http://talascend-debra.blogspot.com/2012/04/training-has-never-been-luxury-just-ask.html
Tuesday, April 3, 2012. Training has never been a luxury, just ask a tomato. Just like with vegetables, homegrown is always better when it comes to talent resources. The proverbial bright red tomato. Will not arrive by accident. Too bad most of industry has gotten out of the gardening business. Follow me here for a minute. If you want the best garden in the neighborhood, with the biggest, most colorful and healthiest produce, you have to invest time in the process of helping the produce along. It’s...

TalascendDCS - John Barton: Faulty approaches to Project Document Control cost millions and put projects at risk
http://talascenddcs.blogspot.com/2012/03/faulty-approaches-to-project-document.html
Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Faulty approaches to Project Document Control cost millions and put projects at risk. This week, I would like to throw a spotlight on a ubiquitous irony that results in the unnecessary waste of millions of pounds across all engineering and construction sectors. Industry does not recognize professional expertise in Project Document Control. This sounds ridiculous and it is, so why does it happen all the time? Why do all my peers in this business have very similar tales to tell?

TalascendDCS - John Barton: If it's not rocket science, why do so few people understand it?
http://talascenddcs.blogspot.com/2012/03/if-its-not-rocket-science-why-do-so-few.html
Sunday, March 18, 2012. If it's not rocket science, why do so few people understand it? Of course I also know some world class Information Managers and even some Records Managers who understand what Document Control should look like, but they all started out as Document Controllers themselves). I have complete respect for my fellow colleagues and for their expertise in their own fields. Obviously good Records Management is essential. Patently, for the sake of our planet, good Operational Document...The f...

TalascendDCS - John Barton: April 2012
http://talascenddcs.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 24, 2012. When it comes to Document Control, don’t re-invent the wheel. My last blog addressed the question of where Document Control should ideally report to. I suggested that if you know what it is then you’ll know where it belongs. I also wore a Rabbit suit as an Easter fashion statement but I still got some serious feedback. The final re-invention from a perfectly good wheel to something that isn’t round and can never function properly, had begun. Now you find Document Contro...All of ...
