Peter Drucker, the brilliant management guru who defined the term ‘knowledge worker’, was clear these employees or partners couldn’t be controlled but must instead be motivated and given integrative collaboration environments to excel. Common goals, values and sense of purpose empower them to succeed on their own terms.

As an advocate of decentralization and against ‘command and control’ management, Drucker was clear knowledge workers would collaborate effectively as a community if driving to specified business objectives. While the new 2.0 technologies realize this and facilitate execution, strategic planning in many cases lags behind broadband application development and are not aligned with Drucker’s clarity of thought.

Very interesting take after the Enterprise 2.0 Summit in Frankfurt. Interesting enough we were discussing it in a Lotus Marketing workshop a few days earlier. Lotus was with Lotus Notes the company with the tool most efficiently supporting Knowledge Workers. In the last years this focus and the awareness of Lotus as the (meanwhile IBM brand) delivering the environment for Knowledge Workers seems to got lost a bit. We do need to re-iterate this fact. Meanwhile we do have Lotus Notes "as the E-Mail client of the future" and much more to offer, e.g. with Lotus Connections as the integrated Social platform for the Enterprise 2.0.

Lotus knows we should stress and emphasize this message again - clear and loud.

(Personal opinion. No official IBM statement :-)

Frequently when I read, I snap photos of pages I want to remember or comment on later. Usually these then go into Evernote, which is really good about letting me search images by the words in them. But tonight I figured out a way to actually turn those pics into editable text.

What you need:

Set up a "pipe" at Pixelpipe to Google Docs--but not the normal Google Docs. Right next to it in the Pixelpipe list is a Google Docs with a little "OCR" badge, which of course stands for Optical Character Recognition. It makes sense that Google would have some nifty OCR technology, considering the amount of effort it's put into its book scanning project, but I never noticed it as a feature with Google Docs before.

You can probably figure out the rest. You snap a picture, you open Pixelpipe and upload it to your Google Docs OCR pipe. Because Pixelpipe lets you selectively upload images to any combination of about 17 million different web services, you can also send that pic to Evernote, Flickr, a blog, your grandma, an FTP account, I don't care. You get the idea.

My one caveat with this is that the Google Doc OCR doesn't have the highest fidelity when it comes to conversion. I can only assume Google introduces some sort of deliberate degradation of the image when it converts it, or it randomly adds characters after conversion, because there's no way I'm buying that Google's OCR is this shoddy. I tested it out with a couple of pristine screencaps of text to see what a perfect conversion would look like, and the results were about 90% accurate on the first one, and 75% accurate on the second. So, this is clearly not going to be an effective way to pirate a book at your local Barnes & Noble. However, it's a great way to take editable notes as you're reading, without having to stop and write anything down at the moment. Shoot the images to Evernote or Flickr and you'll have a reference backup image for any corrections you need to make.

What I love about this, though, is it provides a way to grab editable text from ebooks I happen to be reading on my iPhone--which is something that's nearly impossible with most ebooks due to DRM lock-down. Below is an example of an ebook I screencapped on the iPhone, then Pixelpiped to Google Docs OCR.

A: The time -tested ones have already been mentioned: identifying and promot- ing strengths; education; structure; life- style changes; coaching, counseling, and tutoring.
Although as yet unproven, physical exer- cises speciñcally designed to stimulate the cerebellum may become mainstream interventions. There are various pro- grams that do this, such as the Dore method, the Brain Gym, the Interactive Metronome, and the groups of exercises prescribed by occupational therapists.

Following the link in my original tweet, I was able to login to MobileMe and access all areas including Find My iPhone on my iPhone. The advantage of this is if a partner has lost their iPhone whilst out, it is possible to login to their MobileMe account and use the Find My iPhone facility. You cannot login to MobileMe using the Safari browser on the iPhone.

I wrote this note on how to create a Template in the Desktop version of Mail on a Mac at the beginning of 2007 but it still seems valid. In fact, it is also relevant to using Mail on the iPhone. Currently, I notice that if I create a draft on the Desktop version of Mail, the Draft is *not* shared via MobileMe to the web nor the iPhone versions of Mail; even though the 'Store draft messages on the server' is checked in Mail Preferences. Drafts created in either web Mail or iPhone Mail *are* synced and available to both these versions of Mail. One way to get a Desktop Draft onto the iPhone (or the web) is to move the Draft to a Mailbox folder then copy the text from the synced email in the Mailbox on the iPhone but it shouldn't be necessary.

Create a draft or template Mail message
• Open MailClick New button (File > New Message)
• Create the template contents in a new email message.
• Click Save As Draft button (File > Save as Draft)
• If desired: Move the draft message to a different mailbox folder e.g. a new one named Templates. (see note 2 and 3)

To use the template
• Click on the template message. (see note 1)
• Click Message > Send Again
• Edit as necessary.
• If desired: Click Save As Draft button again. (see note 4)
• Enter or edit the To: address, as needed.
• Click Send button (Message > Send) to send the final message. (see note 3)

Send Again will work for any message you have, including messages that have been sent or received, not just newly created drafts or "templates". 

Note:
1. If the draft template message is in the Drafts mailbox folder — double-clicking the message will open an editable message i.e. the text and message fields can be edited immediately.

2. If a message has previously been sent, received OR moved from the Drafts folder into another mailbox folder — double-clicking the message will open an uneditable message.
•  To make the message editable: Click Message > Send Again 
•  This menu choice can be used with an opened message or on a highlighted message in a mailbox folder.

3. A message sent from the Drafts mailbox folder is immediately removed from this folder (like sending an original letter — you no longer have it once it's posted) but there will be the resulting sent message in the Sent folder.
•  If the message is sent with Send Again from any other mailbox folder (i.e. not from the Drafts mailbox folder), the original message is not removed from its folder, and the resulting sent message will be in the Sent folder (like taking a photocopy of the original and posting the photocopy).
•  Clearly, having a Templates mailbox folder separate from the Drafts mailbox folder is an advantage for a message that wants to be used again and again because the template will remain in the Templates mailbox.

4. Caution: When editing a template message that is NOT in the Drafts mailbox, Save as Draft will save the newly edited message into the Drafts mailbox not the original's mailbox. It will not overwrite the original message. Therefore, if the template message needs re-editing make the changes, save the changed then move the undated template message from the Drafts mailbox and into the Templates mailbox.
•  Move the saved template from the Drafts mailbox before Sending. Otherwise the updated template in Drafts will disappear. The Sent message will then have to be re-used.
•  If the Subject: title has not been changed; the updated version of the template will have a later Date Received date or time in the mailbox folder list.
•  Delete the older version.

5. Drafts cannot be moved on the iPhone but they can on the web.
