Interesting document written by the city of Barcelona and reported in “The Knowledge City” that defines the attributes (check-list) for any city claiming to be a knowledge city:
According to a survey reported in the article Job Skills: Preparing Generation Z, communication/people skills should be taught to IT students. I would definitivly add “cultural competence” on top of the requirements. The message is clear for the nerds out there…
“Imaginez un monde sans pronoms ni ponctuation. Un monde dans lequel toute pensée complexe doit être tronçonnée en éléments de sept mots, avec des trucs en couleurs au milieu. [...] Ce monde n’est pas une fiction. C’est la réalité contemporaine d’une présentation PowerPoint.”
En complément de précedents posts PowerPoint is Evil et Great things can happen when you move beyond the bullet point, Le Temps couvre les critiques autour l’utilisation de PowerPoint (dans le monde de l’éducation notamment) dans l’article “Bienvenue au show PowerPoint, là où la pensée complexe se réduit à un schéma simpliste“.

Be aware of your audience not simply as the relatively few people who own desktops or handhelds – take into account the truly ubiquitous set of technologies (cellphones, smartphones, smartcards, etc) that are a dominant part of everyone’s daily lives. Here is why expending my knowledge to pratctical J2ME matters.
An introduction paper (Local Development Networks in Remote Areas and Knowledge Management) by Andra Aldea-Partanen on the role of social networks in policy making (innovation distribution, the role of informal and formal local networks, including them in a participatory process and building trust to leverage the discovery learning). Most importantly to me it defines concepts I am interested in including:
Social networks: “specific structures in which people as individuals and/or representatives of informal groups or formal organisations are inter-connected due to their common interests in one or more areas, sharing common norms and having certain expectations regarding their benefits”.
Learning regions: (american context:) “collector and repositories of knowledge and ideas and (that) provide and unerlying environment or infrastructure which faciliates the flow of knowledge, ideas and learning”. (european context:) “The territorial and institutional embeddednes of learning organisations and active learning”.
Trust: There is not only generalised trust (moralistic trust: based on belief that others share your fundamental moral values) but also the knowledge-based trust (presumes that trust depends on information and experience). The most important consequence of trust is that it forsters cooperation
Social capital: has three components: moral obligations and norms, social value (trust) and social networks (voluntary associations)

A blog can be a nice knowledge management tool but has its drawbacks: not ready to work well in collaborative context yet (content aggragation, awarness tools and trackback could help) and can create knowledge silos (no use of semantic web yet). Tools mixing the blogs and wikis features, known as Blokis, are emerging. Resources:
