And today? There is little agreement in the industry…
however, here is some of the latest thinking

  “You can’t manage knowledge – nobody can. What you can do is to manage
  the environment in which knowledge can be created, discovered, captured,
  shared, distilled, validated, transferred, adopted, adapted and applied.”
                                     Chris Collison and Geoff Parcell, Learning
                                     to Fly: Practical Knowledge Management
                                     from Leading and Learning Organizations

  “…if you ask someone, or a body for specific knowledge in the context of a real
  need it will never be refused. If you ask them to give you knowledge on the
  basis that you may need it in the future, then you will never receive it.”
                                     David Snowden, Cognitive Edge

  “ …the focus is pretty much around the subject of people…And, like we all
  know, a successful KM strategy is one that combines into a perfect balance a
  focus on the people, on the tools and on the processes.”
                                     Luis Suarez, IBM

Our view on the evolution of KM and Collaboration
             KM and Collaboration in the past                        KM and Collaboration moving forward
   KM and collaboration is extra work                      Collaborative work is what work is
   KM and collaboration are sets of tools                  Collaboration is co-authoring the outcome
   I work by myself                                        I am immersed in the conversations of the workplace
   People directories provide contact information          Dynamic profiles reflect what I do, with whom, and how well I
                                                           do it.
   Work happens in unannounced groups                      Work happens publicly where everyone participates
   Content is protected                                    Content is fluid and is developed through participation

   Searches for content and experts are unrelated          Experts lead to content, content leads to experts
   My value to the company is based on my deliverables     I am a professional whose value is based on both my
                                                           deliverables and my reputation
   Customers are interesting                               I depend on customers for feedback
   The online experience is a Conversation with text and   Collaborative work and Conversation with data are equally
   data                                                    important
   Targets increased productivity                          Provides a platform for innovation
