Movimiento de la Economía del Conocimiento (KM Movement)
Outline from Carrillo’s The KM Movement: Current drives and future scenarios
KM Phenomenon:
Economical
Social
Cultural
KM: Systemic application of scientific understanding about knowledge as a deliberate strategy by individuals, organizations or societies to optimize the production od value.
Causes:
1 Underlying drives
· K practices have been with us from dawn of civilization; record and transfer experience.
· Very recently formal link bw k & generate value
· Differences:
· it constitutes a technology,
· it is founded on a science
· implies formal link bw k & creation of wealth
· eco drives give k attention by decision makers
2 Drive 1 Obsolescence rate of competency base
· Increase speed change know how, tech, info so workers need to be life long learners
· Training from support to essence in work enviroment
3 Drive 2 Weight on intangible assets in Competency Market Value
· The need to account value of intangible assets
· Difference bw book value and market value
4 Drive 3 Efficiency pressures to cope with massive information
· Cope with overwhelming flood of data (how to use info NO K)
Enabler 1
Social awareness of K base value: higher edu, K0 higher employment, occupation & earnings
Enabler 2
Convergence of new science and technology. Unprecedented array of scientific and technologic resources to build K societies.
State of the art
Dispersion phase and the Scarcity Paradox: Explosion in business NO scientific / academic work. K managed as an object.
Institutionalization phase: practitioner network. Initial consensus about core process & competencies.
Mapping KM Process and competencies: Value system, Human Capital, and Instrumental Capital
Second Order KM: mov managing itself . Discoveries advance as the method of discovery advances.
The Fate of the Eart
Intrinsic KM development factors (self awareness & self management)
Potential negative impacts (bigger gap bw rich and poor economies, K elite get trapped within a self contained system of beliefs)
Potential positive impacts (social accountability K eco brings enrichment of the work experience, K workers become capital carriers)
KM and the Emergence of a Global Consciousness improve our capabilities
· Develop consciousness
· Develop society as a whole
