Social Knowledge: Are You Ready for the Future?John Girard
Knowledge management is the creation, transfer, and exchange of organizational knowledge to gain a competitive advantage. Managers often complain of information overload and waste time locating information. The amount of information in the world is growing exponentially, doubling every few years, making it difficult to gain knowledge and wisdom from all the data and information.
The document discusses the importance of communication for leaders. It states that communication is the leader's primary job function, with leaders spending 80% of their time communicating through phone calls, online interactions, and informal talks. Effective communication is critical for today's complex business environment. The document provides an overview of communication concepts like models of communication, ensuring understanding between parties, and choosing appropriate channels to convey messages. It emphasizes that leadership communication should be purpose-driven to direct attention toward organizational goals.

Digital Literacy - Values in Education Conference 2017Dave Dixon
The document discusses the importance of digital literacy in today's changing digital world. It covers topics like online behaviors, critical literacy strategies, and the need for schools to teach students to safely and responsibly use technology. The overall message is that digital literacy is crucial for students to effectively engage with technology and avoid online risks.
Knowledge Management and Governance ReformSören Bauer
Presentation held as an introduction to Knowledge Management during an Executive Course on strategic communication s for governance reform before participants from the Middle east and Subsaharan Africa - so what are the links between KM, strategic communication and governance reform?!
This document discusses how to connect with "Digital Natives", the generation that has grown up with computers, the internet, and digital technology. It defines Digital Natives as those born in the mid-1990s and after, who process information differently due to constant digital stimulation shaping brain development. Digital Natives are networked, preferring constant online connection; they want instant gratification and access information from anywhere at any time. They are also visual, tactile learners who easily multitask and engage with "gamified" experiences. The document provides insights into how Digital Natives share information, define themselves through online networks and comments, and prefer to learn through interactive experiences over text.
Megasignals: Glocalization and Openness in the Age of Turbulence (Issue 1)Teemu Arina
This document summarizes key topics from Issue 1 of Megasignals, including Glocalization and Openness in the Age of Turbulence.
The first section discusses the concept of a "Glocal Village", where the world is becoming more interconnected through technology but people still view markets and opportunities through local and national lenses. It provides examples of how industries are affected by an increasingly connected world.
The second section covers "Turbulent Finance" and the unprecedented uncertainty in financial systems due to issues like high leverage, quantitative easing, and the risks of another global financial crisis. It notes how most industries will be impacted by shocks to the financial system.
The third section explores "Extreme Openness
Facebook Generation For The Bits Foundation November 12 2009raglandpark
The document discusses generational differences in attitudes towards technology and work. It notes that digital natives, born after 1982, have grown up with technologies like the internet and smartphones. However, others argue this view overgeneralizes and most young people globally do not have access to digital technologies. The document concludes by asking whether organizations should change practices to suit digital natives or focus on improving digital literacy for all.
The document discusses how the world is experiencing unprecedented disruption due to factors like the democratization of information, globalization, and new technologies. It notes that success now depends more on people strategies than processes or technology. The principles of the digital space like participation, sharing knowledge, and building trust globally are not just buzzwords but should inform how organizations design their people, processes, and technologies to engage customers and stakeholders in this changing environment. Performance comes from developing social intelligence within networks of people using tools to connect, collaborate, and execute plans.
Theology of Technology In A High Speed WorldCybermissions
This document discusses various topics related to emerging technologies and their implications from a theological perspective. It covers how technologies are increasing connections between all kinds of entities while also reducing privacy. Big data and sensors are creating new contexts and ways of understanding individuals. Genetic engineering may eventually allow the enhancement and modification of human beings. Many jobs may be replaced by automation and AI. While technologies pose challenges, they can also be used to spread the gospel message more widely. Overall, an emphasis is placed on ensuring technologies support human dignity and do not become idolized or cause further alienation from God.
Knowledge-intensive and innovation-led globalized world
Everyone competes with everyone, self-branding on the rise
The less competent are replaced by those who, in other parts of the world, can do the same for less
The rate of change of the economy requires creative and differentiated workforce
The ability to create value, with creativity and competence, becomes essential for survival in the labor market
But the uniformity of school systems produces almost undifferentiated workforce
The document discusses how human evolution and psychology explain why people are drawn to use the internet and social media. It argues that the internet satisfies fundamental human needs and is an extension of human physiology. As humans evolved to be adaptive, inventive, and reliant on sharing knowledge through culture, the internet is a natural progression that allows sharing of information on a vast scale. This revolutionary change is about public relations, as PR helps spread values and knowledge to build relationships, which is what humans are programmed to do and what the internet now enables.
The media plays an important role in defining who we are, what we desire and what is acceptable (or not) in our reality.
In this talk, we discuss the current state of affairs and discuss how we improve upon it.

