I found you from a twitter link from "weknowmore".<br /><br />I'm not a pro in KM, but it occurs to me that the crux of the matter is the "practice" community. Knowledge articulates into a structure when it is organized by the problem solver to focus on solving a proximate problem.<br /><br />It's the multiplicity,time constrained and highly incented nature of real life problem solving that is the catalyst for taking from ongoing streams of knowledge to "make sense of it."<br /><br />My interest is high school education. It seems that K -12 education could turn out to be a rich field for KM practice. <br /><br />My guess is that is already probably being done, but it hasn't yet gotten on my radar.Coordinator of the Printernet Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08225553436567452557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338193582835363186.post-4044265381343538882009-07-07T02:47:00.148+00:002009-07-07T02:47:00.148+00:00Good video interview about the transition of KM fr...Good video interview about the transition of KM from management fad to an integral part of Social Computing (aka Social Media).<br /><br />Video is a year old, but still timely - <br /><br />Snowden is particularly insightful re: forces at work moving from highly structured, pre-codified taxonomies to the more 'organic aspects of knowledge that model human interaction.'<br /><br />KM has long struggled as a practice area, for many reasons outlined in the interview - <br /><br />But I agree with Prusak & Snowden, the core concepts remain important, and are showing up frequently in interactions where collaboration and business problems require it.<br /><br />In short, KM practices are not dead, but the space is transforming to something broader and more dynamic. It will serve processes that are more integral to collaborative practices in a knowledge economy, what Snowden calls 'a flex period of social and natural science' or 'renaissance'.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing this out of the archives. <br /><br />Important perspectives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
