KM is extra work KM is part of my everyday work
Work is behind closed doors Work is open and transparent
People directories provide contact information
Social Networking platforms reflect who is doing what with whom
Content is centralised, protected and controlled
Content is distributed freely and uncontrolled
IT chooses the tools I use I have a choice & select my own tools
Knowledge sharing is database centric Knowledge sharing is people centric
Knowledge is captured just incase
Knowledge is naturally captured as part of one’s work
Best Practices Stories
Efficiency and productivity Improved decision making & innovation
David Gurteen
KM is about ConversationKM is about Conversation
KM is simply the art of enabling trusted, context-rich conversations among the appropriate members of communities about things these communities are passionate about.
Dave Pollard
A powerful global conversation has begun. Through the Internet, people are discovering and inventing new ways to share relevant knowledge with blinding speed. As a direct result, markets are getting smarter and getting smarter faster than most companies.

SharingSharing
World 1.0 World 2.0
WE share information WE share knowledge
David Gurteen
SharingSharing
• Sharing knowledge is not about giving people something, or getting something from them. That is only valid for information sharing.
• Sharing knowledge occurs when people are genuinely interested in helping one another develop new capacities for action; it is about creating learning processes.
Peter Senge
David Gurteen
Knowledge SharingKnowledge Sharing
World 1.0 World 2.0
WE (managers) impose knowledge sharing on people as additional work
WE (all) share knowledge as a natural part of our everyday work
David Gurteen
Knowledge SharingKnowledge Sharing
• Management tries to force knowledge sharing• Seen as additional work of little value• Rewards are ‘gamed’• With blogs and wikis people naturally share
as part of their everyday work
David Gurteen
Knowledge SharingKnowledge Sharing
• If people need knowledge in the “context” of need it will always be shared - people will share in the context of your immediate need
• People don’t share knowledge in the anticipation that you need it - if you ask people to put it in a common data store for a possible need in the future, on the basis you might need it … it just doesn’t happen Dave Snowden
David Gurteen
TrainingTraining
World 1.0 World 2.0
WE (managers) ensure people are formally trained
WE (all) learn socially and informally on the job
David Gurteen
TrainingTraining
• Learning was confined to occasional formal training
• Learning is continuous and informal • Social tools are informal learning tools
David Gurteen
On being taughtOn being taught
Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always
like being taught.
Sir Winston Churchill
David Gurteen
TransparencyTransparency
World 1.0 World 2.0
WE work behind closed doors
WE work transparently where everyone can see it
David Gurteen
TransparencyTransparency
• Before IT it was impossible for people to share work in progress
• Today it is easy• Working transparently means we get early
feedback and can adapt more quickly• A fundamental part of natural knowledge
sharing• But old habits linger on• We need to be confident
David Gurteen
OpennessOpenness
World 1.0 World 2.0
WE tend to be closed & defensive - not open to the ideas of others
WE are open. We welcome new ideas and feedback
David Gurteen
OpennessOpenness
• Being open (and transparent) is a prerequisite for informal learning
• We need to let others know what we are doing (transparency) and encourage feedback (openness)
David Gurteen
Command & ControlCommand & Control
World 1.0 World 2.0
WE (managers) control people out of fear they will do wrong
WE (managers) give people freedom in return for their accepting responsibility
David Gurteen
The Knowledge WorkerThe Knowledge Worker
Knowledge workers are those people who have taken responsibility for their work lives.
They continually strive to better understand the changing world around them and modify their work practices and behaviors to better meet their personal and organizational objectives.
No one tells them what to do. They do not take “No” for an answer.
They are self motivated.
A Knowledge worker is
someone who gets to decide what she does each morning.

Control of InformationControl of Information
World 1.0 World 2.0
WE (managers) centralise, protect and control information
WE distribute information more freely and control it only as appropriate
David Gurteen
Control of InformationControl of Information
• PCs, laptops, cameras, CDs, memory dongles, blogs: its no longer possible to control the storage and flow of digital information
• Anyone who really wants it can gain access• We cannot stop people from talking• Tie down the essential stuff only• Educate and trust people on the rest
David Gurteen
InvolvementInvolvement
World 1.0 World 2.0
WE (managers) do not involve people – we do things to them!
WE (managers) involve people from pre-conception to implementation. We work together with them!
David Gurteen
Work with People – don’t do things to them!Work with People – don’t do things to them!
Many of the familiar principles of Quality management amount to an elaboration of this simple truth: an innovative, healthy organization
requires that we work with people rather than do things to them.
Alfie Kohn
How do we better work together?
How do we make them
share?
David Gurteen
VoiceVoice
World 1.0 World 2.0
WE talk in a stilted professional voice
WE talk in our natural voice
David Gurteen
VoiceVoice
• Third party passive voice• Conceptual, theoretical, scientific• Stripped of context• Be ourselves; get specific; tell stories
David Gurteen
On the professional voiceOn the professional voice
We have been trained throughout our business careers to suppress our
individual voice and to sound like a 'professional', that is, to sound like
everyone else.
This professional voice is distinctive. And weird. Taken out of context, it is
as mannered as the ritualistic dialogue of the 17th-century French court.
David Weinberger
David Gurteen
RewardsRewards
World 1.0 World 2.0
WE (managers) motivate people with external rewards and incentives
WE recognise that loving our work is the true reward
David Gurteen
Punished by RewardsPunished by Rewards
• Rewards punish • Rewards rupture relations• Rewards ignore reasons• Rewards deter risk taking• Rewards undermine interest
Loving what you do is a more powerful motivator than any goody including money
Alfie Kohn
David Gurteen
Where are we?Where are we?
• Early days• Many independents
adopted 2.0 working• No question this is where
the world is moving• In 5 years we will all be
using social tools!• Exciting to many, scary to
others
David Gurteen
The way forwardThe way forward
• Be an early adopter• Start to use the tools yourself• Pilot the tools within your
organisation• Take good advise• Learn what they mean for you
and your organisation• Cannot plan this – its emergent• Have to see where it takes us!• Have conversations with people
David Gurteen
David Gurteen
We are moving to a We are moving to a participatory participatory “WE world”“WE world”
Yes, we.We control the Informaton Age.
Welcome to our world.
