Speaking about the implications of a knowledge based strategy, Boisot states: In industrialized countries, this kind of management probably holds the key to continued prosperity and social stability.

The challenge for any organization dependent on knowledge is to ensure that implicit knowledge from those closest to customers and the external world informs the explicit knowledge that is shared throughout the company. Knowledge flow has to continuously become knowledge stock. Individuals practising personal knowledge mastery have to be an intrinsic part of organizational knowledge management. Fake news. PR hype.

My response harkened back to my first book Developing Knowledge-Based Client Relationships. In financial services in particular, there are three key aspects to ‘knowledge-based’ relationships that not only create value, but can also essentially lock-in the client. If you know your clients better than your competitors, and critically do things differently because of that knowledge, you will provide deeper value. MORE
As practice stabilises it increasingly standardises, acquires ‘generations of knowledge’, professional practice and the like. The apprentice model of learning means that the apprentices are making mistakes, talking between masters and generally developing the body of knowledge it is never static. It now refers to the idea of improvisation in human systems and is best in operation with loose knowledge bases with novel insights and applications. MORE
More importantly, once acquired, knowledge and skills that are specialized are assets that are at risk following the very same logic as that by which financial assets are at risk. Our human capital is a combination of our skills & knowledge, reputation, and social capital. This social capital is based on expertise and my relationships. The foundation for organizational knowledge is the human capital of each and every worker (expertise & relationships). MORE

In the mid-1990s I became involved in knowledge management. So I wrote my first book, Developing Knowledge-Based Client Relationships , to frame knowledge as primarily about creating value WITH the customer. Big Data is one of the hottest trends at the moment, as shown in this Google Trends chart below. However much of the big data discussion is about how to market better to customers, gathering data ABOUT them so companies can sell more to them. MORE

The more we know, the more patterns we have to bring into play, the more coherent are integration of those knowledge bases the more able we are to deal with uncertain conditions where there are few precedents and we are encountering novelty.

The argument is simple: Much of today’s economy is knowledge-based. In a knowledge economy, we need to be learning constantly. MOOCs reflect society’s transition to a knowledge economy and reveal the inadequacy of existing university models to meet learner’s needs. I’ve said this many times over the past six months: If 2012 was the year of the MOOC, 2013 will be the year of the anti-MOOC. Things are unfolding nicely according to plan. MORE

In my first book Developing Knowledge-Based Client Relationships: The Future of Professional Services the final chapter was titled Value-Based Pricing: Implementing New Revenue Models.

So, for instance, adapting a large knowledge-based course will still leave it as a problematic solution in search of a problem.

Thinking of learning as something additional to work is plain wrong in a knowledge-based, creative, networked society and economy.

If connections don’t form, learning doesn’t happen and knowledge isn’t generated. Learners are then expected to duplicate the knowledge of the instructor (hence the notion of knowledge transfer).

By David Gurteen There is opinion that the Knowledge Economy does not exist or is a myth. There will still be a Knowledge Economy but it will be for the few - the people who program and tend the computing machines and digital infrastructure. Will the future economy be Knowledge based or Human based and what are the questions we should be asking Or that maybe it should be termed the Information or Digital Economy. MORE
I would now like to discuss another brief which I found quite interesting, - Will the Spread of Digital Technologies Spell the End of the Knowledge Divide? , In addition, notes Mishra, the digital revolution is significantly expanding the availability of knowledge, thus leading to an increasingly global knowledge-based society. Evidence suggests that digital technologies are in fact helping to expand knowledge, but are not succeeding in democratizing it. MORE

Many moons ago in the early days of knowledge management I argued that the ubiquitous DIKW pyramid was both flawed and dangerous. Those of us managing knowledge were obvious an inferior form of life. Satire aside, and despite my love of Eliot’s Choruses from the Rock , I started to talk about shared knowledge allowing data to be informative. Now this underpins a lot of SenseMaker® and the signification structure, but it also is key to narrative based definitions of Cynefin. MORE
