This chat will be about knowledge management and diversity.

How do we incorporate diversity into Knowledge Management practices? Functionally, what tools can we use and philosophically, what do we need to believe and think in order to include diverse knowledge?

Background information for the chat

- Heart: The importance of culture (relative to KM)
- Mind: The role of technology (in enabling KM)
- Courage: The effect of leadership (in supporting KM)

 This chat will be moderated by @thelaurenklein. Please read the blogpost for more information on the chat.

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?
