It's a risk. That, and it takes time. I admit I've had little time lately to go too deeply into anything too unknown.<BR/><BR/>Gary...thanks for another new term!

Stolen knowledge is something you learn that you were not supposed to learn - something not in the curriculum - like adolescent boys learning about female anatomy from observing their teacher in grade 7 or about honesty from someone who speaks the truth even when they are not supposed to... <BR/><BR/>GaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28999673.post-85905078224024855212008-03-12T12:10:00.000-05:002008-03-12T12:10:00.000-05:00I heard the essay too, and found it inspiring, tho...I heard the essay too, and found it inspiring, though the temperment it takes to confront the unfamiliar and learn from it daily is pretty rare.<BR/><BR/>What I've learned? Once and done is no more.<BR/><BR/>Working with a buddy the other day on making his ecommerce website more accessible as first step to more profitable, we started drafting a new organization scheme and a new section for help and advice. The new scheme is designed to "teach" customers how to think about the systems that make up the cars they're modifying (it's a performance parts co.). And we're committed to continually refining the scheme as we learn more about the customer base. What I learned? Structure is a way of communicating a mental model. The commitment to change is a commitment to collaborate with users.John David Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14360097950645332644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28999673.post-87578469048606850762008-03-12T05:36:00.000-05:002008-03-12T05:36:00.000-05:00What a great quote--and so true!
