How does an intranet support knowledge management?

By ⋅ June 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Most organisations seem to have adopted intranets for communication and collaboration, but how should an organisation’s intranet support its knowledge management activities? From communities of practice to blogging and ultimately internal social networking, it’s something I’ve grappled with over the past eight years – trying, failing and hopefully learning at each stage of development. It’s a [...]

Ark Group: social software masterclass

By ⋅ August 20, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Spending too long inside one organisation can distort your view of reality. I like to keep my feet on the ground by meeting people from other organisations and listening to them talk about their intranets and attitudes to social media. If nothing else, listening to people talk about their KM experiences at events like Gurteen [...]

Ideas for Enterprise 2.0

By ⋅ July 1, 2008 ⋅ One comment

I’ve been thinking of the need for RSS in the organisation recently. It hasn’t been pressing, but now we have a feed on the homepage, it would be nice to control and customise it. The other idea I picked up at KCUK 2008 last week was Enterprise bookmark sharing – just upload from the browser [...]

Knowledge and Content 2008 – Day Two

By ⋅ June 27, 2008 ⋅ One comment

As Ron Donaldson of Natural England pointed out yesterday, I am opening for him this afternoon. Don’t laugh, I saw Coldplay open for U2 several years ago and now they’re the biggest band in Britain (actually, I don’t know this for a fact…). Not that I am implying I am dull, wet and boring you [...]

Knowledge And Content 2008 – Day One

By ⋅ June 26, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Over to Earls Court this morning for Day One of Ark Group‘s Knowledge And Content 2008, arriving shortly after the start of the panel discussion on what KM means in 2008. Noted that it still means different things to different people, something to bear in mind within different organisations. That eternal question of knowing what [...]

"A bit more voice, pal..!"

By ⋅ June 6, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

I received the feedback from the “Enterprise 2.0: The Evolution of Collaboration in Your Business” conference I spoke at in April. Obviously I need to work on the voice a bit because I “spoke quietly” – the in situ: director won’t be impressed..! I will have to do a proper vocal warm-up in future. I [...]

Enterprise 2.0: "The Evolution of Collaboration in Your Business" – Day 2

By ⋅ April 3, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

The LawThe second day of the conference began with Brodies IT head Damien Behan talking about why he has resisted many attempts to adopt social media technology. My ears pricked up at one point he made about how “most viruses come through websites, not e-mail”. Maybe the webmail blockers have it all wrong. The mood [...]

Enterprise 2.0: "The Evolution of Collaboration in Your Business" – Day 1

By ⋅ April 2, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

PanelI arrived midway through a panel discussion entitled “What Is Web 2.0?” after catching a later train than I’d intended. The debate rambled a little and would have benefited from more structure, perhaps by seeking questions from the audience in advance. I started to think I would have liked to have seen the group picking [...]
