About a decade ago Knowledge Management (KM), was the focus of business and technology leaders alike. But after only a few years in the limelight, KM all but disappeared. Still smoldering, however, knowledge management morphed, to a series of related applications, technologies and practices. Among these are/were portals, intranets, BI, collaboration and two that are [...]
Information Architected Market Alert (IAM Alert):

Yesterday I tweeted (@carlfrappaolo) about a Boston Globe article on ECM search company, Endeca. I was going to let it go at that; congratulations Endeca for getting the attention of the Sunday Globe and for having the popular press cover the fact that search is more than just findability and Google, that search can be [...]
OK, I admit it. I do not spend all my weekends sitting around thinking deep ECM and KM thoughts. I enjoy hanging out with the kids and indulging in some mindless TV watching. Its amazing though how the KM/ECM geek in me will sometimes connect the two – mindless TV and ECM/KM that is.
Last night [...]
Today I had the great fortune to attend the Center for Information Management Studies (CIMS) program at Babson College. I almost didn’t go – having just returned from the Enterprise 2.0 conference, I was feeling a bit “full” of talk on collaboration and technology. But luckily three things coerced me into attending.
1. The event was [...]
Yesterday I was preparing for an Innovation Management training session I will be doing later this week. The sponsor, after reviewing my credentials asked “How you make the leap from information and knowledge management to coaching/developing innovation
skills? … Your background seems to be IT.”
I provided what I hope was not too lengthy a response. In [...]
I have said it before, as have many others, Enterprise 2.0 is not just about technology. As I have commented on, this was a common theme at this year’s Enterprise 2.0 conference. Indeed, if web-based collaboration were only about the technology, then any organization with even a modest IT budget would be doing it and [...]
As I blogged about in my summation of the
Enterprise 2.0 summit, innovation was a popular term being tossed around at the conference. New web-based social networks provide new, wider, leaner and more agile environments in which to collaborate, group think and brainstorm, leading to innovation.
But there is (obviously?) more to innovation than simply being able [...]
In marketing his most recent white paper for KMWorld, Andy Moore wrote:
“For decades, it’s been a promise. But knowledge management is finally possible. That’s because social networking MAKES it possible. By allowing fast, easy and lightweight collaboration between individuals and workgroups, tools such as user forums, blogs, wikis and their ilk have finally made good [...]
Is the legal industry ready to change their standard practices in billing, particularly given the economic climate of 2008-2009 and at least the short-term future?
If they do change that model, will it least, or go back to “business as usual” when the economic smoke has cleared?
Knowledge = precedent = expertise. Why not efficiency and effectiveness [...]
