Personal knowledge networking

Personal knowledge networking

Various technologies and behaviours support Personal Knowledge Networking:

Personal Knowledge Networking and social networks — for example, wikis, Really Simple Syndication (RSS) and relationship networks. Interest is also being driven by the realization that KM can happen without a lot of explicit governance. This trend is called "grass-roots KM" as opposed to traditional, top-down enterprise KM.

With PKN technologies, employees can get to the information they need by using:

* Personal knowledge search tools instead of searching on the corporate intranet
* Instant messaging and Short Message Service (SMS) instead of the telephone or e-mail
* Peer-to-peer file sharing instead of enterprise file servers
* A wiki instead of a team collaboration space
* "Blogging" instead of the enterprise's Web content management

PKN expands through grass-roots adoption within virtual teams and communities, and as a result, the tools in which an enterprise may invest for enterprise KM may not get as much usage as expected — particularly when operational support is weak for those technology solutions.
