Below is a copy of an email I sent to Wordpress Pro mailing list addressing the dynamic between information stored in a wiki and knowledge spurred on by conversations in a forum. In it I make recommendations as to why and how to link the two assuming that the community won’t shift to a pure […]
In http://socialwrite.com/2007/02/12/short-report-from-fastforward07/ Jevon said:
People tried on several occasions that this era is just Knowledge Management repackaged. I feel like I am missing something drastic here. The change now goes deeper, has immediate impact and is focused on PEOPLE, not knowledge. Rebuttal needs work.
“Knowledge Management” has been around since about 1988. It’s mature enough as a […]
Innovators & Influencers: From Web 2.0 To Enterprise 2.0 (Digg) http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=196602773

In Tech Boom 2.0: Boom but no bubble?, I highlighted the collaboration centricity of new investments:
A new emphasis on social networking and connecting people, rather than e-commerce, which consumers did not trust in 2000.

Currently, Canada only has two open-skies agreements, with the United States and Britain, while the […]
Great post by Business Two Zero: talking about Management Styles fundementally facilitative of emergence rather than imposing of process, and structure.
However, I was pleased that the first hit was for Kathy Sierra’s piece from earlier in the year. She highlights the emerging management style, influenced by web 2.0 thinking, is more community based, […]
It seems to me that there exists many different types of people doing “wiki consulting”. They differ by:
Background/goal:
Some are technologists, doing installs, writing plugins, etc.
Some are cultural anthropologists or statistians employed to provide insight on social interactions

Some are HR types, looking to get better […]
If you know of an organisation in Toronto that needs 2-3 hours a week help formulating strategy, governance and policy, please let me know. A not-for-profit is fine.
How many times have you emailed a colleague and found that they’ve side-stepped answering your question in their reply?
Say you ask several questions in your email but they just gloss over some parts in their reply. Bullet listing or numbering your points in an email is tiresome to write and is at the very […]
