I found the recent post by Dr. Sabine Payr a little patronizing and
disparaging of the KM movement. I not deny there are folk who find it easy
and lucrative to equate information with knowledge and some who seek
business advantage from calling a simple scanner a KM solution, but this far
from the whole picture.
Within KM there are initiatives around networking, group learning, knowledge
sharing, cultural changes and communities of practice that are concerned
with learning, identity and meaning at a deep level. Dialog, inquiry,
reflection, synthesis, learning levels and much more is being applied here.
Gathering & sharing solutions to common problems, development of
distinctions and ontologies, capture of integrated customer profiles,
lessons learned and best practices are other examples.
Knowledge ecology is a movement that seeks to bring together views from
organizational epistemology, community ethos, continuous learning and
innovation. I think Dr Payr will find a refreshingly different view here,
where people, creativity, relationships, trust and reciprocity in community
hold sway over rules, repositories and automated inference.
