Spooky… or is there something in all this?

The wonderful McKinsey Quarterly seems to be on the same wavelength as us… there must be something in the water (or something to do with connections suddenly appearing when you’re looking for them) as there are two pieces that resonate.

First, an article on Recovering from Information Overload. As the standfirst says: “Always-on, multitasking work environments are killing productivity, dampening creativity, and making us unhappy.” Nice!

Second, words from Tom Davenport are due next week on how we need to take a strategic approach to rethinking knowledge work. The teaser claims he will offer guidance that will “bring sanity to 21st-century knowledge work”. Yes please. I’m a long-term fan of Tom’s thoughts on KM so am looking forward to this immensely.

Now all I need is some time to read it all and digest what I learn from it…
