Thinking Styles: KM would be easy if everyone thought alike!

NZKM is proud to present two sessions with innovation expert, Ed Bernacki. He believes that our style of thinking (or cognitive style) influences the degree to which we prefer to work with tacit or explicit knowledge. This preference influences the type and degree of knowledge use when doing our jobs. These differences in the way people think and use knowledge are a diversity that should be harnessed to shape more innovative organisations.

Knowledge Leak? Don't put a thumb in it, KM it!

Hello all, this is the intro to our latest blog along with a link to the full article if you are interested...

I’ve often blogged about the complexities of KM and the need to treat
KM activity in a holistic way, but what about some of the micro-KM
activities?  This blog looks at a specific issue for KM, succession
planning, and reveals the depth of complexity that our (KM) activities
encompass as we pull in complimentary concepts to solve our problems.

Dave Snowden - "Leading Through Complexity" executive seminar

Leading Through Complexity Executive Seminar

The challenge of doing more with less is ever present in both the public and private sectors. In the 1980s the big idea was process management and re-engineering, replacing the functionally oriented structures of the preceeding decades. Over the years those ideas have achieved significant results, but they no longer offer the opportunity for radical and progressive change and are in danger of becoming over extended and over complicated.

NZKM: Are you interested in implementing file classifications? Role Advertisment (Hudson)

Location: Level 7, Intergen House, 126 Lambton Quay, Wellington

NZKM invite you to an evening with Matt Moore.

"In 2003, the knowledge management group I worked in was merged with the learning team. As with all mergers, the first meeting was, er, interesting. Each group across from the other. Someone from the other side of the table spoke up: 'You do something with databases, don't you?' They didn't know what we did. We didn't know what they did. It proved to be fun, and sometimes painful, finding out."

Knowledge Brokering

This McKinsey article proposes that open innovation is transforming the way companies develop new products, with benefit realisation around exposing internal R&D to outside ideas. It describes how some organisations are applying open-source thinking to improve a range of core business processes. Organisations are adopting the practice of 'knowledge brokering', a systematic approach to seeking external ideas from people in a variety of industries, disciplines, and contexts and then of combining the resulting lessons in new ways.

Masterclass in SharePoint Collaboration & Governance with Michael Sampson

In this masterclass, collaboration and SharePoint guru Michael Sampson will take you through the steps required to make collaboration a success inside your organization.

Knowledge-based work, as we’re finally realising, is collaborative in nature. This is the primary reason we’re seeing a rush to implement collaboration applications inside the enterprise. But just installing an application does not mean that the magic we want will happen. It requires proper thinking, planning and governing to make collaboration work.
