Hi all,

was recently going thru some of the announcements & counter announcements on development of KM standards by GKEC, KMCI, Entovation etc. It seems they all subcribe to the 'not invented here' philosophy.

correlating that with anthropological theory that states that human beings have a tendency to split large groups into smaller 'tribes' (e.g. in high school you have arbitary groups created like 'nerds', jocks, cool set etc.), what do you think the chances are of the KM practitioner's community all agreeing on even basic standards?

Will application of good knowledge management always bump up against human nature? (try asking all these KM groups to share their research :-))

Take care,

Akhil
