R&D professionals are employed to learn and create and teach. If you think about it teaching is already a big part of what we do when we write research reports patents, monthly reports, share at research reviews and at most meetings.
Blogging is simply another, (less formal) way that we can teach one another. We can do this by creating our own private communities and blog to them or we can blog to everyone who will listen.
Blogging our insights, our learnings or difficult challenges can help us to innovate and collaborate FASTER. Faster means sooner to market.
Does blogging at work seem like a good or bad idea to you?
