Thought Streams, White Papers and Additions
to Site
Thought Streams and WHITE PAPERS from the co-founders
Thought Streams are just that, literally a moment by moment, conversational
style stream of thought on a subject that catches our attention and weaves a
tapestry of thought around itself. Thought streams have not been researched, and
are shared to elicit new thoughts and ideas to help us all learn and understand,
so we invite your feedback below. Selected responses will be embedded in the web
site to facilitate further thoughts. Thought streams often elicit more questions
than answers. In contrast, White Papers generally combine new ways of
thinking with previously-experienced and/or well-researched material.

This book provides a glimpse through time at the breadth of the field of KM

interviewing 34 thought leaders across four continents. There are 17
chapters that are down-loadable that characterize the Field and summarize much
of the research in the depth study below. Areas covered include: the
Relationship of KM with IM, IT, BPR, TQM and Organizational Learning; the KM
