What KM Can Learn from Social Networking

Savvy companies have been engaged in the management of knowledge for 20 years. More recently, communities of practice have become the platform for knowledge sharing. Many have been successful, but others have not generated the kind of enthusiasm needed.

Meanwhile, people are rushing to social networks in droves, pouring out their hearts and souls among friends and strangers, proving that people are eager to share. What can we learn from the network craze? And how can we tap this energy to do a better job of enabling knowledge work?

These issues will be the focus of APQC's next knowledge management community call, hosted by Jerry Ash, publisher of Smart People Magazine. The one-hour call will occur this Thursday, February 19, at 10:30 a.m. central time. Click here to register.
