3/16/2018 06: 22 6 -44 Transforming knowledge 0 Tacit to Tacit - E-meetings, Synchronous collaboration (chat) 0 Explicit to Tacit - Visualization, Browsable video/audio of representations 0 Tacit to Explicit - Answering questions, Annotations 0 Explicit to Explicit - Text search, Document categorization
3/16/2018 06: 22 6 -45 Evolving communities of practice 0 Communities of Practice - The concept of a community of practice (often abbreviated as Co. P) refers to the process of social learning that occurs when people who have a common interest in some subject or problem collaborate over an extended period to share ideas, find solutions, and build innovations. It refers as well to the stable group that is formed from such regular interactions. 0 Communities of Interest - A Community of interest is a community of people who share a common interest or passion 0 Relationship between - Communities of Action, Communities of Circumstance, Communities of Position, Communities of Practice, Communities of Purpose, Community of inquiry
3/16/2018 06: 22 6 -46 Evolving communities of practice: Model 0 Potential stage - A community is formed; E. g. , connection 0 Building stage - The community defines itself and formalizes its operating principles; E. g. , Memory and context creation 0 Engaged stage - The community executes and improves its processes; e. g. , Access and learning 0 Active stage - The community understands and demonstrates benefits from knowledge management and the collective work of the community; e. g. , Collaboration 0 Adaptive stage - The community and its supporting organizations are using knowledge for competitive advantage; e. g. , Innovation and generation
3/16/2018 06: 22 6 -47 Human and social factors 0 Some consider knowledge management to consist of capturing, organizing, and retrieving information (e. g. , data mining, text clustering, databases, etc. ) 0 Its important to realize that knowledge is closely bound together with human cognition, and the management of knowledge occurs within a structured social context 0 Therefore some strongly argue that those designing knowledge management systems must take into consideration the human and social factors 0 Therefore what we need is socially informed knowledge management – combining social computing and knowledge socialization 0 Therefore theories must include economic, behavioral and social models
3/16/2018 06: 22 6 -48 Different perspectives of knowledge management 0 Knowledge management to some is intellectual capital while some others focus on technology. Yet a third group focuses on community building 0 Technology dimensions will focus on groupware, collaboration tools and mining products 0 Logistical dimensions will focus on knowledge capture, storage, retrieval, etc. 0 The social dimension will focus on sharing knowledge between communities, coaching, mentoring etc. 0 We need all three dimensional for successful knowledge management
