presentation - showing the value of km

A presentation on demonstrating the ROI / Value of Knowledge Management to beancounters - based various experiences. Of course, I can't put the really juicy stuff in the presentation - you'd have to get me in to deliver it for that...

gsoh essential

In personal ads, a good sense of humour (or GSOH) is normally considered essential. I find this request very annoying because it is rarely clear what constitutes a good sense of humour for the writer. Humour is important because what we find funny is tied up with who we are, what we value, what we think of ourselves and others. I might think my darkie and fag jokes are absolutely hilarious but you might think otherwise. Unless people say what GSOH means, requesting it it pointless. The writer is basically saying that "I like people with a similar worldview and values". Like, duh!

It kinda reminds of organisational value statements that refer to "excellence" or "a customer focus".

Who doesn't think they are funny? And who doesn't think they value excellence?
