Most companies today struggle with their rapidly growing volume of critical corporate knowledge. A large amount of useful information is trapped in information silos, such as email inboxes. There is also a gap in understanding and knowing where organizational expertise and talent reside in the organization. Add to this the loss of organizational knowledge when employees leave the company. The paradox of this is the increased dependency on information and knowledge technology for innovation and building value. The Enterprise Social Media market has grown rapidly in the few years and the rate of growth is accelerating. Companies are adopting cloud technologies to reduce the costs of maintaining larger and larger sets of data. Cloud technologies also facilitate the use of mobile platforms and tablet devices, which are providing employees with unprecedented access to information. The rapid pace of change, the need to innovate quickly, dispersed and remote workforces, and increased customer demands make capturing and utilizing corporate knowledge even more challenging. A strategic approach to providing both knowledge management and collaboration is needed. It should be seamless and an integral of business operations. Knowledge Management / Collaboration is not just technology. It is not just storing documents. It is not having an internal social media site or utilizing instant messaging. It is about sharing and collaborating. That is frequently the most difficult challenge. It is often a cultural challenge.

A winning knowledge management program increases staff productivity, product and service quality, and deliverable consistency by capitalizing on intellectual and knowledge-based assets. Many organizations leap into a knowledge management solution (e.g. document management, data mining, blogging, and community forums) without first considering the purpose or objectives they wish to fulfill or how the organization will adopt and follow best practices for managing its knowledge assets long term.

Knowledge relates to all the capital owned by people and staff of a company: know-how & expertise, competencies, market experiences etc. Knowledge management helps companies turn this human capital into intellectual capital by creating value. Unlike content management, Knowledge Management (KM) is not only about storing documents. It is about increasing people skills and expertise thanks to sharing.

"The disintermediation based on the digital technology has transformed different environments, from banking to media, education and sales. This paper explores a new kind of disintermediation or re-intermediation; also called cyberintermediation. The paper analyses how the revolution of information and communication technologies provides new alternatives of disintermediation in the generation and distribution of knowledge. The authors raise questions such as: To what extent is this phenomenon reshaping the traditional role of the university? Will it cause a crisis in the educational institutions? Will this disintermediation of the education evolve towards the disappearance of institutions like schools and universities? The researchers propose a table that integrates and recombines the knowledge generation and knowledge distribution dimensions with Boyer's key functions of scholarship. Finally, the concept of knowledge broker is introduced to enrich the discussion about reintermediation. Beyond the prophecies, which announce the "death of the university", the authors discuss and suggest new agents, actions and transactions that are useful to think about the educational institution of the new century".

The London Knowledge Lab is a unique collaboration between two of the UK's most prominent centres of research - the Institute of Education and Birkbeck. The Lab brings together computer and social scientists from a very broad range of fields, including: education, sociology, culture and media, semiotics, computational intelligence, information management, personalisation, semantic web ubiquitous technologies. This means that issues can be tackled from many different perspectives, and this is reflected in our mission, to Understand the place of digital technologies and media in our cultural, social and educational relationships with knowledge - finding, acquiring, creating, and sharing it; Design, build and evaluate systems, processes and interfaces that enhance these relationships; and Examine critically the assumptions about knowledge and learning that underlie the increasingly wide range of applications of digital technologies.

Paper by Phillip Marsh (2005) Knowledge Management is one of the most misunderstood management disciplines in business imperatives today, partially due to the early rush by software vendors to produce the "see all - tell all" panacea for leveraging intellectual capital, which was all the rage in the late 1990s. As with all important endeavours, planning is the cornerstone of success and embarking on a voyage into Knowledge Management is no different. Although, if one considers the millions of Rands wasted on unsuccessful attempts, one would not think so.

This 10-step Knowledge Management road map will guide you through strategizing, designing, developing, and implementing a KM initiative that delivers business impact. Learn how to build an effective road map for developing an idiosyncratic knowledge strategy that is unique to your company.

Knowledge acquisition, its exchange, and communication within innovative technologies are the core research topics at the Knowledge Media Research Center in Tuebingen. Study matters are classic forms of teaching as well as in-class education in higher education and school domains, together with possibilities of learning in informal settings, as in museums, the internet and workspaces. A multidisciplinary team of highly trained scientists from cognitive and educational sciences, human behavioral sciences and social sciences is completed by experts from media technology and computer science. By cooperating closely with public and private institutions and by transferring research results into real world applications, the institute makes a substantial contribution to enable innovative media-based teaching and learning scenarios.

The Intelligent Community Forum is a think tank that studies the economic and social development of the 21st Century community.  Whether in industrialized or developing nations, communities are challenged to create prosperity, stability and cultural meaning in a world where jobs, investment and knowledge increasingly depend on advances in communications.  For the 21st Century community, connectivity is a double-edge sword: threatening established ways of life on the one hand, and offering powerful new tools to build prosperous, inclusive and sustainable economies on the other.  ICF seeks to share the best practices of the world's Intelligent Communities in adapting to the demands of the Broadband Economy, in order to help communities everywhere find sustainable renewal and growth.

A disruptive technology or disruptive innovation is an innovation that helps create a new market and value network, and eventually goes on to disrupt an existing market and value network. The term is used in business and technology literature to describe innovations that improve a product or service in ways that the market does not expect.

Almost 30 years ago, researchers began a systematic study of innovation by end users and user firms. At that time, the phenomenon was generally regarded as a minor oddity. Today, it is clear that innovation by users, generally openly shared, is a very powerful and general phenomenon.
