One of the most vexing parts of working for a company that thoroughly ignores KM and CoPs (getting something done involves flying below the radar, and ultimately getting swatted – I’m getting used to it- or using your own free time as usual) is the sheer impossibility of attending events such as Community 2.o, over … Sigue leyendo
