Sharing Knowledge Sharing

A couple of months ago I wanted to explain in a few words to some of my colleagues what is behind that frightening term Knowledge Management. We tend to be afraid of things or people we don’t know, don’t we?

My audience was not only a quite sceptical one, but a very busy one and not too interested in “loosing” time in some academically driven speech without any business approach. I mean really, did any KM concept sell any product yet? Or cut costs? If it would be business critical, wouldn’t Senior Management have already taken care of it and told us what to do?

Sharing – just another way of networking

Did you do it today? Yesterday? This week? If your answer is no, here goes my (free) advice to you. Join us and do it as often as possible.

Sharing information is an excellent way of using social media as a knowledge distribution tool. Thanks to social bookmarking sites such as Delicious, we can tag and bookmark interesting articles, posts and videos – in one word: content. Those of us who spend several hours online daily can create a library for their team, themselves and everybody with similar interests.
