to place what we see in organizations to the arena of fiction rather than into reality?

    The WikiBlog Consulting WIKI

    Are you a fan of Wikipedia but have always wished that you could have been one of the early adapters? Well, now is your chance! WikiBlog Consulting is starting its own wiki project with the goal to create new knowledge for the global, professional community.

    Why join the project?

    ...For too long consulting and professional firms have kept their knowledge as a closely guarded, proprietary secret where the only way to get at it, is to pay for it. The WikiBlog Consulting WIKI is FREE! (free as in freedom...and as in free beer!)

    ...The Web 2.0 and and open-standards revolution has proven that transparency and global collaboration is truly an unstoppable, self-synchronizing, self-organizing force that closed, industrial-era mindsets and business practices cannot compete with.

    ...Because professionals have been and continue to be conditioned to create in closed environments, free, open-source professional knowledge and information is hard to find. The free, open-source WikiBlog Consulting WIKI aims to fill this void...but we need your help!

    Please go to http://wikiblogconsulting.com/wiki and join our project to create new knowledge for the global, professional community!
