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?
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?

The context of personal behavior during any given situation is both complex and emergent
in practice
To accomplish a task, we need tools - to accomplish complex tasks, we need systems
????
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
Even once found, few systems offer clues about an external contact’s
trustworthiness, relevance, interests,or willingness to help, creating a
massive filtering problem
The cost of not finding the right peopleand information is too great!!
Findability as an alternative to search is now key!
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
Information glut makes it increasingly difficultto glean meaningful insights that add value

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
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
Context-Enhanced Services will be a major disruption over the next 5-10 years

2. Moving From Knowledge to Insight
The 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.
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
Insight occurs when people recognize relationships or
make associations between objects and actions that can
help them solve new problems
Britanica
Insights help uncover and reframe the true nature of a
problem
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
“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.”

3. Aggregating What We Know
About Networks and
Relationships
The 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.
Networks areeverywhere!
growing all thetime
often as seemingly isolatedrepositories of knowledge
that are searched to find who knows whoand who may know what
That all sounds great! But is this approach enough to harness the full value of your
networks?
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
Ideas, thoughts, knowledge and insight are constantly being formed
stuff you know(Tacit knowledge)
simultaneously with others and
often about similar things
What if… we could grab and aggregate these isolated seeds of distributed cognition?
Knowledge growth occurs!
Perpetually growing and
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
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!?!
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.”
“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!
Aggregating data and related information, enables the growth and reusability of
knowledge and insight
capable of adding incremental and sustainable
value over time

4. The Individual-Directed Approach
The 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.
“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!?!
This collective, individual-directedapproach provides for real-time self
organised learning
and sense makingto take place
Empowering the individual to create meaningfulrepresentations that
reflect their situationalneeds,
detecting the expectedand more importantly,
discovering the unexpected
10“Increasingly, those who use technology
in ways that expand their global connectionsare more likely to advance, while those who do
not will find themselves on the sidelines.“2009 Horizon Report - Key Trends-

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?
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.
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
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
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
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
Provides sustainable competitiveadvantage by utilizing and controllinginformation as a strategic asset, in a wise way
The Informed Navigation approach creates powerful network effects
Lee Bryant, October 2009
(Simple actions x Scale) Aggregation
= potentially powerful network effects
The approach rides a wave of emerging, transformational trends in social behavior
