Hockley comments that "the real knowledge comes from the people who are the subject matter experts on the real-life use of X and Y." This is (unfortunately) true. Why unfortunate? Because Aaron Stout is also correct. "When someone leaves, most of their knowledge leaves with them". I don't believe that "most stuff isn't important." As the Getting Things Done philosohpy points out, you need to write Stuff down. You need to get "stuff" out of your head! The octopus is useless without his arms. All that "stuff" - written and stored - is how we communicate our knowledge with each other across time and space. Both the head AND the "stuff" are important! Aaron B.
