Knowledge management

June, Valdis, and I participated in a day long Cleveland KM cluster conference yesterday on social and value networks and tools. It was a strong agenda with solid affirmation that the real gold in "knowledge management" is in the unleashing of networks.

It's an acknowledgement that knowledge in organizations and communities grows and serves in the context of relationships. It's value that doesn't reside in individual people, functions, or leaders. Like the brain, it only has value when connected.

Earlier this week, I had a wonderful Skype conversation with David Gurteen, who provides some excellent resources on knowledge management. Check out The Gurteen Knowledge Website at http://www.gurteen.com/
