KnowledgeBoard #124 - 23 February 2006

EDITOR'S NOTE

 

Charles Savage will be joining us next Monday to discuss the

European Commission's Lisbon Strategy, why it is failing, and

what we can do about it. If you look at the event page, you will

see that the discussion has already begun.

 

The KB forums are now open. This is where you can add your

questions and opinion within a SIG area or the KB general

discussion. Please have a look below and join the debate.

 

I will be on holiday in Vietnam for three weeks (24/02-20/03). If

there are any KB members there, get in touch - it would be great

to meet up. During my absence, KB will be in the worthy hands of

Stephanie Phillips (ex-KB editor), Steve Bridger (community

manager) and Rene Stach (KB project manager). They will be

monitoring the 'editor@knowledgeboard.com' email address so you

are in good hands.

 

The Contactivity wiki will be looked after by my trusted friend

and wiki guru Dan Dixon. We will launch the co-creation process

there in early March, so if you have not decided to get involved,

do it now!

 

We have also begun the search for a new KB editor. I will be

leaving KB later this year (June/July) and am keen to find the

right person to take KB into its next phase. We need someone with

serious enthusiasm for KM, strong editorial and commercial

skills, high emotional intelligence and more. We will publish a

formal job specification in March, so stand by for more

information.

 

I will think of you all on my holiday, and post some photos into

the KB flickr group, and be present on the Contactivity

wiki

SIG AND OTHER CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS

 

Meet Charles Savage to discuss the Lisbon strategy

---

27 February, online in the KB chatroom, 16:00-17:00 CET

(CET is Central European Time, 1 hour ahead of GMT)

We are proud to invite you to meet Charles Savage in a free

online event next week:

 

We are so imprisoned by Industrial Era thinking, we do not know

how to think out-of-the-box. We cannot reach the Knowledge Era

with Industrial Era language and assumptions. Unfortunately, much

of the KM and IC work we are doing is focused upon 'repairing'

the humanly flawed industrial model, which is, in effect, beyond

repair and a waste of time.
