The critical function of KM

This week’s blog is a conversation with Peter Evans (K3-Cubed Director) and comes from an ongoing dialogue on the critical functions of KM. Pete puts the case forward for knowledge usage…

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.

Free KM report - The University of Edinburgh Knowledge Management Observatory™ Global 2011 Survey

Hello all,

We have been engaging with companies in Asia Pacific, but it is not often that we get the opportunity to interact with KMers from New Zealand.

The 2011 Global survey takes 25-30 mins to complete and is seen as a challenging and rewarding exercise -  All participants will receive a pre-publication copy of the full findings.

This may be controversial, but we would really like to hear your opinions.  We are based in Edinburgh and it is not often that we get the chance to engage with KMers in New Zealand --- it would be good to be in touch!

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.

KM Leaving staff

In the current climate of redundancies, "Public Service reorganisation" etc the chances for institutional and organisational knowledge to walk out the door are largely increased. I'd like to exchange ideas (off line) with anyone/agency who is working with or has experience of KM ideas, tactics, concepts to preserve the knowledge of staff leaving for their agency, particularly tacit knowledge.

Cheers

Douglas