This document summarizes Abby Smith Rumsey's views on the impact of innovations in information technology throughout history. It discusses how ancient Greeks developed libraries and techniques of memorization that expanded human memory. Thomas Jefferson believed curiosity was natural and new technologies should advance knowledge. The document questions whether modern digital technologies truly advance these goals. It examines different views on how the internet and screens may be affecting children's cognitive development and information processing. It debates whether digital media provide nutritious "quiche" or empty "mud pies" and questions if computers will make people smarter or erode important forms of thought.
This presentation was given during the Substantive Session of the ECOSOC 2013 meeting, Geneva Switzerland to show the affordable, accessible and appropriate tools making a difference in the lives of United Methodists in the developing world.
The document discusses how multimedia and new technologies are changing literacy and learning. It explores how digital skills are becoming more important as images and visuals are used more commonly to communicate and understand information. While early technologies like the printing press increased literacy, it took many years for illiteracy rates to fall significantly. Similarly, new digital tools may not immediately change social structures but reflect social values over time as their use becomes integrated. Younger generations are growing up in a digital world and demonstrating digital fluency through online activities where they can pursue interests, develop identities and learn outside of school.
This document discusses how digital technologies are changing concepts of materiality, identity, and cognition. It explores how the immaterial can be made material through design, production and cultural innovation processes. New technologies are blurring the boundaries between mind and world, and between reality and play. Our identities are shaped through "identity work and play" using digital tools and virtual environments. The ubiquity of technologies and their integration into many aspects of life are transforming human experience and relationships in complex ways.
The document is a presentation by John P. Girard titled "Are You Ready for the Future?" It discusses how maximizing sales through electronic marketing and understanding knowledge management can provide a competitive advantage.

Big Data: A Decision Maker’s Friend, Phantom, or Foe? John Girard
John Girard's IACIS 2014 keynote: Big Data: A Decision Maker’s Friend, Phantom, or Foe?
In the past three years there has been a 10-fold increase in Google searches for the term “Big Data.” Clearly there is considerable interest in the term; however, is Big Data helping executives make better decisions? Does Big Data empower, liberate, or overwhelm decision makers?
The document is a series of slides from a presentation on knowledge management and knowledge sharing. It discusses various topics like the differences between data, information and knowledge. It also covers types of knowledge, how knowledge is exchanged and transferred, challenges and enablers of knowledge sharing, and the role of technology and leadership in knowledge sharing. The document uses examples, diagrams, quotes and references to discuss these topics over the course of 13 slides.
On November 18th, 2008, John P. Girard, Ph.D. will led a live web conferencing session focusing on narrative tools and techniques to facilitate knowledge sharing. After briefly reviewing the theory of storytelling, John described the types of stories available to organizational leaders. The session culminated with a case study of storytelling in action. Three stories were reviewed with a view of determining the key elements of success.

