Greetings

I recently read the following in Davenport & Prusak's - "Working Knowledge - How Organisations Manage What They Know" (Chapter 7 - Technologies for Knowledge Management, page 142):

Technology is common in the domain of knowledge distribution, but it rarely enhances the process of knowledge use. Distribution delivers knowledge to the potential user's desktop but cannot dictate what he or she does with it thereafter. It would be interesting to envision technologies that help to manage personal knowledge as it applies to decisions and actions, but beyond the very rudimentary "personal information managers" that allow searching of unrelated bits of information, little progress has been made towards "personal knowledge managers.

Ever one to try and turn a silk purse into a sow's ear, I revisited the KnowledgeWorker principles-based KMS I have been working with to see how it stacks up.

I am interested in people's ideas on PKMs, examples of and what they should contain - if only to benchmark and refine my own ideas.

I have written a brief article on this which is available via the link below. Please feel free to email me with any thoughts, or reply here

Regards

Jack
