While enterprises continue to sink money into enterprise KM systems, employees continue to flock towards tools that help them and their peers get work done - tools like Google Docs, Basecamp,Meebo, Zoho etc., Social software would play a key role in any enterprise knowledge ecosystem. You would not want to bet against the internet, but at the same time you don’t want corporate content on third party servers - or maybe thats the way forward. CKOs need to deliver collaborative knowledge ecosystems that work - something that is at least as good as what employees use in the internet. Incumbent players are innovating fast with loads of “social features” : MOSS 2007, Lotus QuickR & Connections and BEA Aqualogic’s Pages and Pathways. CKOs/CIOs need to be looking at upgrading to these newer platforms to catalyze collaboration. There are other options as well : Standalone wiki platforms like Socialtext or a bundled offering like SuiteTwo . I believe that it is important not to fall in love with “enterprise knowledge” which would force you to devise a complex taxonomy and then you end up building a highly scalable,robust, secure, out-of-the-world KM system that no one uses. Focus on individual and group productivity and capture interactions seamlessly and create conditions for knowledge to flow across groups. Let value accrue bottom-up. Enterprise knowledge will emerge from the interactions happening in the informal social nets in your organization.
