The Best Knowledge Management Presentation I’ve Seen in Some Time!

I know everyone always says "I know of an excellent Knowledge Management presentation", but you really need to look at this 3 part presentation created by T-Systems, Germany's leading multimedia provider. The content really demonstrates why one should adopt Enterprise 2.0 collaboration tools; and better yet … the presentation easily stands by itself without audio. Make certain you click to maximize the presentation via SlideShare. Here is the url … http://www.besser20.de/english/

Engineering R&D Meets Collaboration

When I finished graduate school my first job was for RCA Atstro-Electronics. Our division which designed and manufactured satellites was right down the street from RCA's Sarnoff Labs. Even back in mid 80's, you could already start to see the start of the decline of those famous labs. After a few years at RCA I moved back to Minnesota and have spent the rest of my career at my present company's engineering labs.

To day that I have seen changes over the past 25 years would be a huge understatement, but the one truism I've found through all these years is one must always better learn to collaborate. These days I am focusing upon the use of social media and collaboration tools for the enterprise … the virtual water cooler. Thus it was with great interest I read the latest cover story for Business Week. The major focus of this issue is several articles on how engineering research and development has changed, and how collaboration with folks even outside your own company is critical. Whether you find you agree or disagree with the theme of the article, you need to read this material:

I'm still processing all this material myself, and plan to add more blog posts in the future.
