Vol. 2. No. 12 – 22 March 1999

Interesting Reading:
Here’s some articles, web sites, or books that I’ve found interesting.

  • Designing systems for intellectual property
    KM World Magazine
    - A simple article that focuses on how several different vendors can bring value to the process of managing intellectual property (patents & trademarks, etc.). It also looks at how several organizations are using these products.

  • Corporate Change: A Culture of Innovation
    Information Week
    - This is not an editorial piece about knowledge management, but about speed and change. Yes, it focuses on key aspects of KM, culture, knowledge, and innovation, but it is all in the context of change. More directly it focuses on the need for speed and how culture plays an important role in allowing organizations to change fast enough to maintain a competitive advantage.

  • How To Get The Most Out Of An Expert
    InternetWeek
    - This article left me wanting more, but was still interesting. We all try and ask the expert, but how do we find them? You’ll find a couple of examples and some interesting ideas in this article.

  • Is Real Time Collaboration Crossing the Chasm?
    Collaborative Strategies
    - A look at where things are, and where they are going in the real-time collaboration marketplace. This article is filled with useful facts and figures as well as observations about the market, products and what we might be using in the future. This a part 1 of 2, so I’ll link to the second part when it gets posted.

  • Finding Who Knows What
    Steve Offsey of Dataware

KM Jobs & Links:
KM Career Opportunities and Links — let me know of any opportunities and I’ll post them here (and don’t forget to tell me when the positions are filled). An asterisks (*) denotes a new item.

Upcoming Events:
This is a list of events I’m interested in, and think you should be too. As I come across web sites that have detailed listings of events, I’ll post them here. An asterisks (*) denotes a new item.

Products/Tools:
I’ll try and point you to interesting products, tools, and companies that are dabbling in the KM space. A (P) after a product name indicates that it connects people to people, and an (I) indicates that it connects people to information. These categories are based on my definition of KM.

If you’ve seen or are using a cool and useful product that falls into the KM space (or close to it), let me know about it, I’ll include it here and you’ll get the credit for it.
