Mixed by Sophie Berque (Communication Manager @ Whatever) in Enterprise 2.0, Knowledge mgmt

An article originally posted on Bloc Note de Bertrand Duperrin

“…par entreprise 2.0 j’entends la définition “large” qui inclut également les pratiques managériales et la culture qui va avec, en plus des outils. Tout le monde sait ce que je pense de la définition “officielle” qui est l’”utilisation d’outils du web 2.0 au sein de l’entreprise”, qui amène à réduire l’entreprise aux outils en oubliant l’organisation, les règles, la culture, les hommes.”

In my opinion…

Interesting article of Bertrand Duperrin about the enterprise 2.0 and the fact that this concept is not only a transposition of web 2.0 tools within a company but also and particularly a question of human behaviour and culture… Does a 2.0 attitude exist?

An article originally posted on Ross Mayfield's Weblog

“Privacy and security paradigms focus on controlling the flow of information. I wonder not only if this is possible. But if its the right focus. Information precedes action.” writes Ross Mayfield

In my opinion…

“Perhaps there is an opportunity for security systems to be more effective as a whole system when it focuses on what people do with information instead of controlling its flow.” Captivating idea developped by Ross Mayfield: enterprise can’t fully secure information flow, but shouldn’t neglict to control the information usage.

How metaphors direct our efforts to manage knowledge

Mixed by Gregory Culpin (Business Development Officer @ Whatever) in Knowledge mgmt

An article originally posted on Palgrave Journals

“The choice of metaphors for knowledge has great influence about the way we think about KM. They determine what we diagnose as KM problems in organisations and what we develop as KM solutions.”

In my opinion…

Love blinds all, they say - well so do the metaphors we use everyday about KM. This insightful article by Dr. Andriessen could help you realize that your vision may be biasing your understanding of the problem as well as your solution attempts to answer it.

Retrospective on KM and the Impact of Web 2.0

An article originally posted on Wirearchy

“Knowledge management (KM) sometimes seems like the business buzzword that won’t go away. But that may be changing. As Web 2.0 penetrates and spreads through workplaces, will it render KM as it was once known obsolete … or not ?”

In my opinion…

Excellent overview of the KM concept evolution since it appears in the early 90’s. No doubt that the adoption of 2.0. practices by the organizations will widely support Knowledge Management issues. “Increasingly, changes to functionality, systems integration and IT architecture will need to be built around both individual and group cognitive and interactive styles and needs as well as the enterprise’s business process requirements”.

Is Managing Information Overload Just Self-Discipline?

Mixed by Gregory Culpin (Business Development Officer @ Whatever) in Knowledge mgmt

18 April
An article originally posted on CCS Blog

“I can understand that the average information worker feels that dealing with the overabundance and addictive nature of information (just as with food) is a matter of self-discipline. But there are a handful of people in any organization that can take action to impact the productivity and stress of hundreds (sometimes thousands) of information workers.”

In my opinion…

A lot of attention is currently being given to the impact enterprise social tools will have on KM - but their focus should also be set on better managing your information workers’ attention.

Wrap-Up of Boston Knowledge Management 2.0 Symposium

An article originally posted on KM Space

“Knowledge management should not be about some central repository for you to deposit stuff for others to use. Knowledge management should be about a repository for you. That repository just happens to be easily accessible by others in the firm.”

In my opinion…

Just so true. Knowledge Management is about managing your own knowledge first, and sharing it at no additional effort. So much easier and natural to share your space rather than copying things into a shared space.

Mixed by Gregory Culpin (Business Development Officer @ Whatever) in Knowledge mgmt

13 April
An article originally posted on Palgrave Journals

“The main contribution of this study is the compilation of literature on knowledge management and creation, along with the analysis of our own proposal for the classification of different approaches.”

In my opinion…

Three different approaches from three different parts of the world - measuring, managing and creating knowledge. One solution - United Colors of KM?
