Jan Lelie in LO20342 talked of a couple more certifications - I was aware
of APICS since we had joint meetings with them every year on a topic of
mutual interest like Square Wheels.
There are MANY organizations willing to bestow certification, just like
there are so many associations (many thousands are qualified here in the
US as non-profits) and also willing to take our monies.
The key is VALUE. Thus my question as to the value of certification in
Knowledge Management.
Jan mentioned his ability to certify me in CATCH42 and I must say that I
am more than interested. For only $100, I get the "Yellow Towel" It may
be of at least the same value, and maybe more to me personally since my
dog just had an operation for a lump on her leg and she just now came home
and left a little yellow spot on the kitchen floor.
Yellow. Good. And at least we know that that system is working properly.
And I'm reminded of Yosarian's quote in the book Catch 22:
"Nothing made sense, and neither did anything else."
So, Jan, my check is "in the mail," as we say here in the US. And I hope
that that certificate and towel are on their way here.
BTW, is At starting a series of Beer Jokes in the list? I did a search in
my joke compendium and probably have a few hundred with beer as a theme.
But I liked his Koos joke ending in, ""Gimme anoder one of dose beers
whidge never stops."
With a little tongue in cheek,
