I am not sure. Dave Snowden's comment to the article is quite clear that it does not. I am on the fence, but I think that the summary is true, Social Media type applications will gain more prevalence in the enterprise simply because so many baby boomers are beginning to clear out and so many millenials are moving in. If some boomers are in favor of social media then all the more reason for it's rise. <a href="http://r3.sharedcopy.com/70op6f#shcp0" > ^{link &raquo;}</a ></p> <blockquote class="comment_body comment_body2" >The technology stuff is reasonable, but the crude characterisation by age group is a nonsense. So called Boomers are amongst the highest adopters of social computing. Interestingly putting things into crude categories is a process based approach. People do not have ideas and attitudes by age group <a href="http://r3.sharedcopy.com/70op6f#shcp1" > ^{link &raquo;}</a ></blockquote> <blockquote class="comment_body comment_body3" >KM and SM look very similar on the surface, but are actually radically different at multiple levels, both cultural and technical, <a href="http://r3.sharedcopy.com/70op6f#shcp2" > ^{link &raquo;}</a ></blockquote> <blockquote class="comment_body comment_body4" >Nothing describes the motivation behind the creation of Facebook better than “because it was possible.” <a href="http://r3.sharedcopy.com/70op6f#shcp3" > ^{link &raquo;}</a ></blockquote> <blockquote class="comment_body comment_body5" >It takes no great genius to predict how the war will end. The Boomers will retire and the Millenials will win by default, in a bloodless end with no great drama. KM will quietly die, and SM will win the soul of Enterprise 2.0, with the Gen X leadership quietly slipping the best of the KM ideas into SM as they guide the bottom-up revolution.<a href="http://r3.sharedcopy.com/70op6f#shcp4" > ^{link &raquo;}</a ></blockquote> </span ></span> seanabrady 2 http://aboveandbeyondkm.blogspot.com.sharedcopy.com/2008/04/bc08d5681c1d6452cacec6d514141257.html#18063 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 11:40:10 +0000 <span class="content comments_count_5 withoutphoto" ><span class="text" > <blockquote class="comment_body comment_body1" > KM can be outsourced<a href="http://r1.sharedcopy.com/5s13amg#shcp0" > ^{link &raquo;}</a ></blockquote> <blockquote class="comment_body comment_body2" >KM can be solved by buying the right software<a href="http://r1.sharedcopy.com/5s13amg#shcp1" > ^{link &raquo;}</a ></blockquote> <blockquote class="comment_body comment_body3" > Communities of practice can be established by the top<a href="http://r1.sharedcopy.com/5s13amg#shcp3" > ^{link &raquo;}</a ></blockquote> <blockquote class="comment_body comment_body4" > KM is an IT function and should be given to the CIO<a href="http://r1.sharedcopy.com/5s13amg#shcp4" > ^{link &raquo;}</a ></blockquote> <p class="comment_body comment_body5" > I need to get out of the KM=Software mindset. <a href="http://r1.sharedcopy.com/5s13amg#shcp5" > ^{link &raquo;}</a ></p> </span ></span> seanabrady 2 http://aboveandbeyondkm.blogspot.com.sharedcopy.com/2008/05/ce3fefd89c5fd708de5fd80e379a24c0.html#15307 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 01:54:19 +0000 <span class="content comments_count_2 withoutphoto" ><span class="text" > <blockquote class="comment_body comment_body1" >So what does it take to create an environment that fosters innovation?
