A solidly thought out organization structure for knowledge
access and retention provides a distinct navigation
advantage and is well worth the trouble. It provides access
to basic units of knowledge which form the foundation for
adding value to our services and our customers. Search
engines, bookmarks, databases, electronic and physical
reference material function as unique accelerators and can
give us a relative advantage which we can further enhance by
our personal preferences and adapt to our learning styles.
The ancient Romans set an example. To expand and manage
their empire, they perfected the building of roads, solid
structures of engineering with four layers of
sub-structures. On the surface, the roads were ridged in
the middle to allow drainage. The untiring engineering zeal
which has taken shape in these roads, sections of which are
functional 2000 years later provided a powerful
infrastructure for conquest, control and civilization.
Armies, governors, and tax collectors traversed these roads
through the wilderness of the colonies. One of the greatest
beneficiaries of these ancient roads were merchants.
Solidly built roads no longer exposed them to bandits and
robbers because their wagons got stuck in the mud or
disabled in potholes. Because of its roads, Rome had a
distinct advantage and it became a glorious empire in its
time.
