Mission and method

This blog deals with how we can know where the 'nose' (a proper metaphor) is the correct tool and how to apply such. That we all have noses ought to help the intuition; however, that attribute of ours does not as well work in the virtual, of yet.

To where would the nose be applied? Many business decisions shatter dreams. There are endless arguments about business and ethics. Yet, work is central to people's well-being, using work in a fairly broad sense.

Business decisions affect us in other ways, too.

One approach might be to collect, document and discuss experiences related to business practices from all angles, and not just those hyped in the media, trying to ascertain and to maintain 'truth' related to events.

In terms of 'collect' and 'document' we may hopefully provide some persistent record that was not covered in the media. An example might be someone who lost their job in a divestiture detailing the cost. For one example, we can easily look at who won out. In terms of discuss, the idea is to handle both the concrete and the general (case studies).

Too, we can look at current events that may provide the grounds for developing the nose. An example might be a very visible program that has a very broad appeal and that covers so many aspects of modern technology and life that will be of interest to the needed effort.

Posts will be done in 3 stages: initial draft, then links to on-line supporting material, finally editing to remove any troublesomeness. All edits, after the initial date, will be marked by a datestamp.

Posts are intentionally non-linear. Later edits will provide bi-directional links that will tie together posts through time to allow expansions on a theme. A list of links will be used to represent successive discussions (linearity) on a subject.

If you would like to tell a tale about an event, please use the 'comments' section (describe your experiences of the event or your loss or gains). We will have examples posted from time to time.
Let's take a moment to consider matters of conduct.

Comments are encouraged and will not be moderated, however they may be cleaned up via summary if necessary. Comments can be signed or not.

Related e-mail can be sent to ajswtlk[at]gmail[dot]com. Sources will not be revealed.
