DESCRIPTION
A presentation for the Managing Partners’ Forum. Separating the needs of the individual and those of then organisation has always been an issue for KM and Learning. At times these needs align, sometimes they need to be reconciled and at other times they diverge, particularly when an individual moves to another organisation. The presentation looks specifically at the changing nature of organisations and the emergent power of networks and networking. Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) is a competence we must all learn in order to remain relevant to our organisation. But who ultimately “owns” the ‘corporate’ knowledge that we gather through the workplace networks we nurture and sustain, and do the organisations we work for even recognise the importance of these networks as places for continual learning, knowledge sharing and incubators for innovation?

Demand for Decision-Ready Information
People don’t have the time to read, think and write much, so they will appreciate someone who has a good feeling for what they want and need and can give it to them effectively.

What Is Personal Knowledge Management?
It is a response to the idea that knowledge workers increasingly need to be
responsible for their own growth and learning.

Knowledge from a trusted source
is richer than what we can discover for ourselves
Collabor8now Ltd
But who can you trust?
Collabor8now Ltd
Everything is connected and what goes on inside your team - or even your enterprise - is dwarfed by what goes on outside. We can no longer pretend that organisation charts and
diagrams amount to anything more than wish lists. In a connected world, things have a way of self organising.

Networks Trump Hierarchies
(Some) Obstacles To Networking
• People don’t know what is permissible
• Knowledge is power - why would I share?
• Fear of imperfection
• People don’t know where to participate
• People don’t know how to participate
• What’s my role?
• Who can I speak to?
• What am I allowed to say?
• Paternal culture and work-style
• Lack of trust in employee judgement
Collabor8now Ltd
Learning and knowledge acquisition is a lifelong activity and a far more personalised experience.

Who owns the knowledge?
Who owns the knowledge?I felt that my network,
my trusted network which I worked hard to maintain, cultivate,
nurture, trust and grow was going to be exploited by other individuals within the
organisation who saw me as their ‘free ride’ to some quick
answers.
I look at the culture of the organisation. If there is a
genuine, authentic opportunity to share and learn and be respectful of each
other’s networks then I have no problem. If it is mandated, or if my networks are used, misused or discounted, then I’d question
why I’m even working there.For the time being, I will nurture
and maintain my networks but I will be cautious in how mine are used within my
organisation and for what purpose. But I’m the one who decides that.
