A kind of treasure hunt
Saturday, August 2, 2008 at 9:34AM Took some time on a day off this week to hunt for a missing ring that I suspect went missing during a leaf raking/yard cleanup session last fall. The search on about 2 acres of yard was unfortunately unsuccessful. And that's using one of these -

We did find some other interesting things though, items that would have never been discovered without the Ace250.
Okay, stretch analogy time. Think of the giant yard as your organization. There are obvious features and strengths that you don't need to look very hard to discover. But how much talent, knowledge, and creativity is out there, just below the surface? Skills and attributes that would require specialty tools like the Ace250 to discover.
In the HR Technology world there are many types of these tools, corporate social networks from SelectMinds, wikis from PbWiki, all the way to full integrated solutions like the one from Halogen.
Sometimes you have to look harder to find the treasures that are surely there.
Collaboration, organization, talent in organization
