Knowledge management. Knowledge management (KM) is the process of capturing, developing, sharing, and effectively using organizational knowledge.[1] It refers to a multi-disciplined approach to achieving organisational objectives by making the best use of knowledge.[2] An established discipline since 1991 (see Nonaka 1991), KM includes courses taught in the fields of business administration, information systems, management, and library and information sciences.[3][4] More recently, other fields have started contributing to KM research; these include information and media, computer science, public health, and public policy.[5] Columbia University and Kent State University offer dedicated Master of Science degrees in Knowledge Management.[6][7][8] History[edit] In 1999, the term personal knowledge management was introduced; it refers to the management of knowledge at the individual level.[14] Research[edit] Dimensions[edit] The Knowledge Spiral as described by Nonaka & Takeuchi.
Strategies[edit] Motivations[edit] Information Architecture for the Web. Information architecture. Information architecture (IA) is the structural design of shared information environments; the art and science of organizing and labeling websites, intranets, online communities and software to support usability and findability; and an emerging community of practice focused on bringing principles of design and architecture to the digital landscape.[1] Typically, it involves a model or concept of information which is used and applied to activities that require explicit details of complex information systems.
These activities include library systems and database development. Historically the term "information architect" is attributed to Richard Saul Wurman,[2][page needed] and now there is a growing network of active IA specialists who comprise the Information Architecture Institute.[3] Monitoring knowledge (management): an impossible task? « The giraffe. It isn’t an impossible task to monitor/evaluate (M&E) intangibles, knowledge or knowledge management (KM), but it requires a series of tough choices in a maze of possibles.
This is what Simon Hearn and myself are discovering, trying to summarise, synthesise and build upon the two M&E of KM papers commissioned earlier, as well as the reflective evaluation papers by Chris Mowles. We are still at the stage of struggling very much with how to set the ballpark for our study. So this is a good opportunity to briefly share a blogpost I wrote recently about this very topic, and to share some preliminary thoughts. If we get to engage your views it would certainly help us to get going. Content, Document, and Knowledge Management - KMWorld Magazine.

10 Commandments for managing Knowledge Workers. 5-curation. Knowledge Management on Twitter: Who to Follow. Twitter is increasingly a popular way to connect with experts across a variety of fields.
Finding the people you know is easy enough, but how do you discover people who are actively tweeting about the topics you’re interested in? For me, I’m interested in a number of subjects, but of particular interest is the field of knowledge management — helping connect people to share and leverage knowledge and expertise. On the subject of knowledge management, MindTouch has attempted to do just that — creating an annual list of the Top 100 Influencers in KM. While I’m honored to be included on the list (at #53), I should point out that it’s far from perfect.
The list evaluates Twitter users, based on their use of the #KM and #KMers hash tags. Keeping up with the Top 100 KM Influencers.

2013 Top 100 Influencers in #KM – Knowledge Management. In an effort to chart the power nodes in the social graph of various technology industry disciplines, MindTouch has a history of researching and producing a list of influencers.
This began as an internal project to understand sectors important to MindTouch and since 2009 MindTouch has published these reports to the advantage of the community at large. Last week we shared our internal annual report of Techcomm influencers that we produced using LittleBird. This year, MindTouch also analyzed Knowledge Management influencers.
As has been the case in the past, MindTouch is again making this list available to the community with the hope that this will strengthen the community, create new relationship and hopefully spark some discussion.

Personal Knowledge Management. Developing a conscious strategy for managing information to avoid feeling overloaded (information overload) is an important part of being a knowledge worker.
While it can be said that access to web 2.0 tools such as social networking and social media contribute to information overload, I believe that they may actually enable us to organize and navigate our personal learning environments which may help us avoid information overload. Because we can customize most of our information inflows using web 2.0 tools, we have the opportunity to select the best possible channels of information. The key to doing this is through the filtering of information that we encounter in our daily lives and the curation of valuable information for sense making. Information Overload Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the shear wealth of information available to us?
Relevance: Which information available to us is most relevant for our context? Flow rate: How quickly information is coming at a person. References. Attending and mending the knowledge ecosystem. Content Management in a Knowledge Management Context — Prescient Digital Media - intranet consultant, intranet consulting, intranet planning and Internet planning. During an economic downturn such as the one we are working our way through at the moment (2010), organizations are looking to make the most of their investments in their technological infrastructure, how to squeeze greater efficiencies out of their product development or production processes through automation, and how to leverage their technology to generate efficiencies.
These efforts can take different organizations in different directions. For example, if your organization creates physical widgets on a production line, or if your staff are considered ‘knowledge workers’ creating products which are essentially ‘information assets’. Knowledge Federation. Content management Research Portals. Cynefin. The various domains of the Cynefin model.
Cynefin /ˈkʌnɨvɪn/ is a Welsh word, which is commonly translated into English as 'habitat' or 'place', although this fails to convey its full meaning. The term was chosen by the Welsh scholar Dave Snowden to describe a perspective on the evolutionary nature of complex systems, including their inherent uncertainty ("The Cynefin framework"). The name serves as a reminder that all human interactions are strongly influenced and frequently determined by our experiences, both through the direct influence of personal experience, as well as through collective experience, such as stories or music.
The framework provides a typology of contexts that guides what sort of explanations or solutions might apply. It draws on research into complex adaptive systems theory, cognitive science, anthropology, and narrative patterns, as well as evolutionary psychology, to describe problems, situations, and systems.

As part of my work and research as a Google sponsored fellow at the Reuters Digital Vision program at Stanford University, and in cooperation with several colleagues from the private and social sectors and international organizations, we have developed a series of visual representations of processes, frameworks and ecosystems supporting the Knowledge Society and Human Development through Information and Communication Technologies (ICT4Dev).

Seven guiding principles for knowledge management in your organization. The Organization of Knowledge.pdf. KM for the future: strategic outlook, smooth launch. Increasingly, organizations are focusing more on the purpose of knowledge management initiatives and less on the technology itself. More organizations have a strategic intent when they launch new applications and a clearer set of goals. "KM is about sharing and leveraging collective knowledge," says Kent Greenes, president of Greenes Consulting. "We view it as the ‘boundaryless' flow of knowledge. " In some cases, the flow is across the whole enterprise, and in some cases, it is across different organizations. In one of the examples that follows, a large and geographically dispersed organization has taken on the task of evaluating, tracking and measuring risks associated with departments throughout the company to guide its corporate risk strategy.
