KM Links to Best Practices and Essential KM Jumping Off Points

At the January meeting, a few attendees mentioned starting a new KM initiative in their organization. I thought I'd share a list of resources that came my way in a KM.Gov group meeting. Granted some links may be dated and too government-focused, but, who knows, you may find something of value on it (esp. the KM.Gov wiki).

If anybody has additional links, please include them in your comments (link, short description). I'll try to figure out how to make this into a resource for the group.

Knowledge Management vs. Knowledge Sharing

IBM was abandoning the term "knowledge management" for "knowledge sharing." According to an article on the KnowledgeBoard site.

January 13 KM Chicago Meeting Announcement: KM and Organizational Learning

Tuesday, January 13: 5:30pm

For location details, see right-hand column.

Jean Egmon will lead an interactive session on the integration of knowledge management and organizational learning. She will present a conceptual framework, cases and conversations around methods for accelerating innovation while achieving cost savings by blending knowledge management and organizational learning into “design experiments.”

Author of The Prepared Mind: Eight Skills Leaders Use to Innovate, Make Decisions, and Solve Problems published by Jossey-Bass, 2006

Jean Egmon is the executive director of the Ford Center Network, a division of the Ford Center for Global Citizenship within the Kellogg School of Management where she is also a faculty member. Additionally, she is the director of Northwestern University’s Complexity in Action Network. Jean is also the president of Third Angle, Inc. Jean’s work focuses on spotting & leveraging interdependencies across value networks. This means synthesizing information and ideas from diverse sources, working with companies to spot the “third angle,” i.e., a higher order concept of “simple elegance” that enables clients to meet multiple needs of multiple stakeholders at once. From there, she works with clients to design strategies and environments to innovate and make decisions that create a pull for participation across the networks.

Applications of this expertise include: uncovering and exploring new market niches; engaging cross-boundary collaboration for invention and innovation; designing new things to be more easily adopted & viral across customers and employees; employing a design method where interdisciplinary teams approach a variety of business questions with a design mindset and iterate with end users; and designing work to be done by networks.

Jean relies heavily on her interdisciplinary background, and that of her team, in cognition, management, and complexity sciences, marketing and literature to develop frameworks, approaches and tools that help business leaders and scientists see the world with a more connective lens and actively build their own capabilities and applications in these areas.

Organizations with which Jean has worked include: Abbott, Accenture, Bank of America, Boeing, Equity Office Properties, Exelon Corporation, ExxonMobil, General Electric, Kraft, Merck, Proctor & Gamble, Raytheon, Unilever, United Airlines & US Intelligence.

Apologies for the late notice, but we hope you can still join us to hear IBM’s Bill Learned present how IBM uses social computing (i.e., profiles and social networks, blogs, wikis, tag clouds, etc.) within their enterprise, and the value they derive from using those tools. IBM’s implementations of Web 2.0 technologies, including Lotus Mashups and Lotus Connections has been in the KM news a lot this past year. It should be interesting to get a perspective on what they are doing and how these implementations are going directly from the source.

Bill Learned, IBM - Lotus Collaboration Sales Leader for Central Region, started with IBM in 1997 as the Senior Lotus Systems Consultant for General Motors, DaimlerChrylser and Delphi Automotive and held global responsibility for the IBM/Lotus technical relationship with those IBM customers. Starting July of 2000 Bill joined the Lotus World Wide Technology Advocate Group and delivered strategic briefings, seminars and enablement sessions for IBM customers. Bill joined the World Wide WebSphere Portal Sales Team in 2002 and provided portal sales leadership in Europe and the Middle East. From 2003 through mid 2006 Bill managed the Technical Sales team for Portal and Workplace in the United States, Central Region - North. Bill led a team of seven technical sales specialists responsible for the selling of, and customer success with, WebSphere Portal and Lotus collaboration software solutions. Last year Bill managed a team of sales and technical professionals across all IBM Software Brands charged with opening new markets and accounts for IBM. Currently Bill is the Lotus Collaboration Sales Leader for IBMs Central North Business Unit. Bill holds a BA from Michigan State University and MBA from the University of Detroit.
