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 [...]

Tim Kastelle (a great source of knowledge on innovation) discusses how it’s better to have a good idea than a large network to fire off any old idea. Good ideas have better acceleration.
This is an important innovation lesson as well. We don’t need more ideas, we need better ideas. In many ways this [...]

What effective means have we found to aggregate, filter and share information?

I’ve changed one word, but doesn’t it make more sense like this?
As I talk about PKM here or with this graphic and discussion, “understand” is more descriptive of the human sense-making activities than “filter” is. Perhaps I should go back and change these posts to reflect what we are actually doing – understanding as part [...]

Personal Knowledge Management
Updated 5 Feb 2010: changed “Filter” to “Understand”

Knowledge Squared equals Power Squared, says Craig Thomler:

Some things I learned about knowledge this past year.
About knowledge management: Codified knowledge (documents, lists, reports, best practices) is effective in organizations that have mostly new staff or high turnover, like a pizza franchise.

Dennis Callahan has a most interesting Posterous site, called LearnStreaming. His latest post shows this graphic, which I find reflects many of the concepts of personal knowledge management, but with some additional aspects that may make it easier to understand and do:
Dennis has a clear and simple definition for Learnstreaming – publishing your learning activities [...]
