The IEEE Communications Society have recently published an impressive survey on key blockchain use cases in the IoT world. One topic which I found most interesting is on how blockchains can help secure IoT solutions.

Meemim Retires its Free Knowledge Management Platform for Business Users

Meemin Knowledge Management platform discontinued …

This is sad news, revealing – once again – the following: Knowledge Management (even more so Knowledge Transfer) is not about the latest, hottest or most convenient software or platform. KM and KT are complex, comprising a number of factors (potentially) contributing to successful outcomes. We need to start thinking about KM and KT as ecosystems. I will elaborate on this in future publications.

The AFRD-Framework®  which I have just published (see also my previous blog post) hints at the ecosystem idea. The AFRD booklet will be available on download platforms, shortly.

Introducing: AFRD. Working agily in KT

I am happy to announce the introduction of the AFRD-Framework® to a wider community. AFRD (Aggregating, Featuring, Reviewing, Doing) represents a results-oriented process and a new way of working agily to achieve knowledge transfer (KT) in knowledge intensive environments, specifically in knowledge intensive firms (KIFs).

The AFRD-Framework®

AFRD has come a long way, has been challenged and questioned and – at the same time – has had numerous supporters, specifically Dr. Ivana Adamson (University of Gloucestershire) and Dr. Doris Burger (Danube University, Krems) – both have provided enormously helpful feedback on the architecture of AFRD.

The AFRD-journey actually commenced back in 2010, when I was pursuing new ways of achieving KT within fast-moving start-up companies. First efforts failed, and the approach was further elaborated over the years to follow.

The original hardcopy has just been delivered to the university of Gloucestershire, and a paperback (to be ordered on a number of online platforms) will be published, shortly.

Let’s create a new era of working agily in KT, together.
