Measurement Matters

摘要

I've written about the impending retirements we're facing in our industry. It's not just in our industry, it's a demographic phenomenon. It's been acknowledged, studied, written about, re-acknowledged and affirmed. It's real and we know it. OK, so the recent crash may have pushed some retirements back, but that will only delay the inevitable. We know we'd better do something about it. So what do we do?rnLast year, I wrote about the need for an industry knowledge base. I mentioned the use of Content Management Systems like Tikiwiki, Joomla! and Drupal as tools vital to capturing and preserving the knowledge leaving the industry. I'm talking about the knowledge that is learned through experience, not books.
