METHODOLOGY taxonomy
Dear fellow turkey,
Perhaps, we need to impose on the powers that be to open up another subgroup for the discussion of the “soft” stuff — Methods, Procedures, Processes, Strategies, Tactics, Data, and Tools.
For example, I had one “deer in the headlight” fellow wander into me, who had just been “nuked”, and was totally unprepared (Is there any other kind on un-prepar-ed-ness?). So I pointed out that he didn’t have to start spending lots of money that he didn’t have. The township library had a computer and high speed internet access.
When people have their own computer, there’s a lot of Open Source (Free!) Software and “stuff” available. No need to buy Microsoft Office like your last employer did for 300$ when there is OpenOffice that is very close. Outlook versus Thunderbird.
And, all those internet services like Plaxo, Linkedin, Cardscan, and such.
Then when they need direction there are a lot of templates and advisors that can help them. I’m a fan of Lucht’s workbook.
FWIW, your mileage may vary, all free advice is just that,
Fjohn
yet another fellow turkey
