Power Struggle found an interesting article from Kevin Desouza, a Ph.D. student at UIC. Kevin sounds like someone I need to read more. No blog, but he does keep his papers at his UIC student page. He's written a few intersting-sounding things about tacit knowledge exchange in game rooms and over coffee.
"Facilitating Tacit Knowledge Exchange" but nothing beats personal contact
Desouza also understands that all management can do is create the environment. "Let nature take its course," he writes. He also cautions against the normal condition in management:
In organizations there is a tendency for some people to over or micromanage. Knowledge management cannot be fostered under these settings . . Secondly, changing to a [KM] culture does not happen overnight."
