One from Holland the other from the Phillippines. To visit another friend who is a Bhutanese. Initially I am supposed to join them but I chickened out due partially of the remoteness of the location and my health. And then also the altitudes which also would affect my health. <BR/><BR/>We often forget that internet and other telecommunications media are tools. They 'present' information. While decision making is still in our own hands. <BR/><BR/>Many years ago during my initial introduction to KM, and the nature of the company I used to work for, I came to realize that KM if not manage properly, eventually 'real knowledge' would be in the hands of a few selected people. While the rest of us just follow instructions and at the mercy of the hands of those who controlled 'real knowledge'. My main objection then, and it is still now, we have to promote 'decision making skills' and not just center on creating content. Contents show us what is available, but how to use contents is crucial. <BR/><BR/>Since you are going to China, I will use a Chinese saying: when there are 3 persons together, there would be a teacher among them on certain topic. ??? early Chinese CoP?? :) . In other words, when there is a group of people, there will be talking, there will be discussions, there will be wisdom created. And we will learn from each other.hoonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420717810111331458noreply@blogger.com
