At the New Club of Paris Future Center 2010 in Liechtenstein David Campbell gave a presentation on Melbourne being a knowledge capital. Here are my notes:

Heute habe ich einen Vortrag mit dem Titel "Ein Tag an meinem Wissensarbeitsplatz" beim BITKOM Arbeitskreis Knowledge Management in Darmstadt gehalten:

Wenn ich zurück im Büro bin, werde ich die Folien noch mit einem Audiomitschnitt unterlegen.

Im Jahr der Kreativität und Innovation ist das europäische Manifest für Kreativität und Innovation mit folgenden Grundsätzen entstanden:

1. Förderung von Kreativität in einem Prozess lebenslangen Lernens, bei dem Theorie und Praxis Hand in Hand gehen.
2. Verwandlung von Schulen und Universitäten in Orte, an denen Lernende und Lehrende kreativ denken und durch Praxis lernen.
3. Verwandlung des Arbeitsplatzes in einen Ort des Lernens.
4. Förderung eines starken, unabhängigen und vielfältigen kulturellen Sektors, der eine Plattform für den interkulturellen Dialog schafft.
5. Förderung wissenschaftlicher Forschung, um ein besseres Verständnis der Welt zu erlangen, das Leben der Menschen zu verbessern und Innovationsanreize zu schaffen.
6. Förderung schöpferischer Prozesse, Denkweisen und Instrumente unter Berücksichtigung der Bedürfnisse, Gefühle, Hoffnungen und Fähigkeiten der Nutzer.
7. Förderung von Innovationen, die zu Wohlstand und Nachhaltigkeit beitragen.

Die vorgeschlagenen Aktionsbereiche sind:

1. In Wissen investieren
2. Bildung neu erfinden
3. Initiative belohnen
4. Kultur bewahren
5. Innovationen fördern
6. Global denken
7. Die Wirtschaft umweltgerecht gestalten (Kommentar: vielleicht sollte man "(umwelt)gerecht" schreiben :)

Unter den Botschaftern sind z.B. Richard Florida und Karlheinz Brandenburg, (Mit-)Erfinder von mp3 und Mitarbeiter des Fraunhofer-Instituts, bei dem ich 1997 erstmalig mit Wissensmanagement konfrontiert wurde.

Today I presented the approach and lessons learned from the last 5 years of knowledge management in the Schaeffler Group. The slides are (with friendly permission of Paul Seren, head of Schaeffler KM) a combination and translation of the german slides presented at KnowTech 2006 (Expert Debriefing) and KnowTech 2009 (Schaeffler Wiki):

In the rising knowledge society more and more "early movers" produce so called intellectual capital reports (ICR) in addition to their traditional financial reports using methods like WB:Ö, Wissensbilanz made in Germany and InCaS.

To enable all the scientists and practitioners to learn from each other we suggest to upload all existing ICRs (and all the future ones) on scribd.com to get transparency.

How to upload an ICR on scibd.com?

1. You need to sign up at scribd.com to get a login.
   
2. Once you are signed up just login at scribd.com (you will see your username at the upper right if your logged in).
3. Click on "Publish" in the main navigation bar (green arrow).
   
4. Leave the publishing options like they are (Standard/Public) and click on "Publish" (yellow arrow!) to upload your ICR file (e.g. pdf or doc format).
   
5. Accept scribd's policies and make sure that you have the (copy)right to upload the ICR file.
   
6. Once the file is processed you get a small form to add some metadata to the file. You should 1.) enter the right title 2.) choose "Government&Organizations" as category 3.) IMPORTANT add at least "icreport" as tag and 4.) enter a proper description (to enable easy finding of the file).
   
7. Then click "Save" and your ICR is published.

How do I find ICRs?

There are two ways to monitor available ICRs:

After the KCS 2009 Jay Chatzkel from Progressive Practices provided a seminar on "Hong Kong as a Knowledge Capital" at the Knowledge Management Research Center at the PolyU. He talked about:

Knowledge Cities: A Case of City Dalian

• Speaker: Zhongtuo Wang (Dalian University of Technology, Chinese Academy of Engineering)
• Different types of knowledge differentiated by the level of explicitness: tacit, talked, written.
• A 2500 years old chinese textbook says: "Writing could not fully describe what people want to say".
• Knowledge City Definition: A city that is purposefully designed to encourage the nurturing of knowledge.
• "Organizations and people are knowledge nodes".
• Three interrelated processes are necessary in a knowledge city: local knowledge creation, transfer of knowledge from external source, transfer of that knowledge into productive activities.
• Dalin is a coastal city in the northeast part of china, chinese government worked out a strategy on developing indigenous innovation ("Innovative Dalin").
• Advantages of Dalin: High density of knowledge (23 universities and colleges), communication and transportation network, 3.16 million fixed and 5.11 million mobile phone users, rational industrial structure, commercial and financial center of china, high quality of life ("International Garden City").
• Dalin is the "Summer Davos" to host the World Economic Forum.
• "The process of developing a knowledge city is neither quick nor simple".
• Transformation process: knowledge resources, knowledge assets, knowledge capital, economic/social/cultural benefits.
• The intellectual resource is the most valuable: "We need I-Shaped, T-shaped and TT-shaped people".

Strategic Mind on Building Xi'

The Chair of this session was Giovanni Schiuma. He showed some inspiring videos about "Changing Tires can be dangerous" and linked it to the development of knowledge management in organizations. Further on he made a nice citation: "the pillars for the knowledge society are trust, friendship and happiness).
