Last night we held the evening as a conversation café where we had three rounds of conversation after a fifteen minute introduction by our speaker. People rotated through tables with one person remaining at each table throughout to act as a host and share what the people in the earlier rounds had to say. After thirty minutes everyone gathered together in a bigger conversation to ask other questions and share a bit about what their tables spoke about.

It was a great evening of learning from an expert as well as my neighbours. It was part of a monthly series of discussion nights I organize called Green Drinks.

These are some of the words I heard at a Christmas tree stand in the upper east side of Manhattan last week. The simple stand is a true symbol of knowledge sharing in this NY neighbourhood.
For eleven months of the year, people come and go on this urban block but rarely have time to stop and chat. The stand appears Thanksgiving weekend and lasts until Christmas Eve. During the month, thousands of locals stop in at the stand to talk about politics, the economy, religion and their lives. They bring food, drink and other snacks as gifts to the sellers who live

Obama is no doubt brilliant but what I find so interesting is his use of many tools and tactics we work with in the field of Knowledge Management.
Firstly, his use of Web 2.0 - online social software and collaboration tools - created huge networks of supporters, helped raise millions of dollars and shared knowledge to influence a victory for America’s top position. Storytelling is something I have blogged about It’s a week after the US elections and I am still impressed by the speech given by Obama on November 5th as well as the campaign that surpassed anyone’s imagination.

They provide an example and hopefully a stimulation to others in the organization that a COP is a useful why to share and exploit knowledge. This is not so much to provide for a "centrally-planned" state in a KM initiative as it is to demonstrate the strength of a knowledge democracy. Posted by Joel James | November 6, 2006 4:29 PM

wanted to share some of them, and find out what you use and how. Patrick Lambe and the folks at Straitsknowledge created a deck of cards to introduce people to knowledge management and knowledge sharing methods. Tags: creativity facilitation knowledge sharing visual thinkin I love things you can touch and play with when facilitating face to face. This is probably why I was so attracted to the “drawing on walls” involved in graphic facilitation , kinesthetic modeling and just plain PLAY as a way to work together.

I’m long-winded on the topic of new skills for knowledge workers and learning professionals, even if I don’t quite understand what a learning professional is. For this post, community is defined as a group of people with bounded membership who have some shared, congruent interest and interact with each other over time. Reflective practice has long been familiar to learning theorists , but It has become clear. Here is part 3.

This afternoon I’m spending a half hour on a Skype video conversation to share a bit of how I use social media. The second seminal experience was taking part in George Por’s “Knowledge Ecology University” or KEU as we called it, and the relationship forming event of the KE Fair . Heaven because we can access knowledge and relationship like never before. I figured it would be good to exercise my memory a bit and unearth some of the key stories that led me to to my social media use today, and perhaps surface some of my patterns.