Digital citizenship involves understanding how to balance personal and professional identities online as good digital citizens. It is important to know your audience and speak with an appropriate voice. While technology enhances our lives, too much use can lead to issues like lack of focus, addiction, and promoting self-centeredness over empathy. As our brains change with constant online stimulation, we must find ways to cope like mindfulness and taking breaks from technology to allow for reflection.
The document discusses different perspectives on generational differences, particularly between older generations and younger "digital native" students. It explores conflicting views on how technology has impacted learning styles and skills. Experts are cited arguing both that students' technology immersion has fundamentally changed their thinking, and questioning assumptions about generational gaps and students' technical competence. The document also questions approaches that mimic students' online environments versus guiding their learning.
This document discusses the role of intuition, authenticity, and passion in philanthropic fundraising work. It explores how intuitive and "right brain" thinking is important in this field. Improving these abilities through practices like mindfulness can enrich one's life and work. The document references various researchers and thinkers on topics like emotional intelligence, pattern recognition, empathy, play, and finding meaning and purpose. Overall, it promotes an intuitive approach to philanthropy that draws on deep human connection and understanding.
1) The document discusses how social networks and Web 2.0 tools can positively transform research, teaching, and service for academics if they build serious academic lives online.
2) It explores concepts like knowledge, the human thought process, coding languages, and how media and society have shifted with increased access to digital tools and networks.
3) Examples are provided of how networks can increase the power of audiences, support learning, and enable teaching/learning online through meaningful collaboration and sharing of information.
Making Decisions in a World Awash in Data: We’re going to need a different bo...Micah Altman
In his abstract, Scriffignano summarizes as follows:
l explore some of the ways in which the massive availability of data is changing and the types of questions we must ask in the context of making business decisions. Truth be told, nearly all organizations struggle to make sense out of the mounting data already within the enterprise. At the same time, businesses, individuals, and governments continue to try to outpace one another, often in ways that are informed by newly-available data and technology, but just as often using that data and technology in alarmingly inappropriate or incomplete ways. Multiple “solutions” exist to take data that is poorly understood, promising to derive meaning that is often transient at best. A tremendous amount of “dark” innovation continues in the space of fraud and other bad behavior (e.g. cyber crime, cyber terrorism), highlighting that there are very real risks to taking a fast-follower strategy in making sense out of the ever-increasing amount of data available. Tools and technologies can be very helpful or, as Scriffignano puts it, “they can accelerate the speed with which we hit the wall.” Drawing on unstructured, highly dynamic sources of data, fascinating inference can be derived if we ask the right questions (and maybe use a bit of different math!). This session will cover three main themes: The new normal (how the data around us continues to change), how are we reacting (bringing data science into the room), and the path ahead (creating a mindset in the organization that evolves). Ultimately, what we learn is governed as much by the data available as by the questions we ask. This talk, both relevant and occasionally irreverent, will explore some of the new ways data is being used to expose risk and opportunity and the skills we need to take advantage of a world awash in data.
WLMA 14 Conference Keynote PPT - Paige Jaeger: Connecting Creatively with the CCPaige Jaeger
Washington Library Media Association Conference Keynote - It was my pleasure to share ways to challenge, reach and teach the Millennials at your conference! Carpe Diem! Let us think!
This document summarizes a presentation about open scholarship and connected learning. It discusses how knowledge is acquired and shared, from human thought to various coding languages. It also examines shifts towards more open and collaborative models of learning, including the rise of open content online and network literacies. Key barriers like power and control are addressed. The importance of collaboration, critical thinking, and questioning established ideas are emphasized in developing 21st century learning networks.
The document discusses how networks and connectivity are reshaping education. It notes that more video is uploaded to YouTube every month than the major US television networks created in 60 years. Knowledge is now freely available online like air or water. While age is not a determining factor, access and opportunities create a digital divide. Network literacy including understanding how networks work is an important 21st century skill. Learning is becoming more open and social through networks, with learners gaining knowledge from many online sources rather than just educators. The paradigm is shifting from isolated learning to learning through diverse social networks.
21st century skills NCE, Ede, the NetherlandsMichael Harris
Essential skills for the 21st century classroom include:
1. Information handling, critical thinking, self-directed learning, global awareness, intercultural competence, communication, and digital connections.
2. Some of the key skills are self-directed learning, being able to learn on your own; digital literacy, using digital media to communicate and get information; and developing critical thinking to evaluate information critically.
3. Teachers need to incorporate online research skills, blended learning, and opportunities for collaboration to help students develop these 21st century skills.
This document discusses the skills needed to navigate our increasingly digital world. It outlines several "new literacies" including play, performance, simulation, appropriation, multitasking, distributed cognition, collective intelligence, judgment, transmedia navigation, networking, negotiation, design, story, symphony, empathy, and play. These skills allow people to meaningfully engage with tools and media, collaborate with others, and find purpose in today's society. The document advocates for libraries and schools to help cultivate these skills in young people.
Future Trends: Will Libraries Be At The Table? discusses how libraries must adapt to remain relevant in a changing information landscape. It notes that technology and the internet are still in their infancy and driving major shifts like the rise of the social web. The document argues that libraries should focus on evolving areas like mobility, social media, and building knowledge portals to better serve user needs. It emphasizes measuring impact and collaborating over traditional metrics to advocate for the library's role in building critical connections between information, knowledge, and learning.
The document discusses the changing nature of organizations and culture in a complex and uncertain world. It notes that traditional hierarchies are giving way to more fluid and networked structures known as "wirearchies." Wirearchies allow for two-way information flows based on trust and expertise rather than formal levels of authority. They are better suited for a world characterized by continuous change, unpredictable outcomes, and an uncertain future that is increasingly difficult to predict.
This document discusses emerging trends in media and technology. It notes that paradigms are shifting as broadcast media integrates with social media to create personal media. It also discusses how Moore's Law is driving increases in speed, connectivity, mobility and lowering costs. Finally, it suggests next generation thinkers value technology, expression, peer production and critical thinking over stored knowledge.
Presentation from October 4, 2015: Arts Midwest Orchestras 20/20: Context, Connection, Collaboration. An attempt to lay out the context of audience, competition, technology and strategy - then a set of practical steps to get things done.
This document summarizes Stephen Abram's presentation on "Future Ready Libraries: Seducing the Customer". The presentation discusses how libraries must evolve to remain relevant by focusing on customer needs and questions, building knowledge portals to provide integrated information, and emphasizing quality over specific formats like books. It also stresses the importance of social media and information literacy programs to help patrons develop critical thinking skills. The key is for libraries to innovate by focusing on major shifts like the rise of social media and measuring their impact and value through analytics.

