Reality: the blurring and overlap….

For Profit

Not-for-

Profit

Government

• Focus on performance

•Increasing demands for accountability, value

•Power of markets to provide solutions

•Expectations of social responsibility

•Transparency and interconnectivity

• War for talent

•Pressure for collaboration

Everybody:

• must perform higher against measurable outcomes

•must be a problem-solver

• find ways to collaborate with and leverage “whoever really knows”

• use markets but mind the common good, social resp.

•realize they’re in the “knowledge business”

Mitre TEM Presentation 12-5-07 © Brook Manville 2007 25

Leaders and Practitioners of Knowledge Strategy and Programs should….

• break down boundaries, blow up the silos, pursue networks

• look beyond your enterprise and your sector—for “whatever it takes”—OPEN UP YOUR ORGANIZATION TO THE MORE “DEMOCRATIC WEB” OF THE FUTURE

• performance as your filter for decision-making, investment, experimentation, and even new business opportunities…

• …but manage the tension of values, mission and social responsibility

• embrace the social technologies for the power of people….

•….but keep technology in the appropriate place of a whole system approach

First Gen to Second Gen

..and perhaps most important:

Remember all we have learned about “knowledge management” in the last 25 years”…..

But don’t become a museum piece for what was done in an earlier age!!!!
