Here is something for folks to chew on:
As part of my library science degree at Dominican University, I am taking a class focusing on competitive intelligence. On the first night of the class, the professor challenged (in a good way) my thinking about KM. His challenge to me was "Is the information we gather as part of a KM capability current?" Can it be used for real time strategic decision making?
I started to think about this....If all we use our KM capability for is to capture lessons learned and client experience, this is by nature information that is not timely. We can use it to help not step in the same holes as we did before but how can we use it in a forward thinking way to help our organizations respond to the fluid nature of business.
Any thoughts on that...please comment.

Information collected in traditional KM systems is almost guaranteed to be out of date as soon as it is "published." Particularly, taken in the light of being able to make decisions and take immediate action in business.
If this is so, what do we need to do in business to enable a function like competitive intelligence, where the information needs to be current and useful in some way.

Eugene,
If we define Knowledge as the learning of putting information into action, than Knowledge cannot be created upfront an experience. Captured knowledge needs to be appropriately applied to scenarios (thats why it should say appropriate practices, not best practices) and again the learning captured for future scenarios. Therefore the saying 'trial and erro', 'look and learn', 'learn from your mistakes'.
Appropriate application of knowledge to scenarios will allow for the reduction of wasted time and resources - getting the job done better and quicker - the old comparison of the 30year experienced handyman against the booksmart XGeneration homeowner.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
