And today? There is little agreement in the industry… however, here is some of the latest thinking
“You can’t manage knowledge – nobody can. What you can do is to manage the environment in which knowledge can be created, discovered, captured, shared, distilled, validated, transferred, adopted, adapted and applied.”
Chris Collison and Geoff Parcell, Learning to Fly: Practical Knowledge Management from Leading and Learning Organizations
“…if you ask someone, or a body for specific knowledge in the context of a real need it will never be refused. If you ask them to give you knowledge on the basis that you may need it in the future, then you will never receive it.”
David Snowden, Cognitive Edge “ …the
focus is pretty much around the subject of people…And, like we all know, a successful KM strategy is one that combines into a perfect balance a focus on the people, on the tools and on the processes.”
Luis Suarez, IBM

Our view on the evolution of KM and Collaboration
KM and Collaboration in the past KM and collaboration is extra work KM and collaboration are sets of tools I work by myself People directories provide contact information Work happens in unannounced groups Content is protected Searches for content and experts are unrelated My value to the company is based on my deliverables Customers are interesting The online experience is a Conversation with text and data Targets increased productivity
Slide 7 | September - 2007
KM and Collaboration moving forward Collaborative work is what work is Collaboration is co-authoring the outcome I am immersed in the conversations of the workplace Dynamic profiles reflect what I do, with whom, and how well I do it. Work happens publicly where everyone participates Content is fluid and is developed through participation Experts lead to content, content leads to experts I am a professional whose value is based on both my deliverables and my reputation I depend on customers for feedback Collaborative work and Conversation with data are equally important Provides a platform for innovation
