The Future of Knowledge by Verna Allee -- I'm beginning to see a pattern in the weblogs that I read. There are the project management blogs, the internet/social software blogs, the political blogs (which are starting to influence my personal Unfocused blog), and a new category seems to be congealing in my bookmarks -- Knowledge Management. In that category, Jay Cross of the Internet Time Blogpoints to this book, catching my attention with the statement, "There is really only one management question: What do we need to pay attention to in order to be successful?" Jay takes notes on the book in public, and includes a pointer to the author's site. One of the key takeaways from this and my other KM reading is that, knowledge is a network thing. No one can really grow knowledge alone. It's one of those things that requires and benefits from interactions, interdependencies, and all those other inter-things.
