Employee Portal Benchmark

Die Mitarbeiterportal-Studie der European Business School
In vielen Organisation besteht trotz limitierter IT-Budgets und steigendem Investitionsrechtfertigungsdruck keine ausreichende Klarheit über den Nutzen getätigter und geplanter Investitionen in Mitarbeiterportale. Unvollständige Kenntnisse über Benutzerverhalten und -bedürfnisse führen nicht selten zu Fehlinvestitionen. Die Akzeptanz des Portals durch die Benutzer ist unklar ebenso wie die die von den Benutzern empfundene Übersichtlichkeit, Bedienung, und Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit. An dieser Ausgangslage setzt unsere Benchmarking-Studie an.

Playing with Flock
This is an interesting review of a previous beta version of Flock. I have just installed the new release of Flock and started to play around with it. I am curious whether it will be able to remove Firefox as my favorite browser.

German team wins the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup

Germany is champion of the Women's World Cup again. Behind its trademark smothering defense and a crafty save by its goalkeeper on a penalty kick, Germany defeated Brazil 2-0 in the final Sunday. It became the first women's soccer team to successfully defend its title in the World Cup or Olympics.Read more . . .

Ingo's Stag Night

Equipped with Stuff for Sale
Originally uploaded by Ingo Erdmann
Eike and Charlotte spent the last week in Oerlinghausen. I joint them at the weekend because of Ingo's stag night in Paderborn. Some (former) GCC colleagues, a cousin, his brother and I surprised Ingo on Saturday evening. Ingo had to offer and sell various products and services in Paderborn's city and was quite successful. He could pay for some rounds of (good and not so good) cocktails. We had a lot of fun and it was a pleasure for me to meet them all again.

HICSS-41 2008 notifications of acceptance/rejection

HICSS-41
Originally uploaded by Stefan Smolnik
All decisions have been made! The notifications of acceptance and rejection have been sent out today by the online review system. As every year, there were very tough and close decisions because the quality of the submitted papers was extremely high. We will have two sessions with altogether 6 accepted papers at HICSS-41. Among these accepted papers is also the paper co-authored by Murray, me, and Dave. :-) It is entitled "Towards Measuring Knowledge Management Success" - it's abstract:
"Discussions at previous HICSS conferences have revealed that there is no general agreement on definitions of knowledge management (KM) and knowledge management system (KMS) success. We developed these concepts and presented them earlier this year. Using an expert panel approach followed by two exploratory surveys, we identify KM success measures. The research demonstrates that measures for KM success are required on multiple dimensions. This paper thus also presents a set of dimensions with measures that can be used to determine if KM in an organization is successful."Do not forget: It is time to make plans for the trip to Hawaii now!

Charlotte and her new hobby: blowing!
Charlotte loves to blow air out of her mouth since a couple of weeks. But in the last days, she has learned to make some "sound" with the blowing. She is soooo cute.
Charlotte is moving through our living room
About one or two weeks ago, Charlotte has started to move also forwards through our rooms. You cannot really call these movements (high or "hands-and-knees") crawling but it is de facto low crawling (on her stomach). After today's baby swimming, I have also the impression that she sometimes tries to get her knees on the ground. And she is getting faster and faster each day. We really need to start making our apartment childproof.
