How does an intranet support knowledge management?
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 [...]
Gurteen Knowledge Café: Imagining the future of knowledge technologies
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 [...]
Human-Machine Symbiosis for Data Interpretation – Dave Snowden
Off to University College London yesterday afternoon to see Dave Snowden’s presentation for The International Society for Knowledge Organisation. This amounted to Dave’s Introduction to Complexity lecture, which I’ve now seen three times in the last six months, so perhaps it’s time to delve a bit deeper into the material. Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable [...]
Ticking the KPI boxes for all the wrong reasons
Reading Tony Quinlan’s observation about how organisations need diversity while managers actively seek to stifle it, I thought perhaps we should start collecting management sins. There are similar problems with the setting of conflicting KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). Some managers who are rewarded for reusing existing ideas which save effort, a typical organisational approach aimed [...]
Cognitive Edge accreditation – Day 3
It seemed lighter when I woke up this morning. And the birds were singing, which I didn’t notice yesterday until I was ready to leave. I am contemplating relaxing for longer while waiting for my alarm when a sickening feeling hits me. I reach for my phone, which I’ve left plugged in and charging all [...]
Cognitive Edge accreditation – Day 2
Day two and I am on schedule, catching the 6:42am train and settling down with an episode of “Cold Case”. The journey is trouble-free and I collect a coffee en route to the London Wetlands Centre which looks cheerier under blue skies. Social Network Stimulation The morning session begins with some commentary on natural numbers [...]
Cognitive Edge accreditation – Day 1
Day one of the accreditation course dawns overcast but not cold. Up at 5:00am, I find my 6:45am train actually leaves at 6:42am, so I miss it despite running all the way to the station – which is noticeably further to run now we’ve moved house. I lament not having organised everything the night before [...]
Tales from the riverbank
Each morning during the first half of this week I’ll be getting up at 5:00am, catching an early train to London followed by the tube to Hammersmith. Twenty years ago there were three things to travel to Hammersmith for: Hammersmith Palais (Echo and the Bunnymen ’84, The Alarm ’84, ’85) Hammersmith Odeon (The Alarm ’85, [...]
Knowledge Cafe: Could you stop using e-mail?
Last night I went along to the first London Gurteen Knowledge Cafe for some time. I enjoy meeting up with my peers in the Knowledge Management field and learning about what they’re doing, as well as talking about my own work. I was particularly interested in this session because I wanted to hear Luis Suarez [...]
