Blog>> Knowledge Continuity at KM World 2009

Here’s the video capture of my presentation at KM World last week – thanks to Maish and a new Flip Video camera for getting it done (though I had a habit of hiding from the camera!). The video is in two parts of roughly 20 minutes each: the first part builds a case for expertise management in the context of knowledge continuity, to support the three core cognitive functions of an organisation: coordination, memory and learning (thanks to Matt for the Finian photo and the baby idea as a framing metaphor). It does this by looking at cases where those functions had broken Brought to you by: Work Literacy

Outlook Social Connector: Trust But Verify

The OSC presents useful information including: Microsoft Office Outlook Team Blog : Announcing the Outlook Social Connector …Tags: Lots of new features (see source post for more info and screen shots) – but given how badly I think the RSS engine was built in Outlook 2007 (the first “social” extension to Outlook perhaps), I’ll take a “wait and see” perspective re: user experience and performance. User experience is going to be a high bar for me. Brought to you by: Work Literacy

You Need To Launch An Internal 2.0 Adoption Council

In the last two companies I’ve worked for (including present day), I initiated something called the Social Learning Network or SLN for short. tend to agree with Nenshad Bardoliwalla and a recent blog post entitled “ Is Enterprise 2.0 The intention is to ensure the culture, systems and structure changes that are happening or about to happen in the future (see previous blog post here ) are all equally being addressed This was a group of individuals, united across the business, formed to help push the proverbial sticks forward as it relates to the shift from an all formal model of learning, to one that incorporates formal, informal and social learning.

The Age Of The Informavore

quot; He is looking at how the modification of our cognitive structures is a process that eventually blends machines and humans in a deeper way, more than any human-computer interface could possibly achieve. Hes also fascinated in an idea presented a decade ago by Danny Hillis: “In the long run, the Internet will arrive at a much richer infrastructure, in which ideas can potentially evolve outside of human minds.” Rather than edit the piece for grammar, and risk losing the spontaneity of the conversation, I present it here — for the most part — verbatim.] Brought to you by: Work Literacy
