With so much hype on knowledge management, the time has come for KM professionals to gear up and get real or head for the KM grave. The struggle has been on capturing knowledge or managing knowledge workers, but none of these has been 100% efficiently managed. KM will quietly die and social media will win the soul of Enterprise 2.0. It's time to face the reality that Enterprise 2.0 is quietly sweeping through the industry to clean off all unwanted and boring technologies and standards.
Enterprise 2.0 delivers the platform and tools necessary to reach and attain the goals that KM has sort for years. Although most KM professionals agree to the underlining benefits of Social media, there still seem to be some resistance. That shouldn't be a surprise. Many KM professionals are embracing social media tools and are seeking best ways to fully integrate them in practice.
My conclusion, those who continue to suppress the new trend will only pass away. Old trends and ideas cannot prevail in this dying need for innovative ideas and the quest for the younger and trendier generation of industry movers to ensure business evolution. Â It's your bet, take the call.
