Knowledge.com
A repository of documents, presentation and templates to assist with work tasks | |
Consultants are able to pump out masses of documents and appear to be generating heaps of ideas through there use of knowledge repositories, the work they have done on one job is cleaned up (commercial inconfidence information removed) and used as a basis for the next job.
Am proposing that a similar
style of database is available to the non consultants out there. Thing that you created a great presentation, remove all the crucial details and post it to the site for others to use as a basis
The next person comes along and has a starting point for their presentation. A kind of open source work repositry, just having a starting framework leads to more rapid idea crystallisation.

Why do you need a .com for this? Consultant's files can be saved locally (and, much more securely) at the company's location. Simply burn all the files used in research to a CD and give them to the next person. If you need them to be accessible online, there are plenty of secure online storage sites. Google returned 5740 hits for the term "Online File Storage". |

Maybe I didn't make this clear, the idea is that the non-consultants can make use of this type of support mechanism through sharing with others. |
|
| |
Maybe examples.com would be better? |
|
| |
I doubt that many consultants would place their distilled information on a site for 'open source' access without some serious compensation. |
|

I need to reword it, the idea is that non consultant types put pieces of their work in as open source, I want to write a business case for the goat lawnmower company, I look and find that are three example business cases that other people have used to start their own companies. |

If any of these framework documents have legal implications an airtight disclaimer might help when you're sued for errors and omissions or other shortcomings in the documents. |
|
| |
That or suggest that they only be used outside of the united states! |
|
| |
[PHD]: I've tried what you're suggesting, but getting the goat to spin the blade around fast enough is damned near impossible! :) |

"...the idea is that non consultant types put pieces of their work in as open source..."
That's the HalfBakery! |
|
| |
Templates.com maybe. I don't see what 'knowledge' is there. |

//Am proposing that a similar style of database is available to the 'NON CONSULTANTS' (my emphasis).// Good idea but if you want this idea to appeal to the hb "hierarchy" -- forget it. Water it down (till it is a different idea), kiss *** (pathetic), or admit the idea was a "loser". |

Authority types will hate or at the least dislike this idea because it is idealistic. |
|
| |
I personally like your idea (in fact I don't think it goes far enough). Good job! Now get reworking NOT rewording. Having good ideas isn't enough, you have to be able to stand up and defend them. Looking forward to seeing what you come back with. |

I think he's just selling it wrong. Calling it 'knowledge.com' was quite misleading. What I see is a website for storing well designed templates for presentations. That's not what one would expect to find at at site deeming itself the repository of 'knowledge'. |
|
| |
Could very well be baked anyway, not sure. |
|
| |
Good point [...squeke] (the "squeke" wheel gets the grease right) [:)]. But it all seems a little picky. Should it be examples.com or templates.com (both admittedly more accurate). Or should s/he just expand on the idea. Who's to say? I'd say PH&D "themself". |
