Cognitive Edge - Getting Started
Here is a relatively new weblog that has just been grabbing some more momentum lately and which I am sure plenty of folks out there would be interested in following up further, specially if you are into sensemaking, storytelling, narrative and Knowledge Management in general, amongst other things. Indeed, it looks like the good old Cynefin center is now a thing of the past and its successor, Cognitive Edge, has just been launched. The great thing about all this is that Dave Snowden has already gotten started with the first initial weblog post where he is detailing what Cognitive Edge will be up to over the next few months and how you can engage in the different conversations with them. By the looks of it, Dave is actually going to make use of a weblog to share his thoughts and engage with the rest of the readership through the usual comments. To get things started he is actually suggesting three other worth while reading weblogs related to Knowledge Management that you should all be familiar with as well. I have been subscribed to them myself for quite some time now and I certainly agree with Dave’s comments that they are all worth while subscribing to. Here they are in case you may not be aware of them:
- Euan Semple’s The Obvious?
- Shawn, Mark and Andrew’s Anecdote
- And, finally, Patrick Lambe’s Green Chameleon
Thus I guess that makes four different weblogs to be added to your OPML file(s), in case you haven’t done it already and continue reading some more on other different KM perspectives. But that is not all of it because Dave did also mention that very shortly they will be setting up a wiki and a discussion group along with the availability of a new course schedule. Thus it looks like things are starting to get busier with Cognitive Edge and it would certainly be worth while following it up.
Welcome to the other side of the blogosphere, Dave !

Snowden and Cognitive Edge are blogging…
David Snowden has dropped Cynefin for Cognitive Edge, and he has started a blog. It will be interesting to see where he goes with this form of communication.

Thanks for the heads up and for the trackback, Jack ! Good stuff ! Yes, it looks like there would be a few of us, KMers, who would be watching the space over at Cognitive-Edge and see how it would develop. I, too, look forward to Dave’s insights in this relatively “new” medium where he is now sitting at the other end of the chair. It should be fun, I am sure, as well as entertaining and enlightening all the way.

[...] A few days ago I mentioned how I was really glad that Dave Snowden had finally ventured into the blogosphere and created a weblog in Cognitive-Edge. I bet I was not the only one who was very much looking forward to that. I am not sure about you folks, but I haven’t been disappointed one single bit ever since he got to write different enlightening and thought provoking weblog posts that would certainly make you think about things twice before you could just move into the next thing. Yes, I am glad he actually got started with Cognitive-Edge’s weblog. Most people out there wouldn’t probably know that Dave was actually one of the main reasons why I entered the Knowledge Management world few years ago. Back then, when he was still working for IBM, I had the privilege of attending a number of different conference events where he was one of the speakers and his knowledge and in-depth views of what Knowledge Management is all about inspired me in such a way that by the end of the event I knew I wanted to follow a career path within KM, whether it would be inside IBM or elsewhere.
