KM is not just information delivery, and Just-in-Time is not enough
The point of this paper, called “Knowledge and Tragedy: or why we shouldn’t share knowledge” , is that sharing, even Just-in-Time sharing is not enough or a complete KM infrastructure, it’s the gap between knowing and acting that is often missing.
describing ideal information management, rather than knowledge management…see my post on informal IM vs KM for more on this.
My last post was a review of a paper by Patrick Lambe , and in this post I review yet another paper on the same topic.
We often read about the same thing related to

A framework for social learning in the enterprise
Corporations that understand the value of knowledge sharing, teamwork, informal learning and joint problem solving are investing heavily in collaboration technology and are reaping the early rewards.
- Charles Jennings explains why we need to move away from a focus on knowledge transfer and acquisition, an approach rooted in Plato’s academy:
It is a world where the My colleague Harold Jarche often says … “work is learning, and learning is work”. And And my FF blog colleague Rob Patterson is unpacking our current understanding of what a “job”

Wrapup: How people use blogging to learn
But I was quickly called on that, and reminded that blogging really is a career tool - it’s probably one of those “knowledge worker skills” that people working with information should really become proficient.
By reflecting and writing on different topics, as well as expanding your professional network, new ways to use your current skills start opening up.
I promised to write a summary of the responses I received to this post on blogging as reflective practice, so here it is (better late than never!).
Not only did I write about blogging as

Are Knowledge Workers the New "Blue Collar" Workers?
I'm currently reading Matthew Gardner's Shop Class as Soul Craft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work, and it's raising some interesting questions about "knowledge work" and where we may be going with the information economy. (For Although the primary goal is to get us to think about the trades in a different way, in doing so Gardner makes us consider the possibility that many forms of "knowledge work" are in fact glorified factory work, performed in cubicles rather than on the shop floor. For a decent summary of some of Gardner's main points, check out his NYT Magazine article, The Case for Working with Your Hands ).

Skills for Learning Professionals…Part 2
After posting my 4 Meta Skills for Learning Professionals in response to Tony’s July “Big Question,” he commented:
I like your meta skills, but …
was hoping that you would provide insight into the core skills and knowledge around communities and networks that learning professionals should have?
It is hard to let some Tony Karrer disappointment persist. Nancy - I was super excited when I saw that you had posted on the topic.

How Knowledge Workers Use the Web
account is this one on how knowledge workers use the web (PDF). The authors interviewed 24 knowledge workers from a variety of disciplines to observe how they used the web. There’s much more to dig into here, but these factoids make me wonder if things have changed since 2002 for many knowledge workers. This has been a busy week and I’m trying to catch up with my posting and reading, especially on work literacy topics. One of the articles that’s been hanging out in my del.icio.us

Deeper Skills for Learning Professionals…Part 4
This series on Skills for Learning Professionals and Knowledge Workers ( Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 ) have spiked the old hit-meeter and shown up on Tweets all week. Today Michele Martin posted an important amplification to the “Four Meta Skills” from Part 1 . In it she says that scanning, filtering, connecting and sense-making are critical skills. It is fascinating to see what strikes a cord. There have been many thoughtful and insightful comments and the other blog posts responding to Tony K’s Big Question have been fabulous. (I

Network Skills
I personally believe that one of the areas where learning professionals need the most help is how communities and networks impact learning and building individual and facilitation skills around these: Knowing how to individually leverage Network Skills and Communities to help with work and learning tasks Community and Network Facilitation Skills to help others learn and work using networks and communities In my post Networks and Learning Communities , I looked a bit at this topic. But, I by no means consider myself an expert and find that I spend quite a

Raising the Bar on Online Event Practices
I’d like to re-frame and talk about the skills we should be cultivating and the technology we MUST demand. Plus, I guess this is a natural follow on to this week’s rants on Skills for Learning Professionals and Knowledge Workers ( Part 1 , part 2 , part 3 ).
Alan also mentioned Jonathan Finkelstein’s Learning in Real Time (book and web site) and Jon’s mad skills . Alan Levine wrote a deliciously provocative post on last month that I’ve been meaning to comment upon, Five Ways to Run a Deadly Online Seminar . When I read it, my

Work Skills Keeping Up?
In New Work and New Work Skills , I discuss the fact that most of us have not participated in formal learning since college on foundational knowledge work skills - especially metacognitive skills. Our last formal learning used card catalogs, microfiche readers, Xerox machines, libraries, etc. Most of us have strong skills in some areas and are much weaker in others simply due to the fact that we acquire our skills in completely ad hoc ways. When were you taught: how to take take notes on a laptop during a meeting, how to filter a flood of new content, how to reach out via networks to find expertise, how to leverage the wisdom of crowds? Tilde Effect What epitomizes the situation for me is the Google ~ operator.

The New Skills
I’ve been following the work literacy blog trying to get an idea of what other people think are the required skills for professionals in today’s workplace. However, the more I learn about PLN/PLE, the less “new� the skill seems.
I have run surveys where I ask people to rate their knowledge work skills. I just saw a post by Kimberly McCollum, The networked nature of information , where she raises an interesting question.
My main research interest has been the process of developing and cultivating a personal learning network/environment and I’ve been
