Importance of Context (Or the OREO Cookie Conundrum)
Daniel Antion, Vice President Information Services at American Nuclear Insurers has a great new blog post at AIIM on The Importance of Context. He starts with a cute anecdote:
If I told you that when my daughter was very young, I once let her drink from a glass that had been contaminated with a grainy black particulate matter, you might think I was nuts. If I added that it was a glass of milk, and the particulate matter was OREO Cookie crumbs, you would understand. The additional information that proved so important in that sentence seems to be something that people are so willing to ignore as we move into an era characterized by communication at the speed of light. The information (context) that we forget to include is costing us followers, customers, and generally diminishes the value of the content that we choose to save for the next generation.
Why Document Sets are NOT Folders!!!!
If you use a computer, then you have, without doubt, created and structured folders. Folders help us clump our files into (hopefully) an organized manner so we can find what we need. Unfortunately, folders do not always help us find our stuff. To even hope for success you need a single and consistent set of rules and naming conventions. How many of us have that? Do you use that at work? Can you find any file or document within 5-10 seconds? Isn’t that the point of using a computer; to make you more productive?
