Jim McGee is on a roll with his most recent short essays on KM. Having recently attended Training 2003 here in Atlanta (I go every year) I am struck by just how much energy gets put into technology training -- what buttons to click, how to submit, how to follow instructions, etc. -- but how it is often left to the individual to figure out just how all that button-clicking, link-making, screen-grabbing stuff really helps them. As Jim points out, it's our responsibility to figure that out. But we need to be sure spread that knowledge as widely as possible once we have it, clueing in as many friends, co-workers, and colleagues as we can. Only in sharing the pathway can we reach the goal of collaborative productivity.
Knowledge workers and productivity tools

[...] The fundamental challenge, and opportunity, is that we've been content to focus on increasing the power and flexibility of our technology tools while assuming that knowledge workers will figure out how to take advantage of that power. As knowledge workers it's our responsibility to do more of that figuring out. We need to stop counting on the marketing promises of technology vendors and start learning how to use the tools we've already got. [via McGee's Musings

By the way, this is my first post from NewzCrawler using the RPC metaweblog api built into Radio. Pretty cool.
