TalkThree: A Tiny Idea for Knowledge Engagement
A new series of short articles for knowledge creators: Read, Write, and Think.
Some readers asked me to write about Personal Knowledge Management. To be honest, I don’t like the term PKM because I don’t like “Knowledge Management” which is a term used in the field of corporate management.
I prefer to use “Knowledge Engagement” to describe the “people — knowledge” relationship. For me, the term “Knowledge Management” refers to a perspective that sees knowledge as an entity or substance, a thing. In contrast to this substance view, I use the term “Knowledge Engagement” to refer to a process view that sees the “people — knowledge” interaction as a dynamic process.
If you read my book Knowledge Discovery: Developing Tacit Knowledge with Thematic Space Canvas, you will find that I am using Activity Theory to design an instrument for Knowledge Discovery Activity.
Today I decided to start a new series of short articles about knowledge engagement. I am not going to develop a new theory or a new theoretical framework. I want to share some tiny ideas about my daily reading, learning, and thinking. Some ideas are habits, some ideas are strategic techniques, and some ideas are just for fun.
