Introduction to WEB 2.0:   a. Question audience: “What is your understanding of 2.0; BOK is using it in their  Free Checking 2.0 ad campaign.”    b. KMRM answer: “Original purpose of “?.0” was to indicate program and software  updates. Web 2.0 is not an update to the web, it’s an update in understanding of  the new way the web works and new ways you can use it. It makes the web  collaborative, i.e. something to embrace instead of something that imposes  information.  c. Web 2.0 thinking began in 2004 by Tim O’Reilly of O’Reilly Media, Inc. at the  Web 2.0 conference. Internet was evolving. Article is referenced on the KMRM  website blog posting for the KPM Symposium.  i. Web is changing from static to dynamic web pages; less like reading a  brochure; now users have more interaction with the platform.  ii. Enterprise 2.0 (E2.0) takes tools of Web 2.0 and concepts of KM into  everyday business; new tools make collaboration easier and less imposed  or outside of everyday work.  iii. E2.0 term coined in 2006 by Andrew McAfee, Assoc. Professor at Harvard  Business School.  d. Briefly go over outline of the balance of the presentation so they know what to  expect:  i. Is KM dead?  ii. A modern‐day “tale” case study  iii. Social computing  iv. Ideas to Make it Real. Take it Home  v.

Is KM dead? (We pondered this while preparing for this presentation. Snowden &  Prusak interview suggest KM is in transformation; being re‐thought; and returning  to the “real” KM.) Video is referenced on the KMRM website blog posting for the  KPM Symposium.  a. Question audience: “Is KM dead? Yes or No?”  b. KMRM answer: If yes, why are you here? If no, why is this being questioned by  KM leaders around the world?  c. Question audience: “How many can articulate what “KM” is to clients or peers?   d. KMRM answer: “If selling the concept of KM, we ought to be able to articulate  what it is.”  i. Traditional KM (or KM 1.0)   1. Heavy focus on TECHNOLOGY: traditional knowledge capture  tools are used, including content management systems, ERP  systems, taxonomies, groupware, server files, directories; basically  volumes of unused vaults of information. Often these systems were  imposed and they may or may not be used. Perhaps why KM is  dying?!?  a. KM 1.0 didn’t care  b. KM 1.0 doesn’t work because knowledge is NOT  transferable  2. The real KM is PEOPLE, process and technology. In KM 1.0 the  human element was almost always missing.   ii. Enterprise 2.0 can help better explain & accomplish KM. It allows your  organization to embrace it; it provides a collision of abstract theory with  everyday business. We’re giving you a way to “Make it Real. Take it  Home.”  e. TECHNOLOGY. KM 1.0 is no longer practical in the 21st Century because it’s no  longer about storing knowledge, but about knowledge just in time.  f. PEOPLE. Web 2.0 enters the business world; beginnings of Enterprise 2.0 SEGUE:  How we used INNOVATIVE solution for our client.    III. A modern‐day “tale” case study:   a. Story  i. Client request = KM 1.0 to document processes. They thought they knew  what they wanted, They started with a business problem. Ultimately, we  found the solution using a Web 2.0 tool and involved employees to enable  processes to become dynamic.  1. The client “thought” they were being innovative with KM 1.0  techniques by documenting intangible knowledge into tangible  knowledge by way of static documented business processes, e.g.  printed notebooks and digital copy on internal server.  KMRM.com  •  P.O. Box 33055  •  Tulsa, OK 74153  •  Michelle Farabough, 918‐633‐0825  •  Ken Lewis, 918‐691‐1154

Information would have only been accessible IF someone could  find the information while they were at work. Updating the  information seemed unlikely.  ii. TECHNOLOGY. We proposed a Web 2.0 technology (wiki); client was  reluctant  iii. PEOPLE. Segue to specifics of social computing and E2.0… from data‐ centric to people‐driven applications, e.g. how people use data    b. Culture 1.0   i. The vice president (VP) of solutions didn’t think he needed to embrace  the wiki because he believed his department was already transparent and  adequately sharing information. However, for example, the VP of  engineering needed costing information not already made available. The  VP of solutions said, “Tell me which information you want us to make  accessible, to which the VP of engineering said “I don’t know what I need  until I need it and by then I don’t want to have to wait for it.”   ii. TECHNOLOGY. This was the beginning of the bridge to E2.0 and use of  Web 2.0 technologies into the daily work‐life. We encouraged the use of  the wiki for project management, meeting agendas, project kick‐off notes,  materials delivery updates, scheduling milestones, etc…    iii. PROCESS/ORGANIZATION. Important to make E2.0 part of everyday!  1. Example: Worker in shop created an engineering solution that  otherwise wouldn’t have happened if the communication of  information was via email or meeting or standard 1.0 ways of  doing business instead of on the wiki. The traditional hierarchy  dictates that the shop worker doesn’t need to know the  information.  iv. PEOPLE. Emotional intelligence and improved organizational culture is  crucial for success in getting the PEOPLE element into the process. We  interviewed key managers, as well as shop workers, and ultimately found  a solution from talking with a large sample of all employees.    IV. E2.0, i.e. “Social Computing,” i.e. introducing a new business culture  a. Question audience: “What IS social computing? What “could” have happened  using all Web 2.0 technology available? What “could” have happened if the  TECHNOLOGY tools were used alone, without personal buy in?”   b. KMRM answer: “Now “PEOPLE” are part of it! That allows a culture change in the  way we do things (PROCESS/ORGANIZATION)  i. Make social computing part of daily work‐life.   ii. Sharing knowledge becomes an added effect/benefit of work.   iii. E2.0 allows not just information, but info in context. “While we’re doing  our project, we leave footprints in the system…” With Web 2.0 tools we  can do this with wiki comments boxes, meeting agenda note pages,  KMRM.com  •  P.O. Box 33055  •  Tulsa, OK 74153  •  Michelle Farabough, 918‐633‐0825  •  Ken Lewis, 918‐691‐1154

PEOPLE. Social computing offers a platform for organizations to become more  healthy   i. Sharing of information is now peer monitored, not hierarchical; this equal  give and take encourages employees to feel free to share information.  ii. Mention the Learning Organization ten step theory: a feeling of safety  required; there is a need for a new culture of openness.    iii.

Structured vs. open environment. Wiki front‐page design was  customized for employee needs and wants, e.g. weather link,  dictionary link. Wiki became the company’s intranet.   2. There was resistance. Top management was concerned about the  personalized “facebook”‐type employee pages, fearing the wiki  would become a play toy.   3. Tell mom and corporate blogging story.  f.
