Matt Moore - Performance Enhancing

"In 2003, the knowledge management group I worked in was merged with the learning team. As with all mergers, the first meeting was, er, interesting. Each group across from the other. Someone from the other side of the table spoke up: 'You do something with databases, don't you?' They didn't know what we did. We didn't know what they did. It proved to be fun, and sometimes painful, finding out."

An introduction: Hi, I'm Mike Riverdsale, who are you?

It was at an NZKM lunchtime catch-up here in Wellington that someone made a great observation - "Let's not dive into having formal agenda but start by getting to know each other" (I paraphrase).

And that person was totally onto it - without us actually knowing each other it's pretty tough to share ideas, have trust and get along. And so, this is me (source: my company site):
