personal knowledge management & wisdom
PKM consists of practical methods for making sense of the increasing digital information flows around us. There is no procedural method to go from data to wisdom. And while there are different ways to think of knowledge – processed, procedural, propositional – this model I think adheres to a more basic view. On this Stephen Downes and I agree; though he thinks I adhere to the DIKW model. That said, while this is a much better model than this , I think it stays true to the original ‘filtering’ vision, where you go from data to wisdom

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

Social snake oil
Knowledge management (KM) was a most promising field until it was hijacked by software vendors who were selling IT systems for six figures. Personal Knowledge Management is one counter movement to centralized document repositories. As Mary Abraham wrote, during a recent discussion on PKM: “Perhaps PKM is growing in importance because so few organizational KM methods work for individuals.” A lot of money went into information technology systems and there was little left to help the individual make sense of it.

  • Quick Turnaround Usability Testing
    One critical “do” for our sales team is that they should discuss the method with the client and immediately set deadlines for our testing results. Have a facilitator available with the domain knowledge needed to quickly learn the application. However, we find it more efficient to leave time between sessions in order to quickly debrief and begin analyzing what we observed during the previous session (I’ll It starts with any number of scenarios: Design and development have taken too long to produce a prototype, you need to release in three weeks, and you suspect there may be design flaws.

  • Quick Turnaround Usability Testing, Part II
    Up to this point, the lack of time you had to plan and to refine your method creates a bit of a panic as you begin the testing phase. You may think that stakeholders will not have much valuable feedback to add, but we have found that they often see things that we don’t because of their knowledge of the history of the application. The beauty of the whiteboard method is that your report becomes simply a summary of what you have already written In Part I , I discussed how to make the first three steps of Quick Turnaround Usability Testing (QTUT)—Sales & Kickoff, Recruitment, and Preparation—as short and efficient as possible.

  • Prototyping with XHTML
    As with other design methods, the design work begins with sketching, which plays a particularly important role relative to prototyping. Also the compact syntax of XHTML , particularly compared to verbose wireframe annotations, combined with the fact that you are just typing in a text file, leaving it to a browser to deal with the visuals, allows you to work rapidly and efficiently. A Small Amount of Knowledge Goes a Long Way If you’re new to XHTML , you’ll discover that a small amount of knowledge goes a long way. Illustrations by Leah Buley If you design user experiences for standards-based websites and applications (i.e.

  • Bringing User Centered Design to the Agile Environment
    At the end of each step, we have something built that we could release to the market if we choose to and therefore it can assure some speed to market where waterfall methods usually fail. It released a manifesto 2 to describe its tenets and how it differs from waterfall methods. It was institutional knowledge among the other search engines that this is how searching was done and customers When the exciting opportunity to work in a post-bubble dot.com startup arose, I jumped to take it.

  • UI Pattern Documentation Review
    Patterns and pattern libraries are more convenient for developers because they solve common higher-level design problems without the need for deep knowledge of often-complex guidelines and principles documentation. Classification Map (click image to enlarge) Welie divides the patterns into three delivery methods: Web design patterns, GUI design patterns, and mobile design patterns. Introduction User interface (UI) patterns have the potential to make software development more efficient. The prospect of such efficiency gains has led to interest in user interface (UI)

  • Training Method Trends
    He recently provided me some information about what learning delivery methods were being used and particularly if they were trending up or down. So here's the graph showing all of the trending information ... Some things that jump out at me: Contrary to a lot of what is being said out there ( The Death of the Classroom ), classroom still dominates as a delivery method and is actually going up. LMS - Learning Management Steve Wexler who runs eLearningGuild research has been producing some really interesting information recently. All of the data comes from surveys to

  • 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 multiple

  • Effective knowledge sharing
    The mainstream application of knowledge management, and I would include learning management, over the past few decades has got it all wrong. More and more workers have their own sources of information and knowledge. Following on from yesterday’s post, connecting and communicating through effective conversations , I’d like to quote again from Dave Pollard’s experience with knowledge management: We have over-managed information because it’s easy and we’re still enamoured with information technology. However, the ubiquitous information surround

  • Q-tools: An approach for discovery and knowledge work
    This would seem to be an ideal method for organizing information, and Google’s business success is a testament to this. You can think of a question as a tool that you can use to increase your knowledge or reduce uncertainty. In fact, a question may be the most basic tool for gaining knowledge and working with information. What is information design? And in a world where, slowly but surely, everything is being translated into, and expressed as, information, how do you begin to think about organizing the massive amounts of information we’re generating every day?
