Distributed Knowledge Management

Surfing yesterday on the subject of blogs, I came across this very interesting paper by Martin Roell " Distributed KM - Improving Knowledge Workers' Productivity and Organisational Knowledge Sharing with Weblog-based Personal Publishing , presented to BlogTalk 2.0, "The European Conference on Weblogs", Vienna, July 5th and 6th 2004.

It "explores the failure of traditional knowledge management to adress the problem of knowledge worker productivity and argues that a deeper understanding of knowledge work is necessary to improve it. It explores knowledge work and how it is supported with information technology tools today (focus on emails) and introduces weblogs as personal publishing tools, showing how personal publishing supports knowledge work processes."

Definitely worth reading and lots of links at the bottom to refer to!
