Oh my gawd ...

via The Obvious? by Euan [Semple] 21 April


The nightmare that called itself knowledge management would appear to be attempting to morph into wisdom management. Abandon faith all ye who enter ....

Hazel's comment:
Abandon wisdom if you think you can manage it -- most people can't even define it!
And as one commenter on this post said, we need to step back and manage information properly before moving beyond knowledge into wisdom! Euan's profile says:

The Internet enables “globally distributed, near instant, person to person conversations” - are you enabling such conversations inside your organisation? Are you interested in helping your people find each other, learn from each other and to use these connections to improve your efficiency and increase your ability to innovate? In addition to 21 years culminating in a senior position in the BBC I have had five years of unparalleled experience learning how to make the most of this wired-up world of work and how businesses can prepare themselves for the challenges and the opportunities it represents. I am highly connected to the most influential movers and shakers of this new environment and my workshops, which have often been described as inspirational, have already been experienced by many diverse audiences worldwide.


I've been reading interesting ideas on this blog including discussions with other knowledge management "gurus" for some time now but this one prompted me to bring it to your attention. I'm not a fan of OMG as an exclamation of horror but in this instance "heaven preserve us" seems to reflect my feelings very accurately.
