It’s a term that those of us that are involved in knowledge and learning could make great use of – no need for neurologist to have all the fun! Of course, it’s all a good deal more complex since that lone neuron is also exciting lots of other neurons and even turning some off – but for the purpose of thinking about how it impacts knowledge, lets stay simple. There is a wonderful term that cognitive neurologists use, “ potentiation.”

In this three part series I‘ve classified the evolving landscape of knowledge management into three categories. The first category is Leveraging Explicit Knowledge and is about capturing documented knowledge and building it into a collection - connecting people to content. The second category is about Leveraging Experiential Knowledge and it gave rise to communities of practice and reflection processes. Leveraging Collective Knowledge.

But what is most interesting to me is the profound change in the way we conceptualize knowledge and the implications of that conceptualization for how we do our work as knowledge professionals. What I mean when I say, “how we conceptualize knowledge” are issues like, “Who in the organization has useful knowledge;” “How stable >is knowledge over time;” “How we can tell if knowledge is valid or trustworthy.” Knowledge Management Precursors.

CADD was able to differentiate the “how to” knowledge, for example how to set up a checkpoint in Iraq, from the more conceptual knowledge that provides enduring principles for the Army. The answer, a cooperative effort between The Battle Command Knowledge System (BCKS) and CADD, was a series of Kaizen events. Tags: Knowledge Management Strategies Change Management

How do we incentivise people to share their knowledge? The question is asked because when managers look around their organizations they don’t see much knowledge sharing going on. A much more useful question is, “What causes people to be willing to share their knowledge with others?” People Willingly Share Their Knowledge. DC is a difficult city to find your way around in and my own extensive knowledge of the city was hard won.

Here are a few examples of the kind of knowledge in those 100 manuals. Too often in organizations senior leaders view KM initiatives including new social media as something they need to provide for the frontline – but do not see it as something they need for themselves – a process that would enhance their own ability to develop new ideas and knowledge among themselves. There are even more examples of Generals actively supporting knowledge management activities.

Each approaches knowledge sharing from a very different direction and in that sense each adds something unique to the mix. Build knowledge sharing processes into the workflow.

This interesting phenomenon has a number of possible knowledge management implications for me: ? The title is a bit of an exaggeration, but intended to make the point that contrary to common belief, our own articulation of an idea adds to our understanding of that idea. At face value that doesn’t make much sense, after all we must know what we think about an issue; how else are we able to talk about it? But the reality is that what we don’t necessarily know what we know.

One of the things that has always drawn me to Knowledge Management is that knowledge sharing is essentially an act of giving. Dave Snowden is fond of saying that “all knowledge sharing is voluntary” and I’m very much in agreement. Even when my organization requires me to share my knowledge by writing it into my performance plan or counting the number of contributions I make to a community, it would be easy for me to run up the count with superficial knowledge.

Two years ago I participated in a meeting to develop a knowledge management strategy for Ecopetrol, the state oil company of Columbia, South America. I want to describe it because it has stayed with me as a good example of an organization making use of its collective knowledge. These were multiple small group meetings using the world café format and focused around the question “What knowledge do we need at Ecopetrol that we don’t have?”

I am excited about the direction knowledge management is headed. There is a growing interest in drawing out deeper insights and more profound knowledge - what we often think of as tacit knowledge. This is the type of knowledge that can address the increasingly complex issues organizations are facing. Most organizations have mastered how to leverage explicit knowledge and have the improvement gains to show for it.

Modeled on Wikipedia, these wikis typically aspire to capture knowledge and insights that people collect in the course of their work. That was one of the great (if depressing) learnings of the Knowledge Management movement. These wikis are typically replacing email, virtual team rooms, and project management systems.

Allen points out that scarcity thinking is the enemy of change management everywhere, not just in relation to IT projects or nonprofits and I completely agree. He suggests that good planning can help people adjust their scarcity beliefs, although I wonder if the right kind of planning is possible when management is in the grip of the scarcity mindset themselves.
