Personal Knowledge Management
Davenport and Prusak correctly observed that "knowledge management must be part of everyone's job." Perhaps the most fundamental way this happens is through personal knowledge management or personal sensemaking. Harold Jarche describes personal KM as a three-part process of aggregating, filtering and connecting/sharing.
During this KMers' Tweetchat, we'll discuss ways to achieve personal KM and how knowledge managers can coach knowledge workers throughout their organization to be more effective at personal KM or personal sensemaking.
- What effective means have we found to aggregate, filter and share information?
- Is personal KM a good foundation for corporate KM, or are they competing efforts?
- What are the corporate benefits of individual KM efforts? Should a company deliberately seek to take advantage of individual KM efforts?
- How do we build a corporate culture in which individuals take responsibility for personal KM or personal sensemaking?
Lead by Example and Model Desired Behaviors [Stan Garfield Tips part III]
Many knowledge management programs and social media initiatives begin as grass roots efforts or skunk works projects, gaining users from the ground up. Others are launched by top executives through formal communications imploring members of the organization to participate. The most successful implementations combine both of these methods, while adding one more: the executives and their staffs not only communicate about the initiative, they actually participate themselves in a visible manner.
During this chat we'll examine this premise, and share experiences around it.
