Knowledge Management as a process yields tremendous potential for innovation, growth and increased profits and other KPIs. However, it is far from being simple, and the mixture of skills and expertise that provides benefits to the experience can also cause barriers. In an organisational ecosystem, where knowledge sharing and active participation are important and the diversity of contributors is often high, these barriers can be substantial.   The environment of an ecosystem raises business and people-related issues that can limit or prevent knowledge sharing among the different groups of participants. In order to bypass these issues, managers and entrepreneurs often ask...

  What makes Luis Suarez (Digital Transformation & Data Analytics adviser at Panagenda) insightful is not just his two decades of experience, it is the fact that he practices what he preaches. He challenges the way people communicate and collaborate by not relying on e-mail for all interactions and the way knowledge workers, typically, collaborate and share by promoting openness, transparency, trust, sustainable growth, engagement, connectedness and, overall, smart work.   He would say that he is a wirearchist, a Chief Emergineer and a People Enabler, and he explained why in this interview.    We had to ask about the e-mail first...

  Reintroduced by Moore nearly two decades ago, the ecosystem concept has been frequently discussed in management studies as a connection between system thinking and evolutionary economics. Today, rather than viewing ecosystems as platforms, they are viewed as structures of relationships between interacting participants. The ecosystem metaphor, on the other hand, is frequently used without being clearly defined, which in turn has yielded several somewhat overlapping concepts such as business, service, innovation, industrial and knowledge ecosystems.  Making Sense of Ecosystem Concepts To understand ecosystems, we must first understand system boundaries....

When asked to define corporate culture, one might draw an analogy between human beings and organisations by saying that just as a human beings have personalities, so do the organisations whose personality lies in their organisational culture. When you break it down into components, organisational culture is the outcome of a mix of tangible, easy measurable elements and intangible elements which are essential to organisational success. So what do we need for organisational success? A great leader, who knows how to merge mission, values, and vision into a strong organisational culture. Without exceptional leadership, even the best mission, values and vision statements cannot come...
