Week 6 Reflection Post

I really need to decide what platform to host my knowledge sharing - this is the most important thing - thought I'd just shoot that out there before I start to think about it.

Other reflections:
  • I think to be a productive blogger, I need to have a habit of blogging. 
  • To have a habit of blogging, I need to have a schedule that I can follow to start the whole thing. 
  • To have a schedule I need to sit down and think about priorities.
  • To sit down and think about priorities I need to have priorities HAAHAHA
I really want to go on the two day digital detox - But taking four modules online has made this nearly impossible. I think one way is to try and split the detox on two separate days, while trying my best to clear as much work earlier in the week. We'll see.

  1. I wanted to do the two day digital detox but I've been very sluggish with the readings for this week. :( I feel your pain.

    1. I know right? Sometimes it feels like if you slip up just a little bit, the work piles on quickly. Hahaha!

I'm back - Part 2 of 2

Building on what I mentioned in the last post on developing a community of practice for investment. I can think of just a few ideas, based on my reading of the subject. Essentially, I would argue that the community requires at least three main elements. Firstly, a common agreement or set of guidelines that dictate expectations on investment advice shared in the community can help to make clear two things - the possibility of success or profit as a result of said investment (namely that no investment is comes without risk) and, the expectation of adherence of advice between investors (namely, only you decide what you invest in - do not wildly trust others).  Secondly, a method of arbitration and moderation of disputes and information posted in the community. I would imagine that this is necessary to ensure that (1) fake news is not posted in the community that could harm it and, (2) to help ascertain veracity in disputes between investors/ members of the community. The main issue of...

Building a Shared Knowledge Base for your Organization!

On that train of thought - talking about knowledge sharing here - I've been trying to compile a list of articles to do with developing a community knowledge base. Now in my previous post, I was talking about knowledge sharing in an organization that does not have the infrastructure for a thriving internet community. This post is really to share two articles I found regarding the creation of a shared knowledge base. The first, I found on a blog called quandora that talks about the 5 benefits of knowledge sharing within an organization.  Here is the website: https://www.quandora.com/5-benefits-knowledge-sharing-organization/ As a summary, the five benefits are: Re-use the organization's best problem-solving experiences.  Improve decision-making. Increase growth and innovation. Improve customer service. Reduce the loss of tacit knowledge. Now the second article is more detailed, pertaining to a specific case - building self-service for customer support.  Here is the website:...

Knowledge sharing without web 2.0

I've been thinking about knowledge sharing and how to extract practices for my organization. Here's my problem, the organization that I work for does not have any infrastructure to support online sharing capabilities - part of the reason for this is that to implement the infrastructure would be far too costly, and there are security concerns.  I think it is possible though to have some kind of knowledge sharing via the intranet email communication and server file base - the question is: How do we make it attractive and intuitive enough that individuals are able to contribute to and find the information that they need for the knowledge sharing platform to thrive.  On the other hand, if this knowledge sharing platform becomes a community - who is going to curate and monitor the content for veracity and relevance? In my field, it is important that individuals operate with the latest information, I would assume that at the very minimum there needs to be some kind of taxonomy imple...
