The Latest from Library Clips

My last post was a review of a paper by Patrick Lambe , and in this post I review yet another paper on the same topic. The point of this paper, called “Knowledge and Tragedy: or why we shouldn’t share knowledge” , is that sharing, even Just-in-Time sharing is not enough or a complete KM infrastructure, it’s the gap between knowing and acting that is often missing. We often read about the same thing related to Lesson Learned…which need

My last couple of posts have been about how important context is in KM. Without connecting to people, conversing and re-contextualising we are not really doing KM. In my mind knowledge doesn’t come in packets off a shelf; it’s a dance. My last posts are:

It’s absolutely paramount that KM sheds its skin of codifying and storing in a database…this is just information management. Sure some people may share some informal documents about experience and insight (considering low recall, and lack of motivation/engagement), but it’s still just information management…maybe the management of informal documents. We share ‘information’, whereas ‘knowledge’ may be something

Social search is resurfacing as a hot topic of late , due to how effective Twitter has become in helping you find information, and how it is close to how we source information in the offline world (via our network). Twitter is being differentiated by being called a “ Help Engine “. I think it’s getting us closer to the KM productivity (sense-making) aim that
This is a follow-up to my Community Lessons post, and Community paradox post. Top-Down community creation We have not officially released communities at work, but we have over 50, as it’s spreading by word of mouth (plus all this stuff is in vogue now). I’m I’m
At work one of our teams is using a community space in order to use a forum to crowdsource ideas for continuous improvement. We got 400 posts in 2 weeks. Our forum is basic so we don’t have the features that come with crowdsource designed tools like IdeaJam , Brightidea (used by Cisco ), Salesforce have their own site, IdeaScale , UserVoice , Suggestion Box , CrowdSound (widget), Fevote
A while back I blogged about the possibility of networks and blogospheres cutting into the need for communities. I believe this is happening a great deal, as now people may have a more purposeful or ideal way of achieving their needs that they were once achieving by being in a community. NOTE: I want to stress in this post I’m referring to *pure* CoPs, ie.
In a past post I elaborated on social networks like Twitter as being a Help engine; an alternative to a search engine in some cases in finding answers and making decisions. I also paralleled this concept to the aims of KM, productivity, performance, sense-making, decision-making, etc: “I think it’s getting us closer to the KM productivity (sense-making) aim that knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer has always aspired to, which is:

Blarneycrone's post, " As large as life and twice as cheerful ," about the NACD Digital Directorship session is great journalism. Factual, captures affect, and, thank you, Liz Barron, is humorous...and and the pictures are fantastic.

I was just having a little think about Facebook’s news yesterday that it won’t be putting a CEOP panic button on all of its pages. Instead Facebook says it will have links to organisations including the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) centre on its reporting pages. Although I’m a huge supporter of CEOP’s marvellous work, I have to say I can see Facebook’s point. Grooming activity is not the only reason why people may want to report a post – think of bullying, copyright, hate crime, terrorist activity, inappropriate language or imagery – there are a multitude of reasons

Managing staff who participate in social networks. This list also includes policies called; Staff blogging policies, enterprise social network guidelines, Employee Blogging Policies, Staff engagement in online communities, and so on. I’ve done a few press (radio, print) interviews this week re: Telstra so I thought I should have another look at how Enterprise, Government, Corporates, Not for Profits  are handling the fact that their staff are members of social networks too.
