Indirectly Jim has defined Personal knowledge management. I have naturally focussed on an individual’s effective at managing knowledge because I believe that without that there is little hope for company wide initiatives.
There’s an old story that I’ve heard described as a Russion proverb. It says that if each one of us takes care of sweeping the sidewalk in front of our own home, we won’t need streetsweepers. It’s worth thinking about how that might apply to the world of knowledge work, both on the level of being an individual knowledge worker yourself and on the level of helping make the other knowledge workers that surround you more effective.
