eth Godin is on a roll. In the last three months he's published 3 e-books and is launching a new website (business?). It started with Knock Knock and was quickly followed by Who's There? Seth's latest is Everyone's an Expert (about Something). This book makes the case that we all have something useful we can teach others. Seth is not charging for any of these books, however he does encourage readers who like the book to make a gift to the Red Cross or another charity.

So what does this have to do with project management? Everything. First, Seth has an amazing capacity to bring together people to get his and others' projects done. Each of these books, along with the forthcoming The Big Moo, take collaboration and the contributions of many. Everyone's an Expert introduces the idea of providing a lens on a topic. A lens is a way an expert can introduce that expertise to others. Think of a lens as a single webpage that assembles a collection of resources. Of course, each of us could search and assemble our own resources, but then we have to find the best among all the rest. Enter the expert.

I've posted a lens on project leadership and project-based kaizen. I'll follow these with a lens on the language-action perspective. You can find them from the navigation bar in the header or RPM Lenses.
