Dan Keldsen replied to Lidia Basson's discussion 'Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification. - MARTIN FISCHER' in the group War Stories and Lessons Learned

Lidia - much of what "2.0" (whether web 2.0, enterprise 2.0, or similar variations) is about simplicity and usability - getting work done rather than creating "yet another system." Can be difficult for "the old guard" to fully embrace that, and real…

Dan Keldsen replied to Bob Larrivee's discussion 'ECM is Easy' in the group War Stories and Lessons Learned

Incidentally, having a "Chief Content Officer" (sadly, Chief Information Officer has been polluted in many cases), or "Chief Collaboration Officer" is a sign of a positive culture. And the Chief Knowledge Officer, if not popular, at least seen more…

Dan Keldsen replied to Bob Larrivee's discussion 'ECM is Easy' in the group War Stories and Lessons Learned

Carl - I hope you mean having 'conceptually' centralized control. If the "job" of records or content management is only in the centrally controlled hands of the few, then you quickly run into scalability problems. Namely that while everyone is busil…

Dan Keldsen replied to Bob Larrivee's discussion 'ECM is Easy' in the group War Stories and Lessons Learned

Absolutely, Bob. Someone needs to step up to simplify the complexity in most of these systems. Organic growth can easily turn into a viral nightmare. While departments (perhaps) maximize their own productivity, at what cost to the organization as a…

Dan Keldsen replied to Bob Larrivee's discussion 'ECM is Easy' in the group War Stories and Lessons Learned

Underestimating any aspect of ECM is a bad idea - wouldn't say either is easier or harder, because in my experience (in this industry for 15 years) is that a focus/lean in one direction means that ALL of the attention goes in that direction. Implem…

At 12:59pm on February 18, 2009, Ed Sison said…: Dan - I too have emerged as a 'bridge builder' after my peers told me how I had a skill of translating business speak into IT talk and vice versa, that not a lot of people had. My frustration has been with a general lack of appreciation for 'bridge builders', primarily due to which end of the chasm you happen to be aligned with (business/IT). I see E2.0 as an organizational focus towards 'bridge building' that was not part of the picture back in the day.

I work for the largest health insurer in Philadelphia (from a membership perspective). Command & Control, Top-Down, Siloed. You name the classic trait, this place has it. I got the book 'Wikinomics' as a holiday present and was hooked. As part of the perverbial New Year's Resolution (and possible change in career), I decided to start researching emerging 21st century characteristics of large organizations. That has led me here. I've already lent the book to a prominent VP in the company and I hope that word is spreading about the potential value-add of wikinomic/e2.0 principles.

At 8:24am on February 18, 2009, Ed Sison said…: Good Morning Dan. I took an e2.0 sample online module for worker models and continue to be impressed. As I lean towards become e2.0 certified I'd like to get some feedback as to who to market this new skill set to. I've been in IT for most of my career but it seems like 'selling your goods' to IT leadership is a bit narrow in scope. Your thoughts?

The Market IQ on Enterprise 2.0 by AIIM's Market Intelligence unit was recently made available, and is a free download for all who are interested.

Is this download still available? The link is 'broken'.

What percentage/number of survey respondent companies were "KM-Inclined"?

You know that formula that computes the value of a network determined by the number of its nodes? I've never felt it was right ... or even of any use. More: I think it's misleading.

The value of a network is a) non-linear, and b) fractal. Accidents of time and space play snakes and ladders ... there are any number of tipping-points.
My basic metaphor with such systems is the bathtub full of mouse-traps: predicting the number of releases in any one time slice, or the moment of any one trap's release, or the flight trajectory of any trap or traps ... simply imponderable, and obviously so.

But we get simple formulae and then, alas, come to believe that we aren't dealing with that bathtub.
