Gates Tips Hat to RSS.
From Mary Jo Foley's M
icrosoft Watch:
Gates also extolled the productivity benefits that can be derived
from user-empowering technologies such as blogging, RSS, collaboration
software and online communities that are integrated into Web sites.
Gates called blogging and the RSS Web content syndication service a
"very interesting phenomenon." He suggested that by using RSS as
notification system, customers can "get the information you want when
you want it."

Deninghttp://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~kimble/teaching
/students/Anna_Dening/Anna_Dening.htmlAbstract by
Author:
Knowledge management has come to the forefront of
the business world surrounded by an air of publicity and a degree of
scepticism. However in recent years, this label has been removed, and
managers and employees are now discovering the real value of knowledge
and knowledge management to their organisations. Globalisation and the
spread of multinational organisations are demanding the use of cross
cultural management and working practices across several language
groups. This leads to the question of whether knowledge management
should be practiced in the same way across nations.
This
project aims to investigate, by the use of a conversational study and
questionnaire, whether differences exist in the opinions of knowledge
management across two specific language groups: French and English.
The hypothesis that language affects thought is discussed with a view
to linking the language spoken to differences in opinions held by an
individual. The first outcome of the study was that the hypothesis
'language affects thought' was substantiated. Secondly, the hypothesis
that differences exist in the opinions of French and English speakers
in the field of knowledge management was unable to be confirmed as
correct. A copy of the full report can be found
here.

Knowledge Management: A Guide To
Resources On the Internet
06/26/2004 06:07 AMKnowledge Management: A Guide To Resources On the Internet by
Michael M. Smithhttp://snipurl.com/5i2zKnowledge Management (KM) is one of many important topics being
addressed by companies in today’s complex business environment. KM
has spawned a new legion of consultants, it has provided a new
direction for many software companies, and it has given purpose to
many technologies that previously appeared to be only expensive
executive toys. However, KM is nothing new. It is a synthesis of many
ideas which when brought together create an exciting new paradigm of
research. KM is multidisciplinary and draws from communications
theory, organizational dynamics, and information organization. KM
incorporates the concepts of Senge’s Learning Organization, builds
on the foundation of intellectual capital management, and draws from
business intelligence practices.
The underlying goal of KM
is to use the knowledge embedded in the organization to maximize the
effectiveness and competitiveness of the concern. This goal appears
much too simple to have spawned such a massive movement. However, the
current business environment requires new practices to accomplish this
fundamental goal.
There are many excellent resources on the
Internet addressing the many aspects of KM. The resources listed below
offer a wide variety of information on KM provided by
academic/research organizations, information portals, consultants, and
governmental and nonprofit organizations. This has been added to

Press Release - NewsGator Integrates
with MySmartChannels to Provide Powerful
Knowledge Management Solution within
Microsoft Outlook
Press Release - NewsGator Integrates
with MySmartChannels to Provide Powerful
Knowledge Management Solution within
Microsoft Outlook
10/28/2003 11:09 PMNewsGator, the Premier News Aggregator for Microsoft Outlook,
and the MySmartChannels Enterprise Weblogging Server Give Users
Seamless Access to Important Business Information
DENVER, Colo. -- Sept. 3, 2003 -- NewsGator Technologies and MyST
Technology Partners announced a partnership today to provide users
with access to MySmartChannels directly from NewsGator, a news
aggregator that runs in Microsoft Outlook. MySmartChannels is a
business weblogging platform that allows anyone to securely publish
information, and invite colleagues and business partners to subscribe
to and collaborate on it. NewsGator 1.3 enables users to subscribe to
MySmartChannels and other RSS-based syndicated news feeds and have
important business information sent directly into their Outlook and
Exchange server folders. These tools, used together, are a powerful
combination because they allow teams to publish and subscribe to
rapidly changing information with the tools they already use.
The first result of this partnership is the delivery of a NewsGator
plug-in for publishing content to MySmartChannels, available today
from http://www.newsgator.com/plugi
ns. This plug-in allows users to securely post content to specific
channels directly from Outlook, eliminating the need to use a separate
publishing tool. "Making it easy for workers to contribute content is
an important factor in maximizing the benefits of an enterprise
weblogging platform like MySmartChannels," said F. Andy Seidl,
co-founder of MyST Technology Partners. "Integration with NewsGator
makes both knowledge contribution and consumption from within Outlook
literally as easy as using e-mail - easier, actually, since there's no
spam." Using MySmartChannels with NewsGator, enterprise users are able
to subscribe to channels that are relevant to their work objectives,
increasing awareness of important information and increasing
productivity.
RSS (Rich Site Summary) News Syndication is an emerging method of
staying abreast with rapidly changing information, and these feeds can
be generated in many forms by MySmartChannels. When combined with
NewsGator to bring these feeds into Outlook, a uniquely powerful
solution emerges. "NewsGator and MySmartChannels is a revelation,"
said William Stow, chairman of Tsunamin Corporation. "For the first
time in my career, I am able to see into the activities and news from
all parts of the company.
MySmartChannels provides the information channels for each company
department, team or individual to post their activities and
discussions, and NewsGator provides the up-to-the minute news feed in
my Microsoft Outlook folders."
NewsGator users can monitor secure feeds from MySmartChannels, in
addition to the ever-growing number of information sources supporting
RSS syndication. News can be sorted, organized, grouped, or searched
in countless ways, and features like offline reading make this
information readily accessible at any time. NewsGator 1.3 works with
Microsoft Outlook 2000 or later, and is available immediately from http://www.newsgator.com. Pricing
is $29 (U.S.) per copy, with quantity discounts available. Free
MySmartChannels accounts are available at http://myst-technology.com. For
information about dedicated hosted services, OEM licensing, or
behind-the-firewall deployment, contact sales@myst-technology.com.

