eyeforpharma Knowledge Sharing Strategies for the Pharma Lifecycle
conference that their knowledge management initiatives will only be
successful when those initiatives include a new set of tools and
techniques for unordered domains. “If you carry on using ordered

share. Collaboration is a great word. Enough syllables to sound important.

should lend itself so well to technology.

Put email at the heart of your knowledge management activities
We are awash in a sea of email but we don't
have the tools to manage or exploit this resource. On average, an employee
in a large organization sends 10,000 emails a year internally and
externally. People can spend up to two hours a day creating and replying
to email. Emails carry the information lifeblood of the organization and
yet we don't exploit this information. The information contained in an
email is important but equally important is what the emails tell us about
the complex network of email communications in the organization.
