About Business Knowledge Messaging
The problem we face today is inelastic engagement. If you're drowning in a daily deluge of emails and virtual meetings, you know exactly what I mean. That's why we need to rethink formal business knowledge messaging.
Look at it this way. Informal dialog and communication clues (e.g., body language and groans) are largely inelastic, but knowledge is growing exponentially. It doesn't take a genius to see that's a problem.
This new book takes business knowledge, along with data, semantics and rules, in an exciting new direction. You may love it, or you may hate it. But you definitely should read it!