DAVE SNOWDEN
ON KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
DAVE SNOWDEN
ON KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
05/11/2004 12:13 PM

One of my peers in the
badly-named discipline of Knowledge
Management is IBM's complexity guru, Dave Snowden. Last year
Dave wrote a paper entitled Managi
ng for Serendipity,
which I really enjoyed. Dave appears to share my disdain for the
context-free capture and 'codification' of people's business knowledge
in massive 'knowledge bases' just in case someone else might be able
to
benefit from that knowledge sometime in the future (assuming they can
find it).
Dave's paper explains how senseless this expensive exercise is. I have
outlined in my Personal
Knowledge Management articles why I think Knowledge Management
energies would be much more effectively spent (1) developing social networking applications and
competencies, and (2) developing personal content management applications and
competencies, focused on the specific, individual needs of the
organization's front-line knowledge workers.
In the above-mentioned article, Dave asks the question: If
capturing 'best practices' and similar context-deficient knowledge in
central repositories is, except in limited cases*, ill-advised, what
if
anything should organizations
be collecting in centralized 'knowledge bases' and what
centrally-coordinated programs should be used to encourage learning
and
knowledge transfer? He suggests three possibilities:
- Narrative Databases:
Unfiltered repositories in which people can record stories about
events
that they learned from personally. Dave warns against imposing
interpretations and rigid taxonomy on such stories, stressing the
importance of serendipitous reading of them. He also sees these as a
significant opportunity for recently retired employees to contribute
to
others' learning. Dave offers a highly-regarded course<
/a> in the craft of story-telling.
- Social Network Stimulation:
Databases, tools and programs that encourage and enable employees to
improve the breadth, depth and effectiveness of their personal
networks. In a recent article in Sloan Management Review, Rob Cross,
Tom Davenport and Susan Cantrell entitled The Social Side of High Performance
(available only by subscription) the authors show that effective
development and use of social networks correlates more than anything
else with high performance rating of knowledge workers.
- Disruptive Pattern Breaking:
Providing fresh thinking, ideas from unusual sources, and challenges
to
accepted ideas and procedures are healthy in any organization. By
broadening employees' exposure to such material, organizations can
stimulate innovation and provide new perspectives that can sharpen
critical skills and hence improve work effectiveness and
decision-making.
Although many people find Dave's writing dense, even intimidating, I
find his arguments to be well-supported, pragmatic and eminently
practicable. These three initiatives, in tandem with programs to
develop social networking and personal content management applications
and competencies, offer the promise of finally realizing the
'Knowledge
Advantage' that those of us in KM have been striving for, for a
decade.
* Dave acknowledges the value of 'best practices' in
internet payment systems and safety procedures in a nuclear power
plant, for example.

International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer
Knowledge Management (P2PKM)
International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer
Knowledge Management (P2PKM)
06/04/2004 05:53 AMInternational Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Management
(P2PKM)http://www.p2pkm.org/Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing has received significant attention from
the side of research labs and academia, largely due to the popularity
of commercialized P2P file sharing applications such as Napster,
Morpheus and KaZaa. In the P2P model, peers exchange data and/or
services in completely decentralized distributed manner. Peers are
autonomous, and are free to choose what other peers to interact with,
and, in this point-to-point interaction, peers possess equal
functional capabilities.
On the other hand, Knowledge
Management (KM) is increasingly viewed as a core capacity in order to
compete in the modern social and economic environment. Researchers and
practitioners agree that those intellectual assets that are embedded
in working practices, social relationships, and technological
artefacts constitute the only source of value that can sustain long
term differentiation, quality of services, innovation, and
adaptability. Nonetheless, even due to a debatable success of current
KM implementations, still unclear is how such matter should be managed
in highly complex, distributed, and heterogeneous settings.
In the last couple of years, P2P and KM have followed different but
converging paths. In fact, P2P technologies have left their initial
“computational”, “anarchoyd”, and spontaneous fashion to
embrace more service level domains and business settings. On the other
hand, KM is questioning its centralized assumption based on the
implicit belief that knowledge is managed successfully when it can be
standardized and controlled. In this sense, it seems that while P2P is
looking for value added domains to better exploit its technological
potential, KM is looking for a technological paradigm more able to fit
an emerging distributed organization of knowledge.
The
convergence of P2P and KM creates new challenges for researchers to
address: new methodologies to model, design, and deploy distributed KM
solutions; theories and algorithms to represent the social and
semantic dimensions of a knowledge network; mechanisms to cope with
the dynamic autonomous nature of P2P and to provide means to support
emergent network self-organization.

Underwayhttp://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/spring_2004_ar
chivist.htmlJust when you think you've got the hang of
preserving the delicate papers of historic documents, along comes
electronic parchment -- as fragile as the real thing because rapidly
changing technologies can render its content as unreadable as crumbing
paper records. What's a government archive to do with the electronic
records of, say, active military folks who will need documentation in
30 years to claim veterans' benefits or Food & Drug Administration
records that document adverse reactions to drugs -- long after today's
hardware and software are replaced by unimaginable innovations? The
U.S. National Archives & Records Administration is in the midst of a
plan to archive millions -- billions -- of electronic government
documents "so that anyone, anywhere, anytime, far into the future, can
access these records with the technology in use then," says outgoing
NARA director John W. Carlin. In addition to making a great leap
forward in government archiving, he predicts the new products and
processes will benefit other archivists -- including colleges and
universities, libraries and archives, small businesses and large
corporations. The first installment of an operational ERA is scheduled
to be up and running in 2007.
