I'm sorry that I am apparently an inconvenience to your precious time, but you are my advisor and I'm pretty sure it is your job to clarify any misunderstandings that I might have… maybe you should reconsider your role as an advisor….I thought communicating with an actual person might be more helpful than trying to search for one particular answer in twenty pages of information.

The ‘Delete’ Generation?

Children of the SKI generation?

( “spending their kids inheritance”)

Today: Who are they? What can we learn from them? How do they network and use social networking tools? What are dangers or opportunities?...

(by the way: who thinks he/she is a member of this “young generation”?)

Who’s on facebook?

Who uses linkedin?

Who benefits from linkedin?

Continuous Partial Attention?

”The Tipping Point”… describes how researchers for Sesame Street determined what parts and how much of the show were actually registering with five-year-old kids. What they discovered was that,

when presented with toys …, these children were able to play with toys and remember content from the show just as well as kids who just watched the show.

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion

or it will be killed.

Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must

outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn’t really matter whether you’re a lion or a

gazelle. When the sun goes up, you’d better start

running.

Are our millennials really different, or just adapting more rapidly to a changing world?

-> INTELLIPEDIA

…only 10% of the eligible user

population is actually using it, and middle

management isn't comfortable with it

We shape our tools…

…and then our tools shape us.

M. McLuhan

Never confuse the

map

territory

Empire of the Sun, J.G. Ballard

Never confuse

the tools

with what you want to

accomplish by using them

-> It’s not about the tools, it’s about the people behind the tools…

(It’s not about ‘facebook/linkedin’ or ‘sharepoint’ as a tool, it’s about the way we are moving from knowledge in repositories to social knowledge in networks.)

People sometimes make errors - The problem here was not the error, it was the failure of NASA's systems engineering, and the checks and balances in our processes to detect the error. That's why we lost the spacecraft.

Dr. Edward Weiler, on the loss of the Mars Lander because of a simple error on conversion between

metric and English units.

We could have avoided the financial crisis if we had had better knowledge management in the financial world

MIT research shows that 40% of creative teams productivity is explained by

the amount of communication they have with others to

discover, gather, and internalise information.

My favorite Wisdom of Crowdsquotes

Mixed by Maarten Cannaerts

Images: www.sxc.hu– “The wisdom of crowds” was written

by James Surowiecki

There are four conditions that characterize wise crowds…

(each person should have some private information, even if it’s just an

eccentric interpretation of the known facts)

1. Diversity of opinion

2. Independence

(people’s opinions are not

determined by the opinions

of those around them)

3. Decentralization

(people are able to

specialize and draw on

local knowledge)

4. Aggregation

(some mechanism exists for turning private judgments into a collective decision)

“Find experts, not documents”

Tricky Business- Social networking in companies?- Information literacies?

Inside or outside the company firewall?

Process vs people?

Validation of results?

-> I wiki, You wiki, we all wiki?

Information literacies?

Verba volent, scripta manent?

Data is the pollution of the information age.
