The future's here catch me on computer software

A really really obscure lyric from Wu-Tang-Clan (80's rap band) gives us our theme and I have just spent an interesting 40 minutes or so being trained by our information worker on the use of the new database. Got to hand it to John who is bringing our management of information up to speed and enabling us to make sense of our contacts in a meaningful way. We have spent a lot of effort building a mass membership but this brings with it some information flow issues. We are developing an approach to build relationships with individuals within groups rather than just the groups themselves. This is useful because people tend to wear a number of hats in the VCS and understanding the range and scale of their involvement is key. Anyway I feel on top of the process - or at least sufficiently so to ask the right questions!!!

And in their most unadulterated form here are Wu-Tang-Clan (usual hip-hop/rap parental advisory sticker applies to this post by the way) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMkOEtOR2GU

you may have to cut and paste the slideshare address into your browser.