1. It provides a brief biography of John P. Girard and lists some of his publications on knowledge management from 2009 to 2018.
2. It discusses the definition of knowledge management, presenting the most common words that appear in definitions and Girard's proposed definition as "the process of creating, sharing, using and managing the knowledge and information of an organization."
3. It examines the evolution of knowledge management over time from KM 1.0 to 2.0 and 2.5, exploring different conceptions of knowledge, information, and wisdom. It also references models like
Is Big Data the new Knowledge Management (KM)? John Girard
Keynote ICKSE 2018: In the past six years, there has been an eight-fold increase in Google searches for the term “Big Data.” Clearly, there is considerable interest in the term; however, is Big Data helping executives make better decisions? Does Big Data empower, liberate, or overwhelm decision makers? After briefly tracing the roots of this new domain, John shared case studies of Big Data in action through the lens of knowledge management. This thought-provoking and rather critical exploration was designed to encourage researchers to rethink if Big Data should be in their knowledge management research agenda.

Simple Ideas - Abu Dhabi Chamber of CommerceJohn Girard
This document discusses various topics related to knowledge management including:
- Definitions of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. Knowledge is broadly defined to include information, data, communication, and culture.
- Different types of knowledge including tacit knowledge that is harder to articulate and explicit knowledge that is easier to share.
- Models for the exchange and transfer of knowledge between tacit and explicit forms.
- The importance of leadership, culture, measurement, process, and technology in enabling knowledge sharing. Open leadership principles are outlined.
- The difference between known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns and how this relates to organizational knowledge.
Leading Knowledge - John Girard - Abu DhabiJohn Girard
This document discusses knowledge management and information overload. It begins by explaining that Sagology is dedicated to connecting people to facilitate knowledge sharing. It then discusses how information overload occurs when the amount of information exceeds one's processing capacity, and how this poses problems for individuals and organizations. The document outlines strategies for organizing knowledge and highlights the importance of knowledge sharing for achieving competitive advantage. It emphasizes that effective knowledge management is crucial for guiding organizations successfully into the future.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

2/3 of managers complained of
Information overload (KPMG, 2000)
CHAPTER 1
THE WHERE
Managers “dwell on information that
is entertaining but not informative, or
easily available but not of high
quality” (Linden, 2001, p.2)
43% of the managers delayed
decisions because of too much
information. (Wilson, 2001)
38% of the surveyed managers
waste a substantial amount of time
locating information (Wilson, 2001)
The number of books published annually has increased exponentially since
the 16th century. At present, the prediction is that the number of books
doubles every 33 years (Hanka & Fuka, 2000).
Where is the wisdom we have lost in
knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have
lost in information?
—T. S. Eliot, The Rock (1935)
The total accumulated codified database of the world, which includes all
books and all electronic files, doubles every seven years and some predict
this will double twice a day by 2010 (Bontis, 2000).

The
Right
Message
Storytelling
by
Steve
Denning
Snowden,
‘we
can
always
know
more
than
we
can
tell,
and
we
will
always
tell
more
than
we
can
write
down.’
In
June
of
1995,
a
health
worker
in
a
�ny
town
in
Zambia
went
to
the
Web
site
of
the
Centers
for
Disease
Control
and
got
the
answer
to
a
ques�on
about
the
treatment
for
malaria.
Remember
that
this
was
in
Zambia,
one
of
the
poorest
countries
in
the
world,
and
it
happened
in
a
�ny
place
600
kilometers
from
the
capital
city.
But
the
most
striking
thing
about
this
picture,
at
least
for
us,
is
that
the
World
Bank
isn't
in
it.
Despite
our
know-‐how
on
all
kinds
of
poverty
related
issues,
that
knowledge
isn‘t
available
to
the
millions
of
people
who
could
use
It.
Imagine
if
it
were.
Think
what
an
organiza�on
we
could
become.
However,
Snowden
suggests:
I
can
speak
in
five
minutes
what
it
will
otherwise
take
me
two
weeks
to
get
round
to
spend
a
couple
of
hours
wri�ng
it
down.
The
process
of
wri�ng
something
down
is
reflec�ve
knowledge;
it
involves
both
adding
and
taking
away
from
the
actual
experience
or
original
thought.
Reflec�ve
knowledge
has
high
value,
but
is
�me
consuming
and
involves
loss
of
control
over
its
subsequent
use.
