In Reply to: Why would you implement KM? posted by Larry on June 13, 2001 at 11:24:34:

Gentle People,

Many of us know (!) that the intrinsic value of money is insignificant. The value of the metal, or the paper, is not the value economies are build upon.

The value of money is based upon the trust, the faith & belief we have in its value. We belief that the value of money is that what is printed on it. Imagine the leap of faith we, the gentle people, have to make to perceive value from virtual money. But without problem, most of us use a credit card.

Profit is expressed in terms of money. And 'money' is nothing more (and nothing less) then our trust, faith and belief in the value of it.

Jerome P. tells to everyone in this forum who wants to hear it (and sometimes to everyone who doesn't want to here it too) that we have to go back to business, KM is about profit. And I imagine he is stamping with his feet on the floor, and grunting through his teeth, while he submits his postings to this forum.

Then I think, what Jerome actually wants to say to us, is that KM is about trust, faith and belief.

And he is so right, so very right...


Regards
Daan de Koning
