Hyperlinks subvert hierarchy, or, in other words, digital networks enable multiple connections, so organizational communications are no longer just vertical. Somebody else, outside the hierarchy, is only one click away, and perhaps easier to deal with and a better source of information and knowledge. This is becoming obvious in the business world and frameworks such [...]

My working definition of personal knowledge management:
PKM: a set of processes, individually constructed, to help each of us make sense of our world, work more effectively and contribute to society.

Wirearchy may be a neologism, but I’ve found it to be a most descriptive term for discussing what happens when you connect everyone via electronic networks. To paraphrase Jon Husband:
It is generally accepted that we live and work in an increasingly ‘wired’ world.

David Guillocheau at Talent[Power]Management describes what I would call human resources in a wired world [enough of this 2.0 appendage]. He discusses (in French) the various aspects of networked-enabled HR.
Recruiting: social networks; online events; serious games.
Integrating new workers: online mentoring; internal blogs.

Here is Seth Godin being interviewed by Hugh Macleod:
In a stable environment, we worship the efficient factory. Henry Ford or even David Geffen… feed the machine, keep it running smoothly, pay as little as you can, make as much as you can. In our post-industrial world, though, factory worship is a non starter. Cheap cogs [...]

Knowledge Squared equals Power Squared, says Craig Thomler:
However the knowledge hoarding model begins to fail when it becomes cheap and easy to share and when the knowledge required to complete a task exceeds an individual’s capability to learn in the time available.
