From Learning Management to Personal Knowledge Management
Jane Hart
AUGUST 11, 2012
But in fact it has been clear for some time that many individuals are already taking responsibility for not only acquiring new knowledge and skills but for a wide range of activities for their continuous learning and professional development. Acquiring new knowledge and skills – e.g. in webinars, online workshops, MOOCs, and through videos and screencasts, etc. 1-30 September : Personal Knowledge Management led by Harold Jarche.

Institutional Memory and Knowledge Management
Harold Jarche
AUGUST 12, 2013
The main themes are: Memories are captured as knowledge artifacts, each limited by what it can convey, depending on its nature and the knowledge of recipient. Knowledge management can provide a structure to capture institutional memory, but it requires more than one approach. Complex work, which is growing in importance in networked organizations, requires the sharing of implicit knowledge and this presents certain challenges.
Knowledge Management for Decision Memories
Harold Jarche
AUGUST 5, 2013
As Brian Gongol notes: If a capital project has an expected service life of 20 to 30 years, it’s entirely possible that people working in an institution in their 20s will be middle or upper-level managers in the same institution by the time the project has to be replaced or upgraded. This is Big Knowledge Management , leveraging the power of enterprise software platforms to store decision, process, and event memories. An Organizational Knowledge Sharing Framework.
Loose hierarchies for knowledge management
Harold Jarche
APRIL 10, 2013
Knowledge-sharing practices are highly contextual. This makes sense when you consider that knowledge sharing is deeply personal as well as social, so it reflects the larger culture and the particular workplace. A 2011 study (via David Gurteen ) concluded that even in the same company, knowledge management practices are different (note that the authors define Ba as shared context in motion ). For knowledge management today, industrial management just won’t cut it.
Defibrillating Knowledge Management
Martijn Linssen
OCTOBER 1, 2012
This is not the original title for this blog, the change is a bow towards the good folks on the ACT-KM listserv, some of whom are checking for a pulse on the teenaged wrist of Knowledge Management. Each participant taking with them their own knowledge of the interaction; based on their past experience, their cognitive biases evidenced through learning filters, and the random noise that affects the metaphorical learning that helps us navigate our day.
Becoming personal knowledge managers
Harold Jarche
JULY 18, 2011
Tweet Nick Milton highlights an overview of knowledge management (KM) from Susan Camarena , CKO at the Federal Transit Authority, which includes: How do we implement KM? This is the root of personal knowledge management (PKM). The way we become better knowledge managers ourselves is through practice because information is not enough, we need to learn from experience. The only knowledge that can be managed is our own.

Personal Knowledge Management
Jay Cross
MARCH 12, 2010
That’s the top layer of my Personal Knowledge Management set-up. Teach a man to fish… PKM: Figuring out what’s important to you, how to find it, how to keep up with it, how to make sense of it, how to recall it when you need it anew, and how to share it with others — this is ground zero for mining the riches of the web. Bookstore shelves overflow with books on blogging , but I’ve yet to see one on PKM.

personal knowledge management & wisdom
Harold Jarche
MARCH 18, 2010
And while there are different ways to think of knowledge – processed, procedural, propositional – this model I think adheres to a more basic view. Data does not create information; information does not create knowledge and knowledge does not create wisdom. People use their knowledge to make sense of data and information. People create information that represents their knowledge, which can then be more widely shared. Data + Knowledge = Information.

When Knowledge Management Hurts

They are a nuisance, impossible to navigate, and you can’t really store anything meaningful in them anyway, since real knowledge is quite impossible to put onto a piece of paper. Tags: Management innovation The Future Wonderful short article in Harvard Business Publishing by Freek Vermuelen describes how top-down informationbases actually get in the way of doing business.

Blog Post: Dilbert pokes fun at Knowledge Management
David Gurteen
AUGUST 20, 2010
Over the years there have been some gems relating to knowledge management, collaboration, knowledge sharing and the like. Dilbert on Knowledge Management. A 1998 Dilbert Comic Strip taking a poke at Knowledge Management. Unfortunately, that language "We must develop knowledge optimization initiatives to leverage our key leanings" is still only too common in KM circles. By David Gurteen Everyone loves Dilbert.
Blog Post: A colossal Knowledge Management failure!
David Gurteen
MARCH 8, 2010
By David Gurteen To my mind the failure by business but more so governments to understand the adverse affects of measures, rewards and targets is a colossal Knowledge Management failure. We have the knowledge but we refuse to act on it! As far as I can tell nearly all the research and evidence shows that rewards and targets do NOT work in complex environments. In fact they have the opposite effect of what is intended!
Hangout on Personal Knowledge Management and other topics
Jay Cross
FEBRUARY 8, 2013
My knowledge of Kahn is very limited–b ut essentiall y it’s a lecture. Hangout on Air, February 8, 10-11:00 am Pacific. YouTube. Our first weekday Hangout on Air. Attendance was down. Probably not the best weekday to try. In the future we’ll experiment with several different type of Hangout: (1) purely social, the “Hello, stranger Caffe,” Starbucks without the expensive drinks, (2) Hangout on a specific issue, perhaps with SME.

David Gurteen
FEBRUARY 22, 2009
By David Gurteen Dave Snowden has recently expanded his 3 Rules of Knowledge Management to 7 Principles of Knowledge Management. Knowledge can only be volunteered, it cannot be conscripted. In the context of real need few people will withhold their knowledge. He has explained each one of them in more detail in his original posting on rendering knowledge. A document is where knowledge goes to die.
Personal in Personal Knowledge Management

That there is a ‘best’ way to manage knowledge an information? It’s a pick-and-choose sort of thing: the way we manage information has a lot to do with the information, and a lot to do with who we are and what we want the information for … Harold responded with Other PKM processes where he shows some other models and states: To be clear, my intention is to show what works for me and perhaps some part of this may work others.
Knowledge Management and Learning

Interesting discussion going on with contribution by Luis Suarez, Jay Cross, David Wilson - around the distinction between Knowledge Management and Learning: Knowledge Management and Informal Learning Knowledge Management and Learning - Separated at Birth?

Emergent Knowledge Management
Tony Karrer
JUNE 15, 2007

ASHEN revisited
Dave Snowden
DECEMBER 22, 2020
Many moons ago, in the early days of my work in knowledge management one of the standard approaches was to conduct a knowledge audit. I said that if at the end they thought tacit knowledge could be made explicit I would work without a fee, if I was right it would be doubled.
Knowledge Management Core Issues
Tony Karrer
NOVEMBER 20, 2006
With an ever deceasing half-life of knowledge , just keeping up has become a major corporate imperative. We have made little progress in preventing those repeating errors, as firms grow in size and complexity, building relationships that enable knowledge flows, keeping in the loop and finding stuff becomes a huge issue. Discovering opportunities and gaps in knowledge flows, improving personal networking and finding experts (in larger firms).

Nick Milton: Knowledge Management is not an end in itself
David Gurteen
JULY 21, 2009
By David Gurteen If you don't already know him, I'd like to introduce you to Nick Milton of Knoco by way of a recent blog post of his: Knowledge Management is not an end in itself. Companies do not exist for the purpose of propagating and advancing knowledge - they exist to sell products and services. But to the extent that competitive advantage relies on informed decision making within the business - knowledge management has a crucial role to play.
