    Quotes & Notes

    Political activities are rarely talked about openly in an organization, but they frequently absorb significant amounts of senior management time. While the political activities that accompany decisions about resource allocation may not be discussed at management committee meetings, they are often the major topic of conversations at lunch, cocktails, and one-on-one meetings. These discussions frequently center on who is going to be promoted to an open position, what group is in power, who is going to influence strategic decisions, how budgets are going to be allocated across businesses or divisions, which functional areas have the inside track with the CEO, and who will benefit from the latest formula to distribute salary and bonus pools. The problem is that in most organizations it is culturally unacceptable to say that a given decision is political. Yet political processes are an inevitable part of the allocation of scarce resources.

    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!
