Hi Robert,

KM initiatives are small scale and personal or at best, large scale collaborative business and government operations. Why do KM strategies fail as a strategy, because of immature theory? Because of lack of model leadership to inspire line managers to change culture and manipulate people?

I don't know but I dislike to believe it as much as I like to disbelieve KM is just pushing the obvious, labeling what comes naturally anyway, as (I may misunderstand) knowledge ecology. Strategies often boil down to exploiting opposite interests or creating new ones, making profit by supporting one party against the other.

Personal leadership, ideally, also rises naturally. Expertise is not self-declared but earned in the attention economy. Let's treasure the talents that everybody has got or develops when the need grows. KM to me is no more and no less than remembering those talents and explicitly putting them together to reveal the source of conduct.

Best,
Ron dW
