While articulation (for traditional, 'explict' kind of KM) requires good writing skills, the realm of communication is much beyond that.<BR/><BR/>It's about an understanding of what mediums work best to be able to most effectively 'transmit' information. As Knowledge Management, or Knowledge Sharing professionals isn't our job to create an environment conducive for effective collaboration. No how do people collaborate, what appeals to them and what doesn't - including the medium (say Web 2.0) and language (say twitter/SMS kind)is something that will fall in the communication realm for sure.<BR/><BR/>Of course you can argue that it really is about understanding human behavior, but 'communicating' with humans effectively to get the desired behavior is definitely the task of a master communicator, who in this case doubles up as a KM/KS professional..<BR/><BR/>What say?Sameerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917263997914174206noreply@blogger.com
