Time For Tiedosta: To Know About Knowledge
In the late 1999 and into early 2000 I was the CTO for a startup. The product was ahead of its time (“can you put it in an email?” it the comment from a VC that still haunts me to this day — as if) and it was a platform play. Inconsequential to this post. […]
Disrupting Today’s Workplace – Part One
I laugh every time I write the title “future of work”, I mean, how presumptuous can one document / post / presentation be to outline the entire future of work. I’m going with “disruption of work” for this one. Oh well, titles aside, it’s a topic that I’m extremely interested in, and have been looking […]
Can technology improve business innovation?
Few would argue that software has crawled into virtually every nook and cranny of modern life, leading to more than a few prognostigators to claim that it’s now eating the world. As it matures, the growth sectors of the software industry have long moved away from broad horizontal functions like productivity or document management and […]
A Social Knowledge Framework
Following up, and wrapping up actually, on the short series I have been publishing on social media as an interim (but essential) step towards collective knowledge I’d like to cover a draft version of the framework I see for social knowledge. You hopefully have been keeping up, reading all about the evolution to social knowledge, the definition […]
What is Social Knowledge?
Expanding on the issue of social knowledge I started last time, thanks to my friends at Moxie and my sponsored research model, I want to take it one step further. We explored last time what is the path to social knowledge and how today’s shifting paradigm of knowledge management makes it possible. We talked about how the upsurge […]
The Story of Social Knowledge
I know I have been writing a lot about Knowledge Management lately, but this is a very exciting time and the paradigms are shifting as I have mentioned. The old model of creating and storing knowledge to eventually using it (maybe) is disappearing in favor of knowledge generated and maintained by users and communities. I covered a […]
Social media and utility companies
I’m moderating a panel discussion on social media and utilities at next week’s SAP for Utilities event in Copenhagen. My fellow panelists will include two representatives from utility companies, and one from SAP. This is not new ground for me, I have given the closing keynotes at the SAP for Utilities in San Antonio in […]
May I Recruit Your Help in a Knowledge Management Research Project?
Late in 2011 I conducted my first market research project on Knowledge Management. I wanted to get an idea of what was going on in the world, what projects you (royal you, not you personally) were working on, what projects you were going to invest money in, and (more than anything) what was affecting your […]
Social business? Déjà’ vu all over again
IBM is transitioning. It’s got a $1 billion business with a software product called Lotus Notes but it is consciously trying to reposition it and other products around a social business mantra. To illustrate, one of the IBM communications executives pointed out to me that the “Lotusphere” part of the IBM Connect show logo is […]
The Changing World of Knowledge, Let’s Talk About It
Knowledge Management never worked. In the past 25+ years I must have tried a dozen or more different models of knowledge management and collaboration . In spite of the relative success of most of them – I will claim to have not succeeded 100% of the time by my standards, even if the client got […]
