“Collaboration
is the ability of two or more people to share complex information over
time and space on an ongoing basis for a common goal. Collaboration is not
intuitive, and is usually an unnatural act. Technology only solves about
20% of the problem, the other 80% deals with people and process.
“Companies
will be drawn into an awareness of their intellectual capital as they
start to get involved in value networks with their customers, suppliers,
etc. The knowledge economy will be part of developing and interlocking
value networks.”
“Most
vendors of collaboration or KM tools are great at building technology and
very poor about expressing how that technology can be of benefit to an
end-user. The better the broadcast (information) fits into the receivers
context, the faster the receiver can process it and turn it into knowledge
(act upon it).”
