Does your organization have these characteristics?

 

  1. Insist on doing everything through "channels". Never permit shortcuts that would expedite decisions.

  2. When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study and consideration."

  3. Haggle over precise wordings of communications.

  4. Advocate "caution." Be "reasonable" and urge your fellow-conferees to be "reasonable" and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments.

  5. Question whether a decision lies within the jurisdiction of the group or whether it might conflict with the policy of some higher echelon.

Intellipedia

This session was very simple and effective as a case study to get an organization engaged in this technology to solve real world issues.

Bringing the technology inhouse and dealing with the attribution issues should be a useful next step for companies.
