[kictanet] Kictanet alive.. kickin, or kicked into the dustbin...!

Ara..!

Not many people seriously want to rejuvenate this forum, as per
Brian/Walubengo's suggestion.?

Cannot imagine the forum becoming a good case study one day for some thesis
student. Whose research titles among others:-

.         "How-to-kill a good forum, kick it into the dustbin and leave it
for the dead" 

.         "The rise and rise, and fall and fall of a myriad of many ICT
forums in Kenya, the major one being..

.         "How-not-to build structural resilience and offer strategic
leadership". Why the big forum went M.I.A, and petered out..

.         And the final one perhaps, " Do not repeat the mistakes listed
above, time for a RESET.."!

Certainly, unless otherwise - we might be headed for such a case study. Not
sure if I should patent the titles, just in case..!

I think Walu is on the right track. Every organisation for-profit or not,
has to reassess it's strategy, relevance, business direction and thrust
periodically or risk falling into the shadows.

Is it time for KICTAnet to do so?

As one of the founders and a trustee I think that the time has come.

My 2 shillings,

@Wash,

Maybe Delano is insinuating something. Perhaps KICTAnet needs to re-juvinate
and re-energize. Bring in new blood and thinking. What do we want from
KICTAnet, 8yrs later? What management structures, membership structures,
operational, financial structures do we want to see going forward?

Perhaps a brainstorming face2face session is due. I for one have been the
moderator since inception and maybe someone else can do a better job and we
just have not asked them to come forth. Think about it - I could have run
out of ideas or some younger dot.commer <http://dot.com>  may just be
sitting on better ways of moderation that I have never imagined...

just my 2pings.

walu.

I'm not sure which is which, until I see some response on whether we might
just as well happen to be drifting along rudderless.!!

You mean the post-Easter stupor, or??
