Quantify the unquantifiable

Recently, there were a series of Dilbert strips that really struck a cord - They were 3/31, 4/02, 4/03, 4/04, 4/05, 4/06, 4/07

Here's one of them

Can anyone else relate?

Well, that very week I met with an Australian company called Corporate Knowhow that has been working on the same problem and has come up with a better solution than Dogbert the Quantifier.

Corporate Knowhow is an organisational development consultancy providing consultants and corporations with unique technologies and methodologies to generate value, to develop human capital and to create sustainable competitive advantage.

Corporate Knowhow has developed Mentor , a unique software-based organisational diagnostic and development system. The system identifies the nature and source(s) of corporate performance issues, prioritises development initiatives and measures the benefits arising from implementation. The result is sustained high levels of corporate effectiveness and efficiency, whilst providing an environment for accelerated individual development and engagement.

Sounds intriguing.

I need to get myself some of that!
