Dutch Bloggies interview

Category:Events,Video Tags : 
[lang_nl]Vorige week waren in Den Haag de Dutch Bloggies. Als een van de actieve Dutch Cowboy-ers was ik aanwezig op deze ‘Oscars voor de blogs in Nederland’.

Dutch Cowboys was genomineerd voor twee bloggies maar won er helaas geen enkele. Toch was het een leuke avond waarbij je inspiratie op kon doen van de winnaars, maar vooral ook van de aanwezige mensen.

Tijdens de Bloggies werd ik door Patrick Petersen van Dutch Cowboys voor de camera gehaald om mijn ervaring van die avond te delen. Zie hieronder het resultaat.[/lang_nl][lang_en]Last week in The Hague the Dutch Bloggies were awarded. As one of the active bloggers on Dutch Cowboys I attended the "Oscars for Dutch weblogs’.

Dutch Cowboys was nominated for two bloggies, but didn’t win one of them. Still it was a very good night on which you could get inspiration from winners, but even more from the people who attended.

During the bloggiesPatrick Petersen from Dutch Cowboys pulled me in front of a camera to shre my experience of that night. See below the result.[/lang_en]

Rules on internet project management: (14) Keep account of lack of knowledge

Category:Projectmanagement,Rules Internet Project management Tags : 
[lang_nl]Regels voor internet project management: (14) Hou rekening met ontbrekende kennisIedereen heeft zo zijn eigen specialiteit. Daarom werk je immers voor dat ene bedrijf of in die bedrijfstak. Een leverancier wordt ingehuurd vanwege diens kennis van zaken op een gebied waar de opdrachtgever geen of minder verstand van heeft. Regel 14 richt zich op het gat tussen deze twee:

Hou rekening met ontbrekende kennis
Het is moeilijk om je te verplaatsen in een ander. Het is nog moeilijker je te verplaatsen in de kennis van een ander. De neiging is er snel om maar aan te nemen dat een ander je begrijpt. Die neiging is niet altijd juist. Als jij denkt dat iets duidelijk is hoeft dat voor een ander nog zeker niet zo te zijn. [/lang_nl][lang_en]Rules on internet project management: (14) Keep account of lack of knowledgeEveryone has their own specialty. That’s why you work for that specific company or in that specific industry. A supplier is hired because of his expertise in an area where the client has no or less expertise. Rule 14 focuses on the gap between these two:

Keep account of lack of knowledge
It is difficult for you to step into someone else’s shoes. It is even harder to picture the knowledge of someone else. The tendency is to quickly believe that the other one understands you. That tendency is not always correct. If you think that something is clear for the other it doesn’t have to be the case. [/lang_en]
