Knowledge Sharing - The "New" Power in the Enterprise I grew up with the concept that knowledge is power and that hoarding knowledge could lead to a strong power base in an organization. That's not an unusual view from the recent past and fits a hierarchical structure inside a pre-information age company. In the old structure information generally flowed in one direction and had to pass many choke points. In the days of interoffice mail, bulletin boards, and face to face meetings it's easy to see how information could pool at certain points.

Cruise wrote in his giddy inaugural “weibos”: “It’s exciting to be here with you. We look forward to learning more about Weibo” and “Hello!

Can you solve "Einstein’s Riddle"? - Dan Van der Vieren For your convenience, here is a list of all the clues: 1. The Brit lives in the house with red walls. 2. The Swede has a dog. 3. The Dane drinks tea. 4. The house with green walls is directly to the left of the house with white walls. 5. The owner of the house with green walls drinks coffee. 6. 10 Enterprise Social Networking Obstacles - The BrainYard Why wouldn't every organization flock to the vision of an agile, transparent, people-centered, and collaborative team? Let's count the reasons. I enjoy telling enterprise 2.0 success stories, and I've told a lot of them over the past year. Success stories are seductive because they are much easier to obtain than stories about social business failures. Vendors serve up success stories on a silver platter, whenever they can convince a customer to serve as a reference.

Social Media Links Look at the logos on the left. Chances are you recognize them all instantly?

US Congressional Panel Tackles China's Great Firewall, Seeking a WTO Intervention The US Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) held a new hearing in Washington yesterday to discuss the “human toll and trade impact” of China’s censorship of the web – aka it’s Great Firewall (GFW) system. It comes at a time when the US is asking the World Trade Organization (WTO) to press China for greater transparency in its GFW, which blocks a lot of foreign social media as well as general sites that contain views and material that Beijing authorities consider ‘sensitive’ or ‘inharmonious.’ The CECC hearing, chaired by Senator Sherrod Brown, featured five witnesses who talked of everything from trade laws to political dissent. One of them, Alex Li, is a former Chinese national whose father was imprisoned for views expressed online about the ruling Party. But first, Mr Brown said of the GFW in his opening remarks (I quote from written statements, not the video that’s embedded below): CECC chair, Senator Sherrod Brown.

Student Data can Reveal At Risk Students Sooner So much institutional and student success depends on being able to identify early, and predict an “at risk” student. Without the use of a learning management system (LMS), traditional methods of analyzing student data and red-flagging possible at risk students relied upon a fairly narrow analysis of a student’s history, such as: Those who have taken a gap yearFull-time employedPart-time enrolled But these only look at the high-level picture and not at the individual work that each student is doing in a course.
