Since information is power,
              such innovations are often met
                 with scepticism and fear.

But we must try to overcome
                our scepticism and fears by
              learning to see the value these
                     innovations bring.

As individuals, many of us
                are already using these
              tools to enrich and simplify

At work the mantra is
“Communication. Communication.
      Communication.”
o rganization
The world is now flat.
Today, project teams use amazing web tools
to work together from
  anywhere in the world.
It’s a whole
    new paradigm.
Our question today:

                 How can an organization
                improve collaboration with
              these simple and social tools?

What About
          Knowledge Management?



© Acando AB
The “Rules” of Business Are Changing


  The basis of the
  operation is the                 Knowledge-based
  structure of the
     activities.
                                                     The basis of the
                                                     operation is the
                                                      knowledge of
                                                       individuals.

The Knowledge Management Problem


● Knowledge is often stored in private
  notebooks and in peoples heads
  (tacit knowledge)

● Knowledge is typically exchanged
  ad hoc and informally person-to-
  person




    © Acando AB
The Problem with Knowledge Management version 1.0


● Really not about people

● Knowledge treated as
  a separate "thing"

● Knowledge management
  seen as a separate act

● No return on contributions

● Does not blend with human
  nature


    © Acando AB
What Web 2.0 Brings to Knowledge Management


● Simple and social tools enable a convenient and user-driven way to
  capture tacit knowledge and build collective intelligence

             Blogs            Social Network
                                                          Wikis

  the water coolers

       from a „need to know culture‟ to a
       „need to share culture‟.
                                                   ”
