Maybe we need to discuss what we mean by process.I guess in my mind the "Process" is that process by which decisions are made within an organization. In Capturing Organizational Memory, and on their website, GDSS is promoting a system of capturing the entire thought process behind the decisions that are made during a meeting. I see QuestMap, GDSS's software, as a sort of graphical "minutes" of a meeting.
I think technography facilitates the making of decisions, while something like QuestMap records the event.
To wrap up, I agree with you, Bernie. Technography doesn't capture process, it facilitates it- something infinitely more useful, in my mind. Yes, it's nice to have a record of the process by which a decision is made, if the decision is made. Technography, I think, helps that decision to be made faster and with a greater consensus.
