Managing knowledge with blogs
Long time no see... Won't waste your time talking about all the things I do when I don't write here - but it includes workshops on blogging, and more and more I find internal blogging to be the thing people, especially bosses, really pay attention to. I'm convinced that for every external corporate blog we will find (if we could) 10 or 20 internal ones. Perhaps more. One reason is this - executives currently feel unable to exploit large amounts of corporate information according to a study Sally Falkow writes about.
It's obvious to me that blogging should play a role in that exploitation. I see them as the "middle way". They're not the structured systems with elaborate meta data that we find in large KM solutions. They're not email either, but they're almost as easy as email -- which can't be said of the system approach... -- and that's the key to success.
