Why Robins Don't Drink Milk And People Don't Share Knowledge - Judith ParkerFeverBee Limited
People are motivated to share knowledge for self-interested reasons like recognition, learning, and feeling empowered. However, changing sharing behaviors is difficult as knowledge tends to stay attached to individuals. An effective knowledge management approach takes a systems perspective and uses people's self interests to motivate sharing. It provides tools and processes for sharing where users naturally engage, like existing websites and meetings. Content should be timely, relevant and accurate to attract sharing and learning. Barriers to sharing should also be investigated to improve the system over time.
