If the idea of predicting the future currently seems rather foolish to me, it may be because I’m reading Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s “Fooled by Radomness”. I signed up for Tuesday night’s Gurteen Knowledge Café at the British Computer Society more in anticipation of good conversation than any hope of forecasting anything significant. Conrad Taylor opened [...]
Two engagement events on Tuesday: one highlighting the need for evolutionary change, the other examined the problems managers face every day. Not many people get to travel to the top of the BT tower, which might partly explain why Tuesday afternoon’s Gurteen Knowledge Café was so heavily oversubscribed. Add Dave Snowden speaking about complexity and [...]
“Connect, collaborate, innovate” has been our KM team’s tagline – I hesitate to call it a strategy – for the past four or five years and although we’ve been quick to experiment with some of the same social media tools – social networking and blogging – as IBM, we’re more than used to following in [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
I’ve often tried to share what I learn. I’ve never had a concrete reason for doing so, I merely imagine there is a vague possibility that somewhere out there, there is someone who might benefit from what I know – however dull or irrelevant it may seem to most people. Back in the 90s, fuelled [...]
