Absorbing complexity with PKM
Harold Jarche
MARCH 24, 2014
Anne Marie McEwan explains its effects, in Why Your Network is Your Life Support System : The concept implies that organisations that fail to distribute responsibility for absorbing complexity will eventually cease to be viable – they will not be resilient against shocks coming at them from their external environment. We both use social technologies to reach out into the complexity and try to make sense of it. This is PKM and the Seek > Sense > Share framework.

They are supported by the Working Smarter with PKM field guide. Working Smarter with PKM (3 minute videos). It is how we keep up in a complex networked world. I have a series of three 3-minute videos presenting the personal knowledge mastery framework.
PKM in practice
Harold Jarche
FEBRUARY 26, 2020
It imposes a heavy working load on working memory – that is cognitive load … Intrinsic cognitive load is the load complex material places on working memory. Cognitive load management is one of the four beneficial skills that can be acquired throughthe practice of personal knowledge mastery (PKM). While PKM is designed to lessen the cognitive load, learning how to develop this disciplined approach to sensemaking can actually increase the cognitive load. PKM Made Simple.
PKM is making sense of complexity
Harold Jarche
DECEMBER 15, 2013
This is what you find on the first page of most searches for PKM : Personal knowledge management (PKM) is a collection of processes that a person uses to gather, classify, store, search, retrieve, and share knowledge in his or her daily activities – Wikipedia. In my practice of PKM, and the Seek > Sense > Share framework, there is nothing artificial at all, and looking for automation only detracts from the real power of PKM.
Why PKM?
Harold Jarche
APRIL 27, 2014
Here is a short video introduction on why personal knowledge mastery ( PKM ) is becoming a required skill and mindset for professionals today. When you are only as good as your network, PKM becomes a necessity. Are things more complex now, than they were 5 or 10 years ago? I have noted that three types of insights that Klein observed through his 120 cases, can be developed through PKM – connections, coincidences and curiosity. Related: Why PKM Part 1.
PKM Roles
Harold Jarche
JANUARY 12, 2014
This simple model has worked well in explaining the main concepts of PKM and helping others to individually construct a set of processes to make sense of the world and work more effectively. Over 10 years ago Patrick Lambe wrote a very good guide on the various roles one can have in PKM. – PKM: A DIY Guide to Knowledge Management. If you read the DIY guide, there are a series of questions to help identify your own tendencies in PKM.
my pkm story
Harold Jarche
FEBRUARY 27, 2015
PKM shifts responsibility. To a great extend PKM [personal knowledge management] is about shifting responsibility for learning and knowledge sharing from a company to individuals and this is the greatest challenge for both sides. By 2009, I saw PKM as the missing component of most enterprise KM efforts. There were many other PKM models put forth, in addition to Lilia’s original work. By late 2009, I described PKM as our part of the learning contract.

PKM in Action. Part 2
Harold Jarche
AUGUST 5, 2019
In PKM in Action Part 1 I gave a few examples of how people practice personal knowledge mastery. A good way of looking at PKM is as a method to improve serendipity, or fortuitous chance encounters. PKM practices do not have to be difficult. Two PKM methods I came across are the Fitness Circuit and Double-loop Learning to create micro-articles. Integrating PKM with team learning and knowledge management starts to connect personal learning with collaborative work.
PKM and MOOC
Harold Jarche
DECEMBER 16, 2013
But the MOOC can foster emergent learning, which makes it an optimal form for understanding complex issues. In the complex domain , combining PKM with more structure for social learning, using the MOOC format, can be an important addition to how workplace learning is supported.

PKM in 34 pieces

OCTOBER 29, 2013
One of my objectives with the current PKM Workshop [there''s still time to sign up] was to review most of my resources and work on developing new ones. Much of my work on PKM has been inspired by others. This graphic combines the work of several people into a single aide-mémoire on PKM and the Seek – Sense – Share framework.
PKM in 2013
Harold Jarche
JANUARY 27, 2013
Personal knowledge management (PKM) is a set of processes, individually constructed, to help each of us make sense of our world and work more effectively. The PKM framework I have developed over the past eight years suggests two more steps: sense-making and sharing. PKM, or learning in networks, is a continuous process of seeking, sensing, and sharing. These directly align with the PKM framework of Seek, Sense, Share.
What is your PKM routine?
Harold Jarche
MARCH 5, 2014
The most important aspect of PKM is that it is personal. My colleague Jane Hart shared her daily PKM routine recently and it’s different from mine, which of course it should be. I recently chatted with Sacha Chua about PKM and archiving large blogs. So I would like to ask: What kind of PKM routine do you practice? In order to stick with a routine over time, people have to find what works for them.
Complex knowledge
Harold Jarche
FEBRUARY 12, 2014
Last week I spent several hours each day, for four consecutive days, trying to share complex knowledge. I was reminded once again of how much time it takes to share complex (implicit) knowledge. PKM helps to create the bits that will enable the conversational flow. To really share complex knowledge takes a willingness to listen as well as the time and space to do so. complexity Learning Wirearchy
PKM and innovation
Harold Jarche
SEPTEMBER 25, 2012
One way to practice these skills would be to promote personal knowledge management (PKM) in the workplace. In an organization where everyone is practising PKM, the chances for more connections increases. PKM is a framework that enables the re-integration of learning and work and can help to increase our potential for innovation. Innovation PKMIn the FastCoDesign article, How do you create a culture of innovation?
Barriers to PKM
Harold Jarche
AUGUST 30, 2012
A few weeks ago I asked my extended online network, “ What do you think is the biggest fear/need/barrier when it comes to adopting personal knowledge management (PKM) as a practice? ” Finding someone to talk to about PKM was a common response, as was the observation that management’s perception is often that not everyone has the same level of ability to do PKM sufficiently well. The complexity of multiple perspectives and solutions can be quite confusing.
Organize for Complexity
Harold Jarche
MAY 1, 2014
” Well I think Niels has answered much of that question himself, in his recent book Organize for Complexity. We call this “disciplined practice” Fads like business analytics, knowledge management, and big data will never make organizations fit for complexity. This is why I now call PKM: Personal Knowledge Mastery ; to separate it from much of the traditional practice of knowledge management. So what does Organize for Complexity cover?

