Session Eight

Organization memory was an interesting topic this week. I think businesses should not allow one person to obtain and retain all the important information about the business. When CEO, CIO, and CFO leave a business they take much of their marketing, leadership and financial expertise with them. When research and development leaders and supervisors leave a business they could possibly take information that is needed to complete a project. I agree that information should be stored and shared amongst team members. It should be recorded in the business’s database for future review. One person should not prevent an organization from reaching its maximum potential. It is important to have groupware tools in place to prevent this from happening.
