I gave this presentation at the XIII Conferencia International de la APTE on June 16, 2015. The theme of the conference was 'organization 2.0'.

1. Tech parks are
social businesses

4. Fundamentals

5. We think a lot about processes.
They are valuable.
step 1 step 2 step 3 step n

6. We do a lot in networks, how do we support
them?

7. Support processes and networks. Make
networks visible, they speed up processes

8. potential
blogs, prediction markets
weak
social networks,
microblogs
strong
wiki’s, bookmarking
Understand ties

9. Knowledge management principles
1. Knowledge can only be volunteered, it cannot be conscripted.
2. We only know what we know when we need to know it.
3. In the context of real need few people will withhold their knowledge.
4. Everything is fragmented.
5. Tolerated failure imprints learning better than success.
6. The way we know things is not the way we report we know things.
7. We always know more than we can say, and we always say more than
we can write down.
