K-Logs (Knowledge Management Weblogs)

Posted: May 12th, 2003 | No Comments »

I have done my bit of reading about weblogs and knowledge management (so-called klogs).

Klogging and KM

  • Could Blogging Assist KM?: Knowledge Management offers the possibility of allowing organizations to tap into not just the documents they’ve created, but the expertise of their employees, past and present. Weblogging is interesting because it is a fairly non-intrusive way of allowing workers to share the process by which they seek, analysis, and select information.
  • Klogging vs. the 11 Deadly KM Sins: Klogging puts knowledge in context. Expose the experience of applying knowledge by klogging your After Action Reviews
  • Klogging and value on the job market

  • Klogging and cyclical employment: 1. Blogs are the post-it notes of KM: Easy, fast, simple. So they are used and useful. 2. Better handoffs: You want to hand-off a process to the new guy? Point to the chronology in your weblog. 3. Smoother coworking: Joint blogging works too. Examples abound. 4. Lower stress: Blogs become your backup brain. Don’t worry about it; just blog it
  • The Staffing Value of Klogs: So at least an 10 times more information lives in your weblog than your résumé
  • A good starting point to get information on klogs is Knowledge weblogs, knowledge management, learning organizations, and other practices to reduce collective idiocy
