Yesterday while walking the Berkeley hills, I listened to a podcast of Dave Snowden being interviewed by Jon Husband about the impact of enterprise 2.0 and the state of KM.
Dave’s take on KM mirrors my view of training. KM & training both suffer from corporate Alzheimer’s: the inability to read the handwriting on the wall. The future is bottom-up, open, networked, and more complex than we’ll ever understand. Deal with it.
Next week in San Jose, California, two events overlap: KM World, the premiere event for knowledge management, and DevLearn, the eLearning Guild-hosted gathering of the top artists, thinkers, and craftsmen of eLearning design.
Isn’t it time for a requiem to these “solutions” to yesterday’s problems? Old-style KM and training don’t work in today’s egalitarian, networked world. Perhaps in San Jose next week, we can throw Molotov cocktails at the old order and come up with an appropriate synthesis.
