Last July I wrote two posts on National Governmental Knowledge Management. In the first, I made the case that there was a need to organize and implement formal KM in National Governments to see whether it can produce an ecology of rationality that will work to enhance knowledge processing, knowledge and adaptation throughout such Governments.

August 14th, 2008 · Comments Off on KM 2.0 and Knowledge Management: Part Five, More on Dave Snowden’s Take
4) Another important point made by Dave in the podcast is that those looking to create a knowledge sharing culture are thinking about knowledge sharing from the wrong perspective. The problem is not to create such a culture, but rather to increase the connectivity of people, whereupon they will naturally share because the increased connectivity […]
