 We always say how people and culture are the biggest moving parts in the success (or failure) of KM, and that KM is "about people not tech", so what part does job-focused psychology play in KM?

During this chat we will digg deeper into knowledge management for non profit organizations! 

Most non profit organizations  have taken steps in adopting some sort of knowledge management strategy, although approaches have varied quite widely, as has the terminology used, and the levels of investment made.

The promise and potential of these initiatives has often yet to be fully realised. But clearly, the knowledge and learning approach can and does provide useful tools and approaches, which, if properly, consistently and thoughtfully applied, can help address some of the symptoms of the institutional malaise faced by modern non profit organisations.

What has tended to happen is that non profit organisations have generally leaned towards linear and technocentric interpretations of knowledge management, in line with the descriptive early traditions of KM and organisational development or ‘institution building’.

Is this still true?

During this chat we will talk about experiences, approaches and best practices for knowledge management in non profit organizations.

1. Are you working or did you work on knowledge mangement (or related fields) for a non profit organization?
2. What (in your opinion or experience) are the differences between knowledge management in profit and not for profit organizations? Or are they similar?
3. Do you know examples of succesful knowledge management strategies, tools, stories and/or practices in non profit organizations? Can you share?
4. What are key lessons you have learned in your work in knowledge management for a non profit?(If you didn't work for a non profit: What lessons you have learned do you think are speficically useful in a non profit context)
5. How can non profit organizations effectively share knowledge between one another? Do you have experiences, examples that worked?
6. Do non profit organizations require a specific change management and adoption strategy? What would you advise for such a strategy?
7. Do you have other tips for those that work on knowledge management in non profit organizations?

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?

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.
