ABSTRACT

Magicians, who are masters of optical illusions, convince breathless audiences that their tricks work by magic. But the tricks really result from precision sleight of hand, split-second timing, and careful planning. And Merlin’s code prevents the brotherhood of magicians from ever whispering its secrets. Knowledge is all that separates the knowing from the unknowing, the magician from the audience. Knowledge is elusive (especially in large organizations), inconsistent, unripe, and buried in information.
