Here is the leverage point that will make knowledge management work and it depends on the existence of weblogs. The place where sharing matters most is not with the rest of the organization; it is with your future self.
Try the following experiment. Find and open a presentation that you gave at least six months ago. How much of the debate and discussion that went into the final product can you reconstruct from memory? How confident are you in that reconstruction? Bonus question: how many of you named the file "finalprensentationxx" where xx is some number between 2 and 20?
If you have a weblog, you also have a contemporaneous account of your thinking that you can examine.The primary beneficiary of this account is you as the knowledge worker who created it. You have preserved the raw material for reflection, out of which you will craft more capacity for better knowledge work.

>> Jim McGee thinks along similar lines. Yes, there seems to be a great value in process documentation for later reflection. I guess that is what I was getting it in this earlier post. In fact, I think that dynamic Webpublishing tools can be developed into reflective tools with relatively little effort.
