I'm beginning to get a little weary of the top-down vs bottom-up divide. It's a small point, but isn't the real paydirt what you might call the side-to-side?
My italics and bold..but what an important point. There is a lot of focus on point-source blogs - where often a single blog is used as a communication channel, allowing, for example, a CEO to "connect" with employees, and to get some real and direct feedback.
Yeah - that's interesting, and for some companies it's even a breakthrough - and I'm speaking from my own consulting experience here with some recent work. But, and here's the point that needs to be emphasized - the CEO blog should be the thin end of the wedge, not the end-goal. Getting senior members of the company blogging should result in more understanding and adoption of blogging, with the aim of creating an internal blogosphere. Why is that good ? Because that's when you start to reap the benefits of being able to aggregate, tag, subscribe, connect, datamine, and share all that information (sometimes known as knowledge) - and not in a formally mandated ("here's your KM template form to fill in to share knowledge") way.

- the risk of defamatory material being posted. "best blogs are a little bit edgy"
- negative comments - referenced the mini-microsoft blog "does bill gates or other shareholders want to be reading negative comments - what does it do the share value"
- lots of other stuff
OK – I seem to be turning into a bit of a Euan Semple fanboy – but this article about him is great.
Running the unusual line between rebelling against senior-management expectations and over-delivery on objectives seems to be Euan Semple’s forte. Since his appointment as head of KM solutions at the BBC, he has jumpstarted collaboration and knowledge sharing among employees on a budget that would make most software vendors squirm.
Anyone know if the upcoming London KM Cluster event is actually happening or not ? Link to sign up page still doesn’t work, and lots of linkage to last year’s event.
Worrying – I think I might just bail on this now as I have other committments. Ah well, I guess I’ll see many people at Les Blogs.
Course topics for a KM Course at the University of Texas. Looks really interesting, and the plenty of resources and links and material on the UT site.
