In
a recent conversation with Darlene Shaw, chief knowledge officer of SPAWAR (Space
and Naval Warfare Systems Command), the topic turned to sports. Well, sort of.
Without getting into too much detail right now, I'll just say that something
Darlene did provided a data point that corroborated my own experience. So,
wanting to do some research that I think will be both fun and useful, I created
a survey to collect more than just our two data points.Here's
a link to the survey. I'd be surprised if it takes you more than 90 seconds
to complete, so I hope that you'll be willing to participate. In fact, if you
like it, please feel free to pass the link along to others. Of course, this
survey is unscientific, may have frame error, and will definitely not be
assessed for validity or reliability. But I still think the results may be fun
to report.
I
won't collect any user-identifiable data. And neither I nor APQC endorses the
use of the survey application (when you click submit, it sends you to the
company's home page). It just happened to be something I could access easily.
So play along with me, and hopefully within a week or so I'll have enough
responses to report them and explain the back-story to this survey.

It is fun to guess the reason behind too.
Any sport involves skill so I don't think it is about learning... I guess it may be related to individual sports or team sports. May be KM practitioners unconsciously enjoy team sports because KM is a people stuff?
