The world becomes smaller with the advent of new technology. Communication becomes easier and information becomes accessible to practically everyone else. Yes, KM and SM are indeed at war and contradicting in every way. In this modern world, “regulation” is quite impossible.

Its true that knowledge and society continues to evolve. SM and KM should evolve in such a manner that they compliment each other and support the need.

These esoteric discussions about theory and inherent biases based on age serve what purpose? In the end, technology is only the device for fulfilling a need and this discussion would provide much more significant value if instead it focused on the business and personal needs that can be addressed by SM and/or KM techniques. To think that either approach warrants the Â“silver bulletÂ” label is both naive and arrogant for anyone, regardless of their age. Both SM and KM techniques have different demonstrated values and need to be harvested selectively so as to align with implementations objectives, which must support the brands that take ownership for the content and the people that need to use it.

In the state of war everything from first side is against everything on the other side. Technology is on the front of the war. Who has advanced technology got great advantage.

Andrew – well, the “age-ism” question was something we specifically dived into in the Market IQ on Enterprise 2.0, and delivered our short keynote at the E2.0 conference on (http://www.slideshare.net/dan.keldsen/enterprise-20-ftw/).

Having lived through, and continuing to assist people with KM practices, as well as being an “E2.0 pundit” I don’t see the new wave as being at odds with the old in any way.

It’s just improved, lighter weight, get outta my way and let’s get things done rather than talk about it…

We’ve done a number of specific presentations to law firms, pharmaceutical companies, etc. discussing KM, KM2.0, and E2.0 and what to think of all of the discussion.

Most recent version of that presentation can be seen at: http://www.slideshare.net/dan.keldsen/enterprise-20-knowledge-management-20-for-km-practitioners-in-law-firms-presentation/

In short, if your organization values information, knowledge, collaboration – call it whatever you like – if you don’t have the incentives, the culture, the business drivers (fully recognized by the “users” as well as managers and executives), well, then you are doomed, no matter what label you slap on it.

The tools themselves are the sharp end – it’s what’s pushing behind that will make the actual implementation take root or get ejected from the organization as a whole.

Cheers,
Dan

i quite agree with you … on two things here … first, that there is no real war that is out there, and second we shouldnt ignore technology.

rather than a war, i would like to look at it as “creative tension”, where different ways of doing things are evaluated, and adopted, and i dont think one is going away because of the other (in fact, i had written about the search versus communities thought some time back …), because they are serving two different purposes.

Andrew, your other commenters have it right in that it is not about age. Without going into detail, I think the “fork” is embodied in your view vs.Clay Shriky (and I personally devour everything both of you espouse). Can you arrange for a debate? Or would you be in complete agreement?

I concur with the comments from Saqib. We have gained some traction on focused, limited internal deployments of social media tools, but run into stiff (management) opposition attempting to expand the footprint, and ‘open’ the environments. The ‘keep the information to myself’ mentality is still quite prevalent, and only when more members of the Facebook generation start to influence these decisions will many organizations embrace these changes.
