New simply explained video: Personal Knowledge Management
There is a new video available in my little series on basic terms and concepts in knowledge management. This time it is about Personal Knowledge Management. Enjoy!
Mindmap on Knowledge Management
In the last few months an expert group of the GfWM e.V. (German Society on Knowledge Management), of which I was a member, developed a rather comprehensive mindmap on Knowledge Management. This is now also available in English:
The Knowledge Management Mindmap is intended to provide a systematic overview of the main fields of action, models, methods and tools in the area of knowledge management. It was developed to make it easier for interested parties to get started in this diverse field. As a comprehensive guide, it is aimed at both individuals and organisations. It is important for us as expert group to emphasise that this list does not claim to be exhaustive. We have also deliberately decided not to evaluate nor rate the elements shown in the mindmap. The mindmap can be downloaded here in various formats.
Feel free to use it, distribute it, comment it, further develop it!
Definition of Knowledge Management
Shanghai Weg
„To make a variation of an old joke, ask any three people involved in ‚knowledge management‘ for a definition of same and you are likely to get three different definitions. Wait a few more minutes and you will get three more.“
William Jones (2016) No knowledge but through information
New video: Simply explained – The organizational knowledge base
Finally, I found some time (and inspiration) to continue my little series Simply explained. The new video is about the concept of the organizational knowledge base. Enjoy! (Time 3’29 min).
A big thank you to my daughter Pauline for the creative visualization.
Knowledge sharing in a public museum
In the last months, Dirk and I (the two coordinators of the German Knowledge Management MOOC, WMOOC) had quite difficulties re-editing the recordings of the WMOOC live sessions due to numerous new projects. But now Dirk is thankfully investing holiday time in exactly this task (Thank you so much, Dirk!!) and finally the fascinating session on Knowledge sharing as a part of project knowledge management in one of Polish public museums with Kamila Brodzińska from Jagiellonian University in Kraków is online (duration 53’56 min). As you may have guessed from the language of this post the session was held in English. Enjoy!
BTW, this year’s WMOOC will again start on October 3rd, just as the accompanying qualification to become a Knowledge Management Professional. Further information on latter can be found here. So, register to become part of the WMOOC community!
WMOOC Live Session on ‚A short history of KM development‘
Even though the German Knowledge Management MOOC (WMOOC) already ended few weeks ago we are still polishing the recordings of our live sessions. One more is available now, one more in English language: Peter Pawlowsky of Chemnitz University talks about A short history of KM development, from knowledge distribution to knowledge sharing (83’19 min). He also gives a personal outlook on the future of KM. Enjoy!
WMOOC Live Session zum Pyramid Model online
Mein Wissensmanagement-MOOC Mit-Koordinator Dirk Liesch war über den Jahreswechsel ganz fleißig und hat die Aufzeichnungen der letzten Live Sessions aus dem WMOOC 2022 bearbeitet und online gestellt. Los geht es hier in meinem Blog in dieser Woche mit Annika Lawrence, die über das im Rahmen ihrer von mir betreuten Masterarbeit entwickelte Pyramid Model für Wissensmanagement berichtet. Sehr inspirierend (Dauer 43’55 Min). Viel Spaß!
Catalogue of Competencies in Knowledge Management
In 2019 Angelika Mittelmann and I, together with a small focus group in the GfWM (German and Austrian Society for Knowledge Management), developed a catalogue of competencies for various roles in knowledge management. Recently, we had the opportunity to present this catalogue to an expert panel of the Singapore Chapter of the International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO). This is the reason why this catalogue is now also available in English language. Feel free to use it! We are looking forward to you sharing your profiles – created with this catalogue – with us. And of course we are happy about any feedback.
Simply explained: another short story on competence
The third episode of our little series Simply explained is now online. This time we talk about the term Competence and answer the question whether there is a difference between competence and knowledge (duration 2’34 Min):
For the creative graphics I have to thank Dr. Paolo Ravalli. Good job, Paolo! As always. It is a pleasure to work with you.
