If Technology is the Answer, What's the Question? | Above and Beyond KM - 0 views

  • they discovered that the real question to be answered was not the one the client had identified and that the right answer had very little to do with technology.
  • Livio’s advice was to take the time to analyze properly what was really going on in your firm from a process, behavior and cultural perspective.  Next, identify a range of possible solutions and see if there aren’t grassroots, low-key, tiny spend ways of testing some of these solutions in a variety of safe-fail pilots. Then, finally, make your choice.
  • After all, we rarely need to find and reuse every item in the DMS.  We’re usually just looking for “something good” and would be glad to accept a document recommended by a trusted source in our network.

  • So, before you leap to the conclusion that a particular big ticket technology “solution” is the answer, make sure you really understand the question.

  •  
    "The intranet currently forms an integral part of the internal communication strategy in most organizations as an information provider and collaboration tool. But social media also allows collaboration, dialogue, documentation and much more, at a lower cost and with much less back-end work involved. In this report we look at the future of the much-loved intranet and it's chances of survival in a web 2.0 world."

Has 'IT' Killed 'KM'? | 3 Geeks and a Law Blog on Jul 2, 2009 - 0 views

  • I think that Knowledge Management (KM) has become so overwhelmed with technology products that the individuals in KM have become ‘tech support’ rather than knowledge managers. Yesterday, I read two different articles that reinforced my conception of what I think is a major flaw in the idea of “Knowledge Management” within law firms.
  • Penny Edwards’ articles on Social Networking for the Legal Profession. Edwards mentions that the approach we take to capturing “knowledge” is a hold over of the 1990’s IT ‘centralized’, or as she put it in her book “Industrial Technology.”
  • In my opinion, this type of self-cataloging and attempt at creating a ultra-structured system creates a process that is: difficult to use; doesn’t fit the way that lawyers conduct their day-to-day work; gives a false sense of believing that the knowledge has been captured and can be easily recovered; leads to user frustration and “work around” methods; and results in expensive, underutilized software resources.

  • that the answer to pulling KM out of the 20th Century structure is to get away from the centralization method and begin re-learning the way that lawyers conduct their business. They identify that the source of lawyers’ “ideas, knowledge, leads, business opportunities, support, trust and co-operation” are developed through their social interactions.

HOW TO: Use Wikis for Business Projects | Mashable on Jul 1, 2009 - 0 views

  • Nearly all wikis dispense with advanced page and text formatting, instead embracing a “just the facts” approach to documentation, that can actually be refreshing.
  • Removing the ability to spend time formatting content removes the feeling that the content needs more than basic formatting. Where people aren’t spending time on formatting they’re likely to spend it on just writing and moving on.
  • So in addition to learning the new wiki software and the cultural shift that comes with it, team members must also unlearn what they already know about how projects are documented and information is organized.

  • Email is most often the channel that the wiki-wary fall back on during this kind of transition, and the most dangerous for locking knowledge into a recipient list.
  • Mashable () has also published two large round ups of available wiki software in the past year: 30+ Solutions to Start Your Own Wiki and 100+ More Wiki Tools and Resources.
  •  
    "One of the best web tools available to businesses for enabling teamwork and collaboration is the wiki. (...) Though Wikis have been around since the 90s, their potential for business collaboration has made them more popular in the business world over the past few years. While a wiki can let project documentation grow organically as a project unfolds, it is like any tool and needs to be used the right way to get the most out of it. If you're thinking about using a wiki in your team's toolkit for the first time, keeping a few points in mind will help everyone get up and running without tripping over the changes that the wiki way brings to project documentation."
