But the thing is the an expert talking to a peer, will get into a different conversation than an expert talking to a novice.Joitskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087406142343521335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18223796.post-1155643679844004142006-08-15T14:07:00.000+02:002006-08-15T14:07:00.000+02:00I don't think it is just the problem between exper...I don't think it is just the problem between experts and novices. It is also the skills of how to tranfer knowledge. What I mean is, some experts can TALK PLAIN langauge so that the novices do not feel stupid. OR the expert knows how to judge how much to "give" ... to make what is given meaningful. <BR/><BR/>It is no different from teaching. Experts do need the skills of knowledge transfer. <BR/><BR/>If you put experts and novices into different pockets, what would be the purpose of KS? KM?<BR/><BR/>Sometime ago I mentioned: perhaps the key to knowledge sharing is NOT to ask experts to come and talk, BUT to TEACH novices/greens how to ASK questions. Well, to do that, we have a different ball-game. Learning to ask good questions is the key to success of KM. I strongly believe.hoonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420717810111331458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18223796.post-1154882148986503362006-08-06T18:35:00.000+02:002006-08-06T18:35:00.000+02:00thanks for your comment marnix! that reminds me of...thanks for your comment marnix! that reminds me of the story in communities of practice book by Wenger, Snyder and Mc.dermott where the experts withdrew into a separate group because the CoP had become too boring for them.Joitskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087406142343521335noreply@blogger.com
