Portal KMOL is a web site dedicated to Knowledge Management and
Organisatonal Learning (http://www.kmol.online.pt). It was launched in
April and has monthly updates. May edition is already on-line. Although
it's mainly in portuguese-language, I'm sending direct links to the
english-language pieces of content.
I suggest a closer look at the interview with Mark McElroy, to a Lotus
Knowledge Discovery System review and also at the short text by Peggy
Stuart. It verbalizes the ideas the author has about what a learning
organization looks like. Although it was published last month in
Portuguese, only this month I was able to translate it.
If you enjoy portal KMOL and find it useful, please forward this alert to
your friends.
If you want to receive an e-mail alert when the portal each time the
portal is updated (monthly), please send your e-mail address to
editor@kmol.online.pt. (That e-mail alert will contain direct links to the
english content.)
Have fun!
Best regards,
Ana Neves

Knowledge Management?, That? (by Ana Neves)
Last month, the CIO magazine launched an on-line poll. The question was:
"Does your company have a KM initiative under way?" The poll is over and I
must confess I was very surprised with the results: from 330 votes, 143
(43.3%) were negative, while 187 (56.7%) said yes.
This small text intends to explain the reason why I was surprised, and
present the possible justifications for the results.

Introducing T-shaped managers: knowledge management's next generation (MT
