I participated in a Samoan circle, which is an adaptation of the Fishbowl technique right after the Key note speech. We had a lively discussion on KS, what it is, and its opportunities and challenges. Here are some of the statements that we heard:
- KS is very natural for the young You Tube generation
- How do we handle a successful integration of this generation into our organizations so we learn from them and integrate their K of KS tools?
- KS is all about problem solving
- KS is not new. We have always been doing it
- There will be no KS until our management changes
- K works through networks. Top down doesn’t work
- Individuals must become more important in our organizations
- Leadership is important but it is really the individuals who make the difference
- We have to integrate what people already share through their channels, not create new KS products
- Facebook versus internal directory: we need multiple sources to reach everybody
- All this KS tools exist but I can’t even find likeminded people in my organization
- We always end up talking about tools
- Develop KS strategies as part of organizational change processes
- Rudimentary tools like the internal phone directory are still needed
- Tools need a purpose
- It is politically direct to talk against tools but successful tool developers capture the demand and those tools become mainstreamed
- Tour de table on things we want to try out in our organizations: Speed Dating, learn more about the tools, convince management about usefulness, that it is a two way practice.
- Review of the Samoan circle as a KS method: The sound problems obliged us to come close together, and that constraint worked in favor of our interactions.
