Tuesday Night Takeaways – My Random Thoughts from Class (5/21/02) A big thanks to Jenny Levine for sharing how electronic communication is changing. Here theme of portability and having information where you are sounds like the basis of a knowledge management system. One of the concepts we have discussed in class is that in order to change the culture of a company to adopt a knowledge management system, you may need to wait a generation for new hires to become senior managers of a company. With all of the new electronic communication devices that the Net Generation is embracing, I am beginning to believe that we may actually start moving to a true paperless company. One concern that I have after each week is information overload. It seems to me that you can be inundated with information, but how do you find the needle in the haystack – the one nugget of information that you need? One way is to make sure the information is organized properly and kept up to date. But I think there will be an increased role for information agents – people or software or devices that can enable you to find the needle you are looking for. 11:02:24 AM
