Oh, wait, I already do some of these things... ;-)Brief synopsis (for those who don't like to click that much):Old way => information/knowledge held in a "fiefdom" by a small group of players ; knowledge workers are limited in power and by territory, knowledge as a process, rigid ways of organizingBrief discussion of the long tail (see: Wikipedia for a complete overview of the long tail term)New way => Web 2.0 and beyond in information centersKnowledge workers are
- Everywhere -- boundaries of authority and territory are blurred
- Understand the institutional culture
- Share information freely (the slideshow adds distributes, but isn't that part of sharing?)
- Use peoplecentric/usercentric, SOCIAL systems
- Use tagging and social networking tools (eh... I consider those to be one current functionality of information systems focused on people...)
