It would be interesting to hear how organisations have branded and marketed their KM interventions into the company. Is this a budget item, what crazy ideas people have tried out, how to do it on a shoestring?

Chat is 12pm ET / 9am PT

 Knowledge management is ill-defined but even more crucially ill-assessed. The inaccuracy and inadequacy of monitoring (1) approaches for KM has left behind a trail of tensions, heated debates, frustrations and disillusions. Differing perspectives on the value of KM and on ways to conduct monitoring have further entrenched these reactions.

How to reconcile expectations from managers / donors on the one hand, from teams in charge of monitoring knowledge management and clients / beneficiaries on the other hand? How to conjugate passion for and belief in knowledge-focused work with business realism and sound management practice?

What are approaches, methods, tools and metrics that seem to provide a useful perspective on monitoring the intangible assets that KM pretends to cherish (and/or manage)? What are promising trends and upcoming hot issues to turn monitoring of KM into a powerful practice to prove the value of knowledge management and to improve KM initiatives?

Traditionally, knowledge management initiatives have focused on sharing, collaborating and connecting inside the enterprise. This is the right place to start, but our colleagues, partners, clients, suppliers and even competitors also have knowledge and expertise that we can use. Can KM grow beyond the boundaries of the enterprise to include their participation? 

Regulatory and security issues aside, expanding KM beyond the boundaries of the enterprise holds bright promise. In this week's Tweetchat, we'll explore the potential advantages and obstacles of extra-enterprise knowledge management, and share strategies for pushing KM's boundaries "beyond the firewall." 

Modern organizations need a new, collaborative, value-driven approach to Innovation, which is challenging traditional views. It appears that the “Knowledge Management side of Innovation” is not fully exploited. Closer synergy between Knowledge and Innovation practices would certainly benefit the innovation process.

Predictions are hard for any one person to make. The essence of stock markets is that many different decision makers all making bets on their own predictions leads to a consensus of where corporate performance is heading.

The same sort of crowd decision making can be used for anything. If you are interested in this topic, but not familiar with Prediction Markets, there is a lot of interesting research and interesting tools available.

This chat will be a little less formal than a prediction market. We will see what our small sample size of people thinks is going to happen in 2010 and we will hash it out to see if we can get some interesting learning out of it.
