Hayek, The Use of Knowledge in Society | Library of Economics and Liberty

The peculiar character of the problem of a rational economic order is determined precisely by the fact that the knowledge of the circumstances of which we must make use never exists in concentrated or integrated form but solely as the dispersed bits of incomplete and frequently contradictory knowledge which all the separate individuals possess. The economic problem of society is thus not merely a problem of how to allocate "given" resources—if "given" is taken to mean given to a single mind which deliberately solves the problem set by these "data." It is rather a problem of how to secure the best use of resources known to any of the members of society, for ends whose relative importance only these individuals know. Or, to put it briefly, it is a problem of the utilization of knowledge which is not given to anyone in its totality.

Social Collaboration vs Knowledge Networks - Contentation Re-considered

The recent E2.0 Addidas use case is also quite interesting as they try to integrate their SoCo initiatives into something much larger which integrate Knowledge and Content Management (p.17).

This is where traditional WCM/ECM and new Social Suite will usually collide and will need to find new common (and if possible fertile) grounds in order not to fight one against each other but to best leverage the unique selling propositions of each others.

Certainly something related to a shift towards Semantic Knowledge Networks for WCM/ECM vendors and towards improved idea generation (e.g: Spigit), more efficient videos conferences (e.g: Klewel) and similar for Social Software.

How ordinary smart people will change the organization, Part I: Saving the company | Smart People magazine

The problem with KM is that the people charged with introducing it into organizations were mostly front-line back-office people – middle managers with a background in library management, IT or training. Few of them really knew how decisions were made or what resources were allocated in their organizations.

The library people saw KM as a content management exercise. The IT people saw KM as a set of technology projects (intranets, extranets, groupware). The training people saw KM as an e-learning vehicle.

Should Knowledge Managers look for a new job? - rickmans's posterous

The knowledge manager is becoming obsolete, since the group is regulating itself via the use of new tools. There isn't one person or a small group of persons that can decide whether something is information, data or knowledge. That decision is personal and a group can decide better by using the tools available nowadays. If a certain document is downloaden 2000 times and has an average rating of 4 out of 5, than you may assume that document represents a certain quality, no need for knowledge manager to confirm or reject that.

Knowledge Management - Emerging Perspectives

Before attempting to address the question of knowledge management, it's probably appropriate to develop some perspective regarding this stuff called knowledge, which there seems to be such a desire to manage, really is. Consider this observation made by Neil Fleming[fle96] as a basis for thought relating to the following diagram.

o A collection of data is not information.
o A collection of information is not knowledge.
o A collection of knowledge is not wisdom.
o A collection of wisdom is not truth.

Enterprise 2.0 Blog » Blog Archive » Social Media vs. Knowledge Management: A Generational War

You’d think Knowledge Management (KM), that venerable IT-based social engineering discipline which came up with evocative phrases like “community of practice,” “expertise locater,” and “knowledge capture,” would be in the vanguard of the 2.0 revolution. You’d be wrong. Inside organizations and at industry fora today, every other conversation around social media (SM) and Enterprise 2.0 seems to turn into a thinly-veiled skirmish within an industry-wide KM-SM shadow war. I suppose I must be a little dense, because it took not one, not two, but three separate incidents before I realized there was a war on.

Library clips :: The emergence of Serendipity 2.0 and Innovation 2.0 :: October :: 2008

In the past many discoveries and innovations have come by accident or by chance, rather than a team hurting their heads with too much innovation think, “no matter how much I try I just can’t think of an innovation”. It doesn’t usually happen if you sit around doing nothing, it happens when you are involved in life, participating, interacting, only it’s not what your chasing, it’s what happened on the way, it’s what’s triggered, it’s the accidents (the gifts from the gods;) etc…

KM 1.0 vs KM 0.0 (the evolution of KM)

At the request of several readers, I've pulled this all together in the table above into a framework for what some have called KM 2.0, but which I prefer to call KM 0.0, because it's getting back to the roots of why and how people share what they know. It could also be called PKM -- Personal Knowledge Management -- because it's about self-managed content and peer-to-peer connectivity.

Library clips :: 140 characters to knowledge share :: August :: 2008

Using wikis and blogs are a great idea for support staff to inform each other of findings, experiences, workarounds, solutions as they happen.
This is called social learning where we learn from each other, which is essential as whoever wrote the procedures is not going to know the context of every unique situation upfront (the procedures may sometimes be a “dead-end”, and errors occur anyway), so leveraging user captured informal nuggets in blogs and wikis enables you to go “through the wall”.

But from my experience, not everyone could be bothered sharing, or has time before they move onto their next task.

Why Social Computing Aids Knowledge Management - CIO.com - Business Technology Leadership

Those dealing with knowledge management (KM) have always faced the challenge of getting information out of people's heads and into a database. Social computing tools seem like a good way to help, since they encourage people to share their knowledge with others, and that expertise can be easily captured.
