"En cette rentrée, une interrogation de fond émerge des yoyos économiques et politiques européens et des révolutions arabes aussi improbables que bien réelles. Cette interrogation peut se formuler de la manière suivante : la problématique de l’accès au savoir est totalement bouleversée. 95% de l’information est disponible en accès libre. Elle est disponible de partout et en temps réel. Les outils et la technologie la rendent parfaitement mobile. La vitesse d’échange ne laisse plus forcément le temps du recul et de l’assimilation. La difficulté n’est plus l’obtention de l’information, mais le discernement de l’information utile, voire de l’information vraie."

  • Le temps de l’information ne correspond plus, comme pendant des millénaires, au temps de la connaissance. Car le temps de la connaissance, immédiatement dépendant du fonctionnement de l’être humain et de sa « nature », ne s’est nullement accéléré
  • Mais les conséquences de la distorsion avec la connaissance individuelle et collective lui ont totalement échappé, alors qu’elle impacte aujourd’hui le cœur de l’activité

"It has become accepted wisdom that weak ties — your acquaintances, distant colleagues — can provide more novel information than close ties. But new research by Marshall Van Alstyne, associate professor at Boston University and a visiting professor at MIT, suggests that in some cases strong ties are better."

  • “You can think of knowledge markets as crowdsourcing, but our particular twist on it is the economic optimization of crowdsourcing, applying economic theory to these social science properties,” he says. “How can we get better answers, get higher rates of contribution? How can we do better resource allocation? Can we value the information shared? Can we cause economic growth inside an information economy? Those are our areas.”
  • Van Alstyne explains how some of his new research challenges the existing theory about the value of strong ties versus weak ties, and why we should beware of “interrupt-driven communication.”

"Les pratiques individuelles et sociétales (usage massif de Facebook, textos, smartphones, etc.) modifient nécessairement les pratiques en entreprise et il est légitime que les dirigeants s’interrogent à propos de l’utilisation de réseaux sociaux électroniques comme Facebook ou Twitter. Ces réseaux sociaux représentent un moyen très efficace de mobiliser les savoirs des individus. Danone a, par exemple, mis en place une stratégie de Knowledge Management fondée uniquement sur ces réseaux. Mais il faut « organiser » et « outiller » ces réseaux en nommant un coordinateur sinon on obtient une véritable « auberge espagnole »…"

  • il y a dix ans, les dirigeants d’entreprise avaient tendance à confondre Knowledge Management et Lotus Notes. Aujourd’hui ils confondent réseaux sociaux et Facebook par méconnaissance de ce qui différencie information et connaissance.
  • La connaissance est principalement générée par la pratique, l’action, l’expérience quotidienne. Elle est fondée sur un processus d’apprentissage et d’oubli de cet apprentissage. L’information, elle, provient d’un décodage et d’une organisation de faits, de données brutes et objectives.

"The Dawn of Emergent Collaboration” for MIT Sloan Management Review in 2006, and went on to expand on those ideas in our magazine and in the book Enterprise 2.0 (Harvard Business Publishing, 2009).

In a new Q&A with David Kiron, executive editor of Innovation Hubs at MIT SMR, McAfee looks back at the past six years and what he’s learned about the triggers that generate CEO interest in social networking, what he misread and why the idea of controlling information flows is becoming obsolete.

  • I have always tried hard not to use the term “social,” not because it’s inaccurate, but because it has primarily negative connotations, especially for a really hard-headed, pragmatic manager in a business, decision-maker in a business,

Here is a new report on 2011 enterprise search trends from Forrester, Enterprise Search: Six Key Trends to Watch by Leslie Owens with Stephen Powers and Anjali Yakkundi. The report indicates that despite the fact that only 10% of IT leaders will upgrade or expand their information access implementations this year, search experts are optimistic about their ability to deliver search solutions that are both usable and useful."

"The advent of the Internet, with sophisticated algorithmic search engines, has made accessing information as easy as lifting a finger. No longer do we have to make costly efforts to find the things we want. We can "Google" the old classmate, find articles online, or look up the actor who was on the tip of our tongue. The results of four studies suggest that when faced with difficult questions, people are primed to think about computers and that when people expect to have future access to information, they have lower rates of recall of the information itself and enhanced recall instead for where to access it. The Internet has become a primary form of external or transactive memory, where information is stored collectively outside ourselve"

"Dans un précédent billet, j'ai décrit quelques caractéristiques des projets complexes. J'aimerais revenir ici sur la question "que doit-on connaître d'un système pour pouvoir l'influencer dans la direction souhaitée", et pour cela je m'oserai à une nouvelle éloge de l'ignorance en management."

system knowledge complexity knowledgemanagement decisionmaking management chaostheory

  • Qu'en est-il pour une ou un chef de projet, resp. pour toute personne en position de cadre? Le savoir est-il toujours utile pour exercer le métier de décideur? "Savoir, c'est pouvoir" - est-ce toujours vrai en management?
  • Quand nous sommes confrontés à des systèmes complexes - et en fait dans la création tout est complexe car tout est en éternelle interdépendance, mais nous ne le voyons pas ou ne voulons pas le voir - notre entendement, habitué à gérer les systèmes compliqués, est dépassé. Il y a trop: trop de données, trop d'incertitudes, trop d'interactions, bref, trop d'information à traiter par l'entendement qui très vite sera dépassé, ce qui générera un cortège de réactions émotionnelles négatives, de nature anxiogène.

