Knowledge Management - The "wiki" way

March 6th, 2008 - Session 3

Knowledge Management - a great example is Wikipedia - visit www.wikipedia.org for learning about this great knowledge management example.

Wikipedia takes advantage of light knowledge.
The goal is to make knowledge input, modification, and access very easy (low transaction cost).
Rely on a network or people to create a large meaningful aggregate asset out of many small chunks of light knowledge.
Provide technology and techniques to aggregate, integrate, improve.

Did you know the meaning of the word "wiki"?

“wikiwiki” is derived from the Hawaiian language and means fast.
Wiki is the technology to write and maintain web pages in collaboration: fast, simple, immediate, where knowledge can be added or corrected by anyone.
