Day 1 - Tuesday 4th December
Overview
As the day progressed, I ended up thinking more and more about “Knowledge Management” as it appeared in difference guises throughout the day. Knowledge Management was undoubtedly THE buzz word a few years ago but didn’t really to take off. However, the Wiki seems to have helped to changed this. The Muppet Wikia (created by people with a hobby or should it be an obsession?) and ERM’s Minerva (created solely for competitive advantage) are basically using the same technology to disseminate and collate information but for very different purposes and audiences.
Finally……..
I now know how a library book feels. The ubiquitous name badge includes a barcode which has be scanned by conference staff before delegates can enter any conference room or the exhibition. Wonder what they are going to do with all the data?

Knowledge management is certainly still a useful and relevant term, but I think the two examples highlight that you need to know and understand why the management is required in order to enable it. For Muppet Wikia this is the mutual interest of the this self-forming community, for ERM it is the competitive advantage they gain.
Knowledge management is carried out by libraries through their website to a degree, though full knowledge management probably can't take place completely in isolation and needs to involve a library's users for full effect.
