Abstract

The first generation of organizational knowledge management (OKM) focused on the capturing, storing, and reusing of existing knowledge. To be classed as second generation, systems need to facilitate the creation of new knowledge and innovation which requires creativity and the awareness that old knowledge becomes obsolete. Recent suggestions also urged to advance personal knowledge management (PKM) as an overdue support tool for knowledge workers in the rising creative class and knowledge societies. Based on the assumption of creative conversations between many individuals’ PKM devices, the autonomous systems are supposed to enable the emergence of the distributed processes of collective extelligence and intelligence, which in turn feed them. With a PKM prototype system pursuing these qualities, the paper illustrates the interaction between a user and external information-bearing hosts and vehicles. The resulting feedback loop incorporates Boisot’s I-Space Model, Dawkins’ Memes, Probst’s KM Building Blocks and Pirolli’s Sensemaking Model for Intelligence Analysis and supports the Nanatsudaki (Seven Waterfall) Model.

Fußnoten
1
Memes are (cognitive) information-structures that evolve over time
through a Darwinian process of variation, selection, and transmission. They are able to self-replicate utilizing mental storage in human hosts
and to influence their hosts’ behavior to promote further replication. Memes are virtual, and have no intentions of their own,
they are merely pieces of information in a feedback loop which
are encoded in vehicles for transmission between human hosts;
this loop facilitates their continued replication as mental copies
with their longevity being determined by their environment [4, 7, 9].

Probst’s eight building blocks of OKM: knowledge goals, knowledge identification, knowledge acquisition, knowledge development, knowledge distribution, knowledge use, knowledge preservation, and knowledge measurement [22].

“The goal of [organizational] KM is a practical one: To improve organizational capabilities through better use of the organization’s individual and collective knowledge resources. These resources include skills, capabilities, experience, routines, and norms, as well as technologies.” [22].
 
4
Organizational KM’s “overall objective is to maximize the enterprise’s Intellectual-Capital-related effectiveness and returns in all its forms.” [35].

Digital personal and personalized knowledge is always in possession and at the personal disposal of its owner or eligible co-worker, residing on personal hardware and/or personalized cloud-databases.
 
2.
Contents are kept in a standardized, consistent, transparent, flexible, and secure format for easy retrieval, expansion, sharing, pooling, reuse and authoring, or migration.

Information and functionalities can continually be used without disruption and independent of changing one’s social, educational, professional, or technological environment.
 
4.
Collaboration capabilities have to be mutually beneficial to facilitate consolidated team and enterprise actions that convert individual into organizational performances.
 
5.
The PKMS design and its complex operations are based on a concept, functionalities, and interventions which are clearly understood and are painlessly applied in practice.

“Meme Pool: The full diversity of memes accessible to a culture or individual. Learning languages and traveling are methods of expanding one’s meme pool” [12].
 
7
Memeplexes are groups of memes mutually supporting each other and
replicating together to benefit from competitive advantage [3].

Stewart and Cohen introduced the term ‘Extelligence’ for externally stored information; it represents the cumulative archive of human cultural experience and know-how accessible and augmentable by any individual who knows how. In their concept, Extelligence forms the external counterpart to the intelligence of the human brain/mind and deals in information whereas intelligence deals in understanding; together they are driving each other in a complicit process of accelerating interactive co-evolution [33].
