The Value of Lessons Learned
group discussion moves the knowledge each individual holds into a group or public space where it can then be integrated and made sense of by the whole team. The team then draws on the shared knowledge the next time it takes action. This diagram borrowed from my book Common Knowledge (p.36), illustrates this concept. Different In common usage the term LL means, something I learned through an experience I’ve had that will cause me to act differently in the future. We learn lessons in obvious ways, for example, we ask someone for help, to which they agree, and

Cynefin and mastery
Even though originally developed with a focus on knowledge management and communities of practice, the origins of the model, as shown above, seem to lend some validity to my understanding. Something I’ve been thinking about lately relates to the original knowledge-training axis in the early drawings. It comes up working with clients to differentiate and merge knowledge When I first discovered the Cynefin framework , I remember thinking, “Exactly.” 8221; It is one of those things that once I saw it I realized how obvious it was, at least in hindsight after someone

  • Where Knowledge Management Has Been and Where It Is Going- Part Three
    In this three part series I‘ve classified the evolving landscape of knowledge management into three categories. The first category is Leveraging Explicit Knowledge and is about capturing documented knowledge and building it into a collection - connecting people to content. The second category is about Leveraging Experiential Knowledge and it gave rise to communities of practice and reflection processes. It is primarily focused on connecting people to people. The third category is Leveraging Collective Knowledge and it is about integrating ideas from

  • Where Knowledge Management Has Been and Where It Is Going- Part One
    KM has changed in many ways since its beginning some fifteen years ago, with new tools and new strategies. But what is most interesting to me is the profound change in the way we conceptualize knowledge and the implications of that conceptualization for how we do our work as knowledge professionals. What I mean when I say, “how we conceptualize knowledge” are issues like, “Who in the organization has useful knowledge;” “How stable >is knowledge over time;” If the goal of KM is, as I believe it to be, to make use of the collective knowledge in an organization – then we have been learning how to do KM since early in the 90’s.

  • KM Principles
    A concise and very effective set of guidelines from David Snowden : Knowledge can only be volunteered it cannot be conscripted . You can’t make someone share their knowledge, because you can never measure if they have. You can measure information transfer or process compliance, but you can’t determine if a senior partner has truly passed on all their experience or knowledge of a case. We only know what we know when we need to know it. Human knowledge is deeply contextual and requires stimulus for recall.

  • Circling Around To KM
    or the dreaded "KM Architecture" (there might be one or more - but it is not an IT architecture in the traditional sense - I would consider a patterns-based argument for KM though).  Technology Technology is the tail wagging the dog when it comes to knowledge management - it always has been. Many of the failures of the KM hype of the nineties were a result of the Excellent (the post below). Why?

  • 62 KM Defintions are better than 1
    Last year, Ray Sims compiled a discriminating list of 62 KM definitions (and counting). As far as I'm concerned, the more the better—and much better than just one definition of knowledge management that tries to please everybody. Best of all, many of these definitions are very different from how I see KM. I think 62 definitions is a great start.

  • Social Media Versus Knowledge Management: Generational War?
    As Allan so aptly put it, knowledge management has always been a confounding issue for organizations seeking to better digitize, if you will, their collective knowledge. Now, of course, we see social networking as a way to organically capture an assemble that collective knowledge, both within and outside the enterprise walls. But how is the more informal, almost free-for-all social networking How do you ‘can’ a Jedi master? How do you store the collective learnings of the organization?

  • Dead KM Talking - sound bites
    Patrick Lambe had Larry Prusak and Dave Snowden on a couch and talking about the ever-popular topic of " Is KM Dead ?" 0:48 Prusak, "There will always be an interest in learning and knowledge in business." The specifics of how KM is done will come and go. It's just over 42 minutes. I think Dave Snowden did most of the talking.

  • A KM Strategy Built on the Collective Knowledge of Ecopetrol
    Two years ago I participated in a meeting to develop a knowledge management strategy for Ecopetrol, the state oil company of Columbia, South America. I want to describe it because it has stayed with me as a good example of an organization making use of its collective knowledge. The organizers invited two keynote speakers who had written books on KM, myself and Larry Prusak. It’s not a perfect example, but it’s one I think back on often. This was a meeting of the top 200 people in the organization who spent two and a half days talking among themselves about the real issues
