Now more than ever, we are witnessing the dynamic and interconnected relationship between technology and human interaction impacting the KM space. This is being driven in part by consumer device proliferation and changing user expectations exhibited by the extraordinary rise in use of social networking platforms – with the opportunities and challenges that they bring. The way we are using the web in our personal lives and the effectiveness of this form of online engagement, coupled with a deeper understanding of how social methodologies can be integrated into the business world is forcing large, corporate organisations - which have traditionally been challenged in adopting new ways of working or processing and integrating information – to change their approach to KM, treating information and knowledge as an asset, and can be used to drive value creation through sustaining and improving competitive advantage, delivering insights and enhancing team and organisational productivity.