"As managers and executives increasingly look at the potential of social software to improve collaboration and connectedness amongst their workers, I’ve been seeing the same old questions arise in a newer, more senior audience. Namely, why are social business tools really different from the communication tools that are already in the hands of their workforce today? "

"Plenty of people say that collaboration is not an easy task, whether face to face or whether remote, but certainly it looks like collaborating effectively online still presents a good bunch of challenges and issues, and Aliza’s article surely highlights some of the most relevant ones. Worth a read, for sure, but is there anything else that we can do to help improve remote collaboration in today’s rather complex environment? … Maybe."

  • The key messages here are being flexible and celebrate multiple working styles trying to accommodate them with one another in the best possible way through one key aspect most businesses haven’t exploited well enough: negotiation
  • The key message here is that for that negotiation to take place those processes would probably need to be put together, initially, by the remote, virtual teams themselves, the ones who understand the dynamics of having everyone working distributed with different needs and wants, but also different expectations and trying to accommodate to the vast majority of them.

"La philosophie du social learning est en contraste avec la vision traditionnelle cartésienne de la connaissance et la formation. La perspective cartésienne suppose que la connaissance est une sorte de substance et que l’apprentissage est un moyen de transférer cette substance des formateurs à leurs élèves. De son côté, au lieu de partir du principe cartésien du «je pense, donc je suis», la vision sociale de l'apprentissage dit: «Nous participons, donc nous sommes. "
C’est en société que nous apprenons. L’observation, les discussions, la collaboration sont autant d’occasion d’apprendre. L’aspect social de l’apprentissage est fondamental. Le social learning n’est donc pas une nouveauté apparue avec le web 2.0."

  • La résolution de problèmes, le design, la créativité, la recherche, l’expérimentation, l’innovation sont des apprentissages à part entière. Le partage d’expérience, l’observation, les discussions, l’entraide, la coopération sont aussi des apprentissages. 80% de notre apprentissage est donc imprévu, non programmé, informel.

"In this interview, Forrester research analyst James Kobielus talks about how 'social business intelligence' combines business intelligence, knowledge management, social networking and collaboration, social media monitoring and analytics. How can it help your business?"

  • Traditionally, BI has been about reporting, dashboards and ad hoc queries, and it's been about the ability to track key business performance and metrics. Traditional BI has been focused on delivering intelligence from data warehouses and other databases, rather than directly from the other users.
  • Social BI is bringing a collaborative experience into your BI environment, which means that more and more of the BI tools that are available today are allowing users to ask questions of each other and quite often to link those questions to specific reports or visualizations that are presented in their BI environment.

"The customer service representatives for Knowledge Shop use Salesforce.com to manage membership information, seminar registrations, and to assign and track questions for Knowledge Shop advisers. When a rep enters a question into Salesforce.com from a Knowledge Shop member, the service rep can push that question into Socialtext Signals with the click of a button. Even though the question is addressed to a specific tax adviser, Hayes Knight finds value in letting others see the questions being asked."

"The company is approaching a critical juncture in its history: Half its work force here in the Puget Sound region will be eligible for retirement within the next decade. With an influx of largely younger employees, Boeing is searching for ways to retain its knowledge base before its experienced Machinists and engineers leave.

"My job title is tribal knowledge facilitator," Spigler said with a laugh during an interview recently.

But that tribal knowledge really is the reason Boeing reached out to retirees still living in the region, said Joyce Whitehorn, a manufacturing and quality assurance manager who helped get the program going.

"These are people who have a proud legacy with the Boeing Co.," she said.

Retirees such as Gandee and Spigler were at the pinnacle of Machinists' knowledge when they left the company, making them ideal teachers of new employees, Whitehorn said."

"Leaders often won’t invest resources to reduce the impacts of lost knowledge because they don’t understand the true costs of failing to act. Making the costs of lost knowledge visible is the best way to create a sense of urgency that will lead to executive action. "

  • The fact of the matter is that the rate at which baby-boomer retirements are going to pick up is going to put a severe strain on the depth of expertise that companies have to draw upon
  • e knowledge lost from veteran employees, combined with the inexperience of their replacements, threw the firm’s 737 and 747 assembly lines into chaos. Overtime skyrocketed and workers were chasing planes along the line to finish assembly. Management finally had to shut down production for more than three weeks to straighten out the assembly process, which forced Boeing to take a $1.6billion charge against earnings and contributed to an eventual management shake-up.
