Welcome to the Tacit Knowledge Reading Blog.
A couple of months ago several of us at Tacit Knowledge thought it would be fun to be reading the same book so we could share our ideas and what we are learning. So in April ‘08 we decided to read The Cluetrain Manifesto and to invite others within Tacit Knowledge to read it and share their thoughts. This was the perfect book to get started with because:
- It was one of the books that the founders of Tacit Knowledge read when the started the company in 2002 so it help formulate what they wanted Tacit Knowledge to become;
- The book promotes conversation, discovering your voice and keeping the voice of the organization a human voice. This helped establish a great launching point for this blog.
So, we are going to try out ‘reading seasons’ where we individually select books to read over the next three months and share what we are reading in this blog. There are no boundaries on what is read and blogged on. For example, suggested titles for this season have incuded Leadership and the New Science by Margaret Wheatley and The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. We even encourage people to blog on more than what they are reading. It’s about learning, sharing and conversations.
We do expect to find emergent themes as we learn and share online that we hope will facilitate interesting conversation at the end of each reading season.
Thanks for your participation!
