The ROI of enterprise 2.0 learning — Informal Learning Blog

“You can’t manage what you don’t measure” is nonsense. The vast majority of what senior executives manage is immeasurable. They make judgment calls; they play hunches.

In this crisis, bad management and bad process pulled down the brand, the financials and, in some cases, the whole company.
