What is the biggest question for anyone looking to dramatically increase their success…

How do I harness my knowledge, experience and networks to drive important decisions or

solve my current needs?

Page 4: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Does your world look similar to this?

Head down, bum up –so you miss what’s

going on? Don’t have time to think?

Too many decisions to make, not enough time or

meaningful insight to make them properly?

A large portion of new ideas and formal collaborative relationships

come from external contacts

Influence has been revolutionized!

“No one knows everything, everyone knows something… all knowledge resides in networks“

Pierre Lévy (1997)

The trends around the value of Collective

Intelligence and Collaborative Learning

are undeniable and the opportunities

compelling

Collaboration based on

knowledge, trust and

credibility

Page 8: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Even once found, few systems offer clues about an external contact’s

trustworthiness, relevance, interests,or willingness to help, creating a

massive filtering problem

Page 9: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

The cost of not finding the right peopleand information is too great!!

Findability as an alternative to search is now key!

Page 10: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

The Cost of ‘What We Don’t Know, We Don’t Know”

“People had to be aware oftheir lack of relevant

knowledge and be prepared to explore the area of their

ignorance with suitable questions and help from other

people in similar positions.” Reginald Revans

Adapted from Cohen & Levinthal 1989

“What we have here is a transition from a stable, settled world of knowledge produced by authority/authors, to a world of instability, flux, of knowledge produced by the

individual...”Institute of Education, London, 2007

Page 12: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Existing systems and historical approaches are becoming toobrittle to withstand the kinds of uncertainties and

complexities that we are being challenged with

New tools are needed that provide for resiliency – the capacity for creating flexibility and innovation, to generate

new orders, new patterns, deal with complexity

In 2009, collaborative decision making will emerge as a newproduct category that combines social software with BI

Platform capabilities

Gartner Research, Jan 2009, http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=856714

Through 2012, more than 35 % of the top 5,000 global companies will regularly fail to make

insightful decisions about significant changes in

their business and markets

Page 16: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Insight occurs when people recognize relationships or

make associations between objects and actions that can

help them solve new problems

Insights help uncover and reframe the true nature of a

problem

Page 17: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Research reveals that increasing the number of units of knowledge could

increase the probability of a spontaneous insight occurring

“We only know what we know when we need to know it. Human knowledge is deeply contextual and requires

stimulus for recall.”Dave Snowden

"Explicit knowledge is simply information –lacking the human

context necessary to qualify it as knowledge.”

John Bordeaux

“Knowledge is profoundly social…it happens only in social interactions.”

Larry Prusak

Page 20: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

“The ability to make sense of vast amounts of information has never been more vital. New tools that generate

visible data can help make sense of the flood of information and will require us to develop skills in patternrecognition – seeing patterns and making sense of data.

Schools will be called on to teach collective sense

making skills and to develop new ways toconvey knowledge.”

Networks areeverywhere!

growing all thetime

Page 24: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

often as seemingly isolatedrepositories of knowledge

Page 25: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

that are searched to find who knows whoand who may know what

Page 26: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

That all sounds great! But is this approach enough to harness the full value of your

networks?

Page 27: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

It’s not only who you know… it’s also who

knows you

It’s about looking beyondusual sources, looking

ahead, tapping newsensors into available and

distributed cognition

Page 28: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Ideas, thoughts, knowledge and insight are constantly being formed

stuff you know(Tacit knowledge)

Page 29: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

simultaneously with others and

Page 30: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

often about similar things

Page 31: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

What if… we could grab and aggregate these isolated seeds of distributed cognition?

Page 32: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Knowledge growth occurs!

Page 33: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Perpetually growing and

Page 34: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

forming something of greater value than the individual bits that feed it!

Often providing for new ideas and insightthrough contextual recommendations

Have you thought of this…

Ah-ha!!Thanks

Page 36: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

But networks are not just about people…

They are about collections of entities linked bya type of contextual relationship

What if… we add broader contextual information into our collective intelligence

from other available sources!?!

Page 38: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Relationships between organised entities can reveal new and hidden meaning

“If I said any kind of word, it’s the context that surrounds the word that

really gave you the meaning.”

John Hebeler, BBN

“What your brain has really done is connectedthat one word with all kinds of relationships.”

Page 39: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

“The new advantage is context — how internal and

external content is interpreted, combined, made

sense of, and converted to end product.

Creating competitive context requires social capital, the ability to find, utilize and

combine the skills, knowledge and experience of others.”

Valdis Krebs

Context is the Edge!

Page 40: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Aggregating data and related information, enables the growth and reusability of

knowledge and insight

capable of adding incremental and sustainable

value over time

any position in the deck.

Page 43: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

“Rather than producers organising information in advance, consumers will organise it on demand.”

Peter Sweeney, Primal Fusion

What if… individuals could interactively organise their thoughts with what is

aggregated and recommended in ways that mattered to them!?!

Page 44: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

This collective, individual-directedapproach provides for real-time self

organised learning

and sense makingto take place

Page 45: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Empowering the individual to create meaningfulrepresentations that

reflect their situationalneeds,

detecting the expectedand more importantly,

discovering the unexpected

in ways that expand their global connectionsare more likely to advance, while those who do

5. Introducing a Solution –the Informed Navigation

ApproachThe slides after this

divider will be grouped

into a section and given

the label you type above.

Feel free to move this

slide to any position in the

deck.

Remember the original question…

How do I harness my knowledge, experience and networks to drive important decisions or solve my current needs?

Page 48: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Informed Navigation is not about searching, but finding; not about access, but sharing. It is not about telling, butshowing. It is about collective involvement to form

understanding and insight. Informed Navigation recognizes that human beings do not seek and utilize information as

individuals, but as trusted communities.

Page 49: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

The Informed Navigation Approach

Dynamic aggregation of cognitive,reasoning and knowledge resources ofhumans supported by intelligent and

networked information systems

Accessibleanywhere,

anytime

Focused content is then structured, sequenced

and given context to build knowledge and insight

Providing context enhanced services

General Community Space

Community of Practice Space

Personal Knowledge Space

• Unknown individuals

• Known but not trusted

• Multiple individuals

• Known, trusted individuals

• Circle of Friends, Enterprise Workgroups, Business Networks, Extended Family etc.

• Single individual

• Private and secure

• Personal Learning Environment

Engagement occurs at three levels, based around relevance, intimacy, privacy and building trust

relationships

Page 51: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Collected knowledge, stored in an individual’s Personal Knowledge Collection is used to create

context based, situational Thought Canvases

which are then stored in an individual’s private and secure Personal Knowledge Space for future use

The Value of the Approach

A familiar user experience for quick start-up, hiding the complexity of technology in the background

Links tightly with available and accessible onlineand offline sources of information, allowing for the detection of the expected and discovery of the unexpected

Sensory awareness of the context, content and individuals that form invaluable insight

Page 58: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Increases real-time flow and discovery of meaningful information, savingtime and improving productivity

Amplifies ability to acquire knowledge and insight by using intuitive interactivevisual representations

A fundamental strategic model based on a blended model centred on customer intimacy

Page 59: In the Pursuit of that "Moment of Insight"

Focuses on the individual and not about trying to build a new community

Allows people to create valuefor others while doing their own thing, on their own terms

Acquiring timely insight helps to know what customers need… before they knowthemselves…

A means to show people what they don’t know they want (Steve

Jobs, Apple)

Maximises stickiness of insights, to enable reuse and enhance impact over time
