TimeRime

I forecasted an intensified interest for timelines and the consequential development of timeline software. TimeRime Business Solutions shows an example which way it is developing. This software is already much better than everything released before. Mark my words: "It's only the beginning!"

Gary Hamel

The great ones don't need many webpages. See the home page of Gary Hamel for an example. Reputation is everything ... once established. His mistake in advocating Emron may be forgiven by the publication of "the future of management", a thrilling good "management" book. It's now also avalilable in dutch with the questionable title "Het einde van management zoals wij het kennen". Speak for yourself!

Baby I bought a Bonsai

Knowledgemanagement is like growing (or is it nursing?) bonsai. Searching some nice pictures I found a story with the warning that you don't own bonsai ... they own you. And isn't that also in a way true for knowledge? See Kimchicoffee » Baby I bought a Bonsai for the story.

Google's Techtalks Channel

See "Google's techtalk channel" gives a nice overview of the kind of stuff Google employees are interested in. It's part of the Google culture that in order to extend their (corporate) knowledge base, lectures by authorities on a broad spectrum of issues are offered to employees. These lectures are attended on a voluntary base which respects the employees own responsibility to spend time and to stay on top of things. From several perspectives it's very Interesting to see how and what Google does. It gives you an idea why Google is an often used example for application of post-modern management principles. (f.i. by Gary Hamel in "the future of management")

The Dynamics of Sensemaking, Knowledge, and Expertise

"This ethnographic study investigates how a project group deals with the contradiction between distributed knowledge in boundary-spanning collaborative processes and the expectation that software systems will provide unified, codified knowledge. Group and individual activities were observed over a period of 18 months, to examine the ways knowledge was presented, recognized, shared, or otherwise managed during joint design of business process and IT systems change.

The study explores how knowledge and expertise were translated across organizational boundaries, and identifies four stages in the development of group understanding of how to manage sensemaking and expertise across knowledge boundaries: focus on defining shared goals; acknowledging and sharing tacit knowledge about organizational practice; identifying external influences; and explicit knowledge generation."
