[21 December 2000] Three more 'idea-tools' essays for the 'Xio toolbox':

More than the system - on thinking holistically about systems
Managing knowledge - on managing more than information
The labyrinth of skill - on the weird nature of the skills-learning process

- and more on the way, of course.

[31 October 2000] Once again we've only only had time to add a couple more 'idea-tools' essays to the 'Xio toolbox':

Apples, oranges and uncertainty - on not trying to control inherent uncertainty
Work is play is learn - on the interelationships between work, play and skills-development

More next time!

[21 September 2000] The first of the regular Xio site-updates, which should be happening every six or seven weeks from now on.

This time we've only only had time to add a few more 'idea-tools' essays to the 'Xio toolbox':

What's the purpose? - on the purpose of purpose-statements
Money, money, money... - on facing the fundamental flaws of a money-based economy
Economic rationalism isn't - why most so-called 'economic rationalism' is bad for business

The 'toolkit' is growing quite fast: we're working our way slowly through a list of about twenty more 'idea-tools' to add to the site, and there are plenty more on the way. So please do use the feedback area - or the Notes section attached to each page - to let us know what you think, and any suggestions for other 'idea-tools' you'd like to share with others through this site.
