I have written a few think pieces on this matter because in my view it is one of the most serious problems that we have in the IC today. I have posted some thoughts on this matter on my blog; the specific piece is at <a href="http://davelush.typepad.com/extracts_from_the_discomf/2008/02/the-threat-knowledge-management-imperative-and-the-analyst-culture-trap.html" rel="nofollow">http://davelush.typepad.com/extracts_from_the_dis...</a>. Suffice to say here that I believe the problem is largely one for leadership which in my view has thus far generally "caved" to the whims of the analyst community. I have seen numerous situations in which a small handful of right thinking analysts applied new tools with great effectiveness thus proving the worth of the tool but nevertheless the bulk of the analysts still didn't adapt and the leadership didn't lead even tho the benefits of the tool were in essence demonstrated and proven. This is not good! Be well! your blog is great! Dave Lush Bob, I agree whole heartedly with your observation about analyst culture and the rate of tool adoption.
