| | April 13, 2005 | | Defining knowledge work: discretionary behaviour; a system of activities that knowledge workers opt to do, and managing knowledge work as establishing conditions that increase the likelihood of making the "right" choices. | This is a fascinating excursion through the origins of knowledge management and how Weblogs will [likley] intersect the future of knowledge work. "Weblogs are envisioned as a prototype technology for enabling grass-root knowledge management, triggering pilots and experimentation in companies. The results of our study support these suggestions and indicate that studying weblog uses in corporate KM is a valuable research direction." -- Lilia Efimova This is an expected conclusion, but perhaps premature for most companies seeking to enhance their KM systems through weblog adoption. Naturally, given a tool, we should try to solve KM problems with it. However, as the author points out... "... in this paper we would like to take another angle and suggest using weblogs as a looking glass to explore needs and activities of a knowledge worker." This is akin to saying - let's use Weblogs to gather and understand knowledge work requirements; as a requirements management tool. Baby steps are always useful and this is a good one. | | |
| | April 03, 2005 | | I've struggled with the value of Podcasting too. | I can see some benefits to podcasting, and my brain is still swirling with ideas provided by all the fine students at Auburn. It's not the hype that bothers me - it's the fact that we're in such an early transitional stage. Darren nails it - time-shifted [audio] content management will become important to everyone just as time-shifted television content has. That will bring out the big guns that know how to manage rich media and blend it into every-day life; your car, your iPod, your home theatre, etc. | | |
