SPEAKER: Carl Frappaolo, Principal and co-founder, Information Architected
TOPIC: Carl is contemplating our future in the KM community with this provocative opening for our March meeting
KM was the solution du jour of the business and IT world circa 1995. That’s 15 years ago – a millennium in cyber-years. Much has changed. Some even state that KM is dead. One analyst recently stated that KM was not even possible until now (it wasn’t me.) I am not one of those, but admit that the formal business practice of KM has morphed.
Over the past decade, KM has given birth to many children. These include Enterprise 2.0, Web 2.0, Social Computing, Social Networking and emergent software. Each has its own following and impact on the workplace. So one must ask, “Has the torch been passed to a new generation?” Are the methodologies and efforts of yesterday’s knowledge managers obsolete? Are efforts better spent focused on these current practices? For the record – I say “no,” KM is more necessary than ever. I will explain “why.“
