Highlights from KM 2.0 - Certainties, Show-Stoppers and Still-to-be-determined

Readings on KM 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0Thursday, April 17, 2008, 4:00 - 6:00 p.m, Jarg, (MetraTech Building), 330 Bear Hill Road, Suite 230, Waltham. Directions.

SPEAKER:Discussion Moderated by Larry Chait and Lynda Moulton

TOPIC: On April 9th we had an audience overflow at Bentley College as we heard the points of view of practitioners/academics, consultants, analysts and thought leaders on the subject of where all the 2.0 hype is leading us, changing knowledge practices and behaviors. With the benefit of a full day of rapid-fire exposure to piles of applications and technology tools, plus good commentary on how leveraging knowledge is impacted (or not), Larry and Lynda will try to summarize the highlights, lowlights, and what we were left to contemplate at the end of the afternoon, KM 2.0 - Reality or Hype?

Commentary is already flowing on the meeting and we will use that to launch the discussion after the short summary.

If you missed the Bentley program and want a synopsis, or if you attended and want to add to the summary and discussion, please join us next Thursday. Readings on KM 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0

    Hi All

    One of my daily feeds is TechCrunch. Surprisingly Friday’s TechCrunch referenced 3 items that came up in our meeting Thursday:

    Pageflakes Acquisition Confirmed
    Holy Facebook, Batman! Let’s fight crime in Manchester, England!
    Web 3.0 Will Be About Reducing the Noise—And Twhirl Isn’t Helping

    Thursday was my second KM Forum meeting. Both have been interesting and rewarding. Thanks to Ray Sims for telling me about the Forum.

    Notes from the meeting with input from the audience, the following conclusions were reached:

    KM 2.0 Adoptions Barriers:
    - As a discipline it is has problems due to inconsistent terminology
    - Change is required to get out-of-control organizations on track but in all generations there is resistance to change
    - Tools tend to be unfamiliar or poorly understood
    - Culture shifts are required
    >>>Generational/Organizational
    >>>Educational/Personal
    - Motivations differ among parties
    - There are technology constraints
    >>>>Resources
    >>>>Missions
    >>>>Drivers
    Organizations get into ruts and lack the leadership to pull them out - requires very strong and consistent leadership
