Knowledge Base Research Resource

We would like this page to become a useful Knowledge Worker (KreW™) resource, for our network and beyond. Please e-mail us your comments and contributions.

Whether in preparation for a DesignShop® or a ZoomTrax™ event, or simply part of the continual scan process, the creation of a rich knowledge base is an important element of our work. The table below contains an evolving list of resources that I have found useful in developing knowledge base resources for previous clients. In searching for Knowledge Objects for the event Knowledge Wall® Display, keep in mind that event context is important. The better you grok this context, from multiple vantage points, the more effective your scanning will be.
