Although there's been much talk about the evolution of KM and the new ways of collaborating--through social networking, virtual worlds, and the like--it strikes me as interesting that, not only have some long-running KM issues not been solved, but they've resurfaced as important topics. From data points like our monthly APQC KM community calls, request for quotes we receive, and recent conversations with APQC members, four issues seem to stand out: taxonomy, expertise location, best practices, and lessons learned.
Recently, I learned of some taxonomy development projects at a few large-scale organizations, including one very significant software provider. The fact that these organizations are still considering developing enterprise taxonomy at a time when everyone seems to just "google" everything is a bit surprising to me. What, if anything, does this say about folksonomies?
