40. Email
‣ “Email is the graveyard for knowledge”
‣ Not a discussion tool
‣ Not for collaborative content creation
‣ Conversations are only visible to those on the
receiver list
‣ Knowledge disappears too easily with the
employees who leave the company

meeting for a bigger
group of people

free, business version

‣ A document was sent to 100 people for
comments by email, 10 people sent their
