Lively traffic to last month's KM article Sharing the Wealth warrants another foray into the territory....
Recognizing Joy London's influential blog for its recent citation:
excitedutterances:more than just an exception to the hearsay rule was named Internet Tools for Lawyers MVP Web Site for November by NetLaw.com Blog-watcher Jerry Lawson, who is the author of NetLawBlog writes: "excited utterances is considered a leading source of information about developments in law firm knowledge management. " (Previous recipients of the MVP Web Site award include American Lawyer Media's law.com, the ABA Legal Technology Resource Center, Law Technology News, and LexisNexis' lexisOne.)
PS Thanks to Jerry as well for his mention of Sharing The Wealth.
KMers will want to investigate Applied Knowledge Research Institute (http://www.akri.org/)
The site is clean, blessedly navigable, and chockful of usable information and leading KM thinking, paying keen attention to the intersection of human and machine. We think they are well along the right track. More about AKRI:
AKRI is a British business-centered research institute specializes in the application of Knowledge, Dr. John L. Gordon lists such areas of research concentration Human Intelligence and Creativity, and Machine Intelligence and Machine Learning.
AKRI offers support in all aspects of applied Intelligence and Intelligent Systems, including 8 annual member events worldwide, as well as a nice quarterly newsletter first issued Autumn 2000.
AKRI Products include patented methodologies and software support; eg, "Knowledge Structure Map" (KSM) is a methodology, which makes areas of human expertise (knowledge) visible, to help managers to develop action plans that may lead to other Knowledge Management initiatives. "Thinking, Reasoning and Problem Solving" (TRaPS) has been designed to clarify terms that define human mental processes, the way these relate to human knowledge and the concepts that enable these processes to lead to achievement.
Director John L. Gordon writes:
"The key role of the Institute is the pursuit of the fundamentals for understanding the application, representation and dissemination of knowledge....The rapid growth in the availability of modern technology (hardware and software) and a great demand by organisations for the capability to manage the knowledge asset, is overtaking human efforts to fully understand the systems that are being created....The information and now knowledge revolution that is taking place in human life is defining a need for a more rigorous approach to the application of knowledge. Better application, development and understanding of knowledge will help support the growth of human achievement....We are working towards a knowledge rich society."
Hear, hear.