It is a suite of capabilities that foster an organizational culture that is constantly learning in order to understand and engage the complex environment in which it lives. The seeking, sense-making, and sharing of PKM can be the core communication technology* of a networked organization. * “Technology is the application of organized and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems.” – Harold Stolovitch.

social learning for complex work
Harold Jarche
MARCH 20, 2016
It’s a question of complexity. Complex systems and learning how to work with them cannot be controlled. If you are working in a complex system, you will never be able to know everything. For instance, the environment and communities are complex systems that cannot be controlled, only influenced. This requires cooperation and collaboration between people to understand the complexity.

During one of our conversations in a local café, Jon suggested that in wirearchies, personal knowledge management (PKM) could become the new resumé. Considering that in complex, networked environments, where work is learning and learning is the work, would it not be better to find out how people are learning? Imagine an interview beginning with, “ Good day, Mister Jones, please sit down and tell us about your PKM. PKM Wirearchy
The Power of Pull and PKM
Harold Jarche
JANUARY 9, 2013
PKM helps people stay focused on the edges of their knowledge and look for innovation and opportunity. The core is being managed by fewer internal staff and any work where complexity is not the norm will be of diminishing value. PKM enables tacit knowledge flows from the edge to the core and back. PKM is a process of moving knowledge from the edge (social networks) to the core (work teams) and back out to the edges. PKM covers the latter.
simplifying the complexity
Harold Jarche
APRIL 26, 2017
Complex Problems. I like complex problem-solving. Perhaps my most interesting project was when a client gave me a statement of work to ‘simplify the complexity’ I did not have a solution but felt that with my extended networked I would be able to solve their problem. While I offer my own workshops, like PKM and Social Learning , I can help clients create their own programs.
PKM: the basic unit of social business
Harold Jarche
DECEMBER 19, 2012
Empowered individuals working in networks, not teams, will give organizations the flexibility they need to be creative and deal with complexity. People are more complex and multi-faceted than the simplistic view of Homo Economicus. In a complex world, unity is counter-productive. Organizations should support the individual sharing of information and expertise between knowledge workers, on their terms, using PKM methods & tools. PKM SocialBusiness
Networked Learning (PKM) Workshop in Toronto

OCTOBER 16, 2011
Tweet In just over a month’s time, I’ll be facilitating another one-day workshop on Networked Learning (PKM) at the University of Toronto’s iSchool Institute on Friday, 18 November 2011. Personal knowledge management (PKM) is an individual, disciplined process by which we make sense of information, observations and ideas. However, PKM is of little value unless the results are shared by connecting to others and contributing to meaningful conversations.
PKM in 2010
Harold Jarche
JANUARY 27, 2010
This post is a continuation of Sense-making with PKM (March, 2009)]. What is PKM? PKM is an individual, disciplined process by which we make sense of information, observations and ideas. PKM can be looked at as three types of activities [note: I've reduced this from seven activities in my previous articles on PKM as I believe that a simpler process is easier to teach and to begin with]. Why PKM? One of the difficult aspects of PKM is triage, or sorting.

PKM: a node in the learning network

MARCH 7, 2010
Too often we think of learning as school, training as something that is delivered, and complex problems as solvable with enough effort and resources. But social learning in networks can help us deal with complexity by providing a platform to test out ideas and learn from and with each other. I have circled those activities at the bottom of this grid to show what personal knowledge management ( PKM ) enables. Tags: Informal Learning InternetTime Wirearchy PKM

Social Learning, Complexity and the Enterprise
Harold Jarche
APRIL 20, 2011
Our relationship with knowledge is changing as our work becomes more intangible and complex. PDL – Personal Directed Learning: from Clockwork & Predictable to Complexity & Surprising. Complexity, or maybe our appreciation of it, has rendered the world unpredictable, so the orientation of learning is shifting from past (efficiency, best practice) to future (creative response, innovation). In complex environments it no longer works to sit back and see what will happen.

But more of our challenges are complex and cannot be solved in a standard way — inequality, refugees, populism, racism. Whenever people are involved, within a global context of climate change, the situation is likely complex. In complex situations there is less reliance on detailed plans and analysis and a greater emphasis on continuous experimentation coupled with good observation and tracking. We have to learn constantly in complexity. Complexity & Chaos.

We need context to understand complex issues and this can be provided by those we are connected to. PKM is an individual, disciplined process by which we make sense of information, observations and ideas. However, PKM is of little value unless the results are shared by connecting to others and contributing to meaningful conversations. As knowledge workers or citizens, PKM is our part of the social learning contract. Why is social learning important?

PKM: A Swiss Army knife for the Network Era. I am amazed at how personal knowledge mastery [ PKM ] is adapted to so many different situations, which attests to the usefulness of a simple framework to deal with complex problems. Part of PKM is critical thinking, or questioning assumptions, which is why it may be threatening to certain management systems. PKM helps to avoid silo-thinking. This year, PKM is being adopted on an even broader scale in the UK.

Our increasing interconnectedness is illuminating the complexity of our work environments. On the positive side , complex work can provide unique business advantages and creative work can help to identify new business opportunities. However, complex work is difficult to copy and creative work constantly changes. But if we agree that complex and creative work are where long-term business value lies, then learning amongst ourselves is the real work in organizations today.
