The last few months have been rather interesting, with a significant increase in the number of readers coming here.

I’ve tried to keep the posts as diverse and interesting ( i hope ) so that there is always something worth reading everyday.

A big thank you to those of you who keep coming back day after day to read what i put up here and for those of you who have taken the time to comment and send me emails.

The reason for this post is to explore the option of structured advertising on GridLock. While i was initially satisfied with Adsense currently on the site i have started getting a few mails asking me whether i would be interested in featuring companies / products on this Blog.So, i thought i’d make this official to see how many of you out there would like to advertise on GridLock.

If you feel that you have a product that you would like to feature on this blog write to me ( aboutkm@gmail.com ).

Do keep reading, the last week the number of post had decreased from what i generally publish as i was away in China on a holiday ( shall be doing a short writeup about that when i get the time )

Cheers.

For those of you who have just stumbled onto GridLock…. What do we discuss here?

Knowledge Management :

“Every journey has a start point and a destination, making sure you get to the right destination is the job of a road map. To ensure you get to the destination on time, within budget and without accidents you need to make sure you have a damn good road map and a plan.”

Technology :

“A large percentage of my posts so far have touched upon technology in the KM sphere. Now, while a portion of you practicing KM out there might feel that technology has no place in KM i still feel that in this day and age creating a robust technology platform that can support a KM initiative is one of the most important milestones you can set for your company.”

Tech News :

“With the recent partnership of Microsoft and Facebook, Google has decided to speed up its plans to deploy a new social network that it hopes will be a one-stop-shop for software developers thereby making it easier to share video’s, music and so on.The reason for this frenzy is the development of “widgets” for sites like face book, that has propelled its reach to a much larger audience.”

Social Networking

“MySpace - A household name that’s recognized by almost anyone who has spent a little time on the internet. Founded in August 2003 by the then publicly traded company eUniverse .

Currently boasting over 200 million user accounts its one of the largest( and most influential ) social networking sites on the internet.”

Well the OS war for 2007 - 08 has officially started, and with the cost of a MAC almost on par with its equivalent in the PC price no longer is the deterrent it once was.

Leopard was recently launched with a lot of fanfare, boasting a slew of new features, visuals and upgrades to some existing features.

There is no doubt about the superior finish of the MAC, however i felt that you the readers might put a little more weight to a review conducted by our friends at PC world.

Read the complete review here.

Choosing the RIGHT Technology for KM

“This is a question that a lot of you might have battled with at some point in time and if i’m not mistaken continue to do so. Before we get into the “meat” of this post let me sum it up for you , there is NO right technology for KM.

While we all agree KM is more of a cultural initiative, there is no doubting that without a solid technology backbone chances are you’re heading down a dark road.

I’ve reviewed a large number of applications that claim to provide the perfect KM solution, and guess what? they don’t. No surprise there for those of you who’ve spent time trying to find an application that suites your needs. Please feel free to disagree with me, and if you’ve stumbled upon that “Perfect” KM tool do leave a comment. I’m sure the rest of my readers would love to get their hands on that information, as would I.”

Rewards OR Recognition

“One of the biggest challenges in Knowledge Management these days is getting people involved in the process. Unlike other initiatives which use a mix of the carrot and stick approach, KM can only be promoted using the carrot.

Now the challenge is, what motivates the average users to contribute towards the system? Is it the rewards or the recognition? From what i’ve seen its a balance between both.”

Is the Term KM misleading?

“The term “Knowledge Management” can be misleading at times. When i first got into this field a couple of years ago i was a little wary of what i was supposed to accomplish. The very idea of Managing Knowledge was something i just couldn’t wrap my head around.

Today, after having practiced KM in the real world and studied it, i’ve come to understand that true KM is more environment management than actual managing of knowledge.”
