TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Not yet mentioned is the organizational cultural attitude of knowledge:
both creation and management.
If the focus is on knowledge creation, the management is usually considered
a justifiable overhead expense. If knowledge creation is not well
understood, likely the management is a bit slippery. If knowledge creation
is not valued or understood, knowledge management will be a mess.
Doctors are more and more taking telemed out of the hands of the techies
because medicine is all about growing knowledge and the techies would
rather focus on widgets. The conflict is not resolvable until techies get
it through their heads that its the knowledge creation that keeps things
moving forward. Software and hardware only are facilitation tools.
