John Robb's Radio Weblog: Knowledge management and desktop Weblogs

The biggest trend in business right now is the move to find ways to more effectively manage knowledge workers through knowledge management. This isakin to what Taylor did to improve the poductivity (sic) of themanufacturing workers but applied to knowledge workers. Surveys claim that over 50% of businesses will take steps to buy software that improves knowledge management. Why? Necessity. Companies want to improve knowledge worker productivity and improve the return on technology investments in networking and desktop computers. It is critical to the top and bottom line.

IMHO, Macrobyte's Conversant is a better tool than Userland's Radio for KM. YMMV.

This link arose from me getting back into the habit of reading David's SiT that linked to a followup by John Robb:

Mark Pilgrim (in response to my Radio as knowledge management tool post yesterday) "Most companies and employees don't work like that."(I have added my notes in situ)

My work as a lecturer is all about Knowledge Management . This 'weblog' is one of the main tools I am beginning to use to influence my constituency - my students. Not that I think that e-forums such as this will replace f2f lectures - heaven forbid! I enjoy the sheer theatre of lecturing too much to replace it entirely by electronically delivered media ;-)

PS The correct link for Mark Pilgrim's essay is diveintomark/Knowledge management (it all sounds so good)
