Gerry McGovern: Knowledge management is about desireThe right knowledge can make us all more productive. A professional publishing strategy is a proven way of transferring knowledge. Desire, and not technology, should be the foundation of such a strategy: the desire to create, find and share knowledge.

KM Magazine: War Management Knowledge
KM Magazine: War ManagementKnowledge management plays a central role in this transformation, which is taking place in all branches of the U.S. armed forces. Paradigm shifts have challenged the military in the decade since the Gulf War. While the private sector talks about the new economy, the defense establishment wrestles with the idea of a revolution in military affairs. As the services deploy everything from portals to handheld wireless devices, they are pursuing the same advantages through knowledge that the private sector seeks.

KM World: The importance of
KM World: The importance of writing badlyDavid Weinberger: Feeling constrained to write well can impede a Net conversation as well as propel it. Slowing it down may make it more deliberative but it is more likely to make it moribund. More important, a carefully written, flawless posting can imply a fixity of meaning that shunts the conversation from potentially useful courses. Writing hastily, accepting the inevitability of flaws, results in messages that implicitly say that the writer is thinking on her feet, is open to contradiction, is excited about taking the ideas to new places.

KM World: What happens to
KM World: What happens to knowledge workers when the economy heads south?In economically troubled times, managers must take a second look at the KM policies they are promoting. KM projects will fail if managers ask workers to act contrary to their own long-term best interests. KM is a highly political endeavor because workers lose ownership of the knowledge they share. When workers transfer their expertise to a broader community of practice, they could find their personal standing within an organization diminished. In some businesses, hoarding knowledge is a reliable means of gaining status...

OS Opinion: Knowledge Management Isn’t
OS Opinion: Knowledge Management Isn't EnoughTo derive the greatest value from knowledge channeling, organizations must understand the nature of their knowledge-based assets and how they link to other mission-critical assets and goals. Increased realization of knowledge as the core competence, coupled with recent advances in information technology such as intranets, World Wide Web, and portals, has given organizations the ability to channel knowledge to the right people at the right time.

JOHO: Post-Modern Knowledge Management: A
JOHO: Post-Modern Knowledge Management: A One-Question InterviewKnowledge management has traditionally suffered from the hubris of modernism: the belief that we can discover ultimate truths and organize the world according to rational principles using clever code. The idea was that we should capture and organize bits of "knowledge" in central databases. The people involved were relevant only as donors to the common ontology or as empty vessels into which knowledge could be poured.

Silicon.com: Knowledge management: It's about people tooThe term 'knowledge management' is outdated and confusing and should be scrapped, according to David Snowden, director of IBM's Institute of Knowledge Management, EMEA... According to Snowden, his analysis is based on a move towards studying culture as an anthropologist, not a consultant. Management consultants go into companies with pre-conceived ideas, argued Snowden, which is why they are unable to understand the knowledge management requirements within that company.

KM Magazine: Personal Chemistry Dow
KM Magazine: Personal Chemistry Dow made a conscious decision to use information stewards rather than hope that KM values would grow throughout the company by themselves. "You can hope that things organically emerge in the right direction, or you can say nothing will happen unless you put senior people in these roles to be change agents. That's what we chose to do." -- Dow Chemical's information stewards are the catalysts for sharing across business units.knowledge management Add tag Permalink | Thursday, August 02, 2001

KM Magazine: Getting the Most Out of Getting TogetherGiven today's array of virtual meeting tools, the old standby of real-time, face-to-face human interaction may seem like an endangered species. Bringing people together can be expensive, in terms of both time and money. But such gatherings often pay off down the line. Sometimes there's just no substitute for the positive impact that a face-to-face meeting can have on successful knowledge sharing--and on the bottom line as well.

KM World: KM and e-learning:
KM World: KM and e-learning: a growing partnership Yes, e-learning saves travel time and is available 24/7, but those often-touted advantages of e-learning miss the point. Enterprises that use e-learning as a part of their training strategy can do things that are just not possible with classroom training. The real value of e-learning lies in its ability to integrate into enterprise business processes and to better leverage intellectual capital. Using e-learning, a company can automate training delivery and offer customized training. New software tools allow knowledge located throughout the enterprise to be more easily captured and distributed as e-learning modules.knowledge management Add tag Permalink | Tuesday, July 24, 2001

osOpinion: E-Learning and Knowledge Management at the Crossroads The majority of new employment skills are learned informally through discussions with co-workers, mentoring by managers/supervisors, rummaging through and finding knowledge gems buried in shared directories, e-mail threads and the like. Only about 25 percent of employee skills are learned from formal training methods such as workshops, seminars and synchronous classes.knowledge management Add tag Permalink | Wednesday, July 18, 2001
