Tribal knowledge is present in every organization, no matter what size. It isn’t always a bad thing, but there’s a lot of inaccurate tribal knowledge floating around out there. How do we distinguish between documented and undocumented facts?
In the March issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors will provide readers with the tools and methodologies needed to identify tribal knowledge, as well as when to question such information, and how to document and transform it into a process.

It’s Only Common Sense: Selling With Confidence
08/30/2024 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseOne thing that frustrates me is when salespeople feel they have to beg their customers — for a meeting, a quote, or an order. What does that say about you as a salesperson if you feel that you have to beg your customer for anything? Let’s face it, if you honestly felt that you had the world’s best product or service, you would act like you are doing your customer a favor and not the other way around.
It’s Only Common Sense: Hear That? It’s Opportunity Knocking
08/26/2024 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseI was reading the Sunday comics the other day when I came across a statement in “Hi and Lois” or maybe it was “Arlo and Janis” — one of those deep philosophical comic strips. One character says to the other, “He’s the kind of guy that when he hears opportunity knocking, he complains about the noise.” I love that. Not only because it’s funny, but because it’s also true.
PCB007 Magazine August 2024: Advancing Wet Process Control

It’s Only Common Sense: More of My Favorite Customer Service Stories
08/12/2024 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseCustomer service is getting worse. How about those pain-in-the-neck supermarket self-checkouts? How about whenever you approach somebody at Best Buy or Home Depot and they are never the right person? The right person is on break. Is it too easy to attack the airlines? Way too easy. Let’s just say that paying to get on the plane early, paying to borrow a blanket, and paying for Wi-Fi is going in the wrong direction. Although I don’t think we have hit bottom yet. That will come with paying to use the toilets and renting life jackets at a premium depending on the severity of the emergency. Never underestimate the creativity (cruelty?) of a hungry bean counter.
