Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced

Course Description:

'' As a formal discipline, Knowledge Management is very young. And many of its practitioners would even deny that it is a formal discipline. So it’s not surprising that there haven’t been very many clearly recognizable conceptual approaches to it that have gained currency and popularity. In the Gateway Workshop, the distinction between First and Second Generation KM was emphasized and the point was made that Second Generation KM focuses on enhancing both how we make new knowledge and how we integrate it our organizations. Among conceptual approaches to Second Generation KM, there are only three that have gained adherents beyond the authors of the approaches themselves. These are the Knowledge Creation Approach, the Complex Systems Approach, and The Critical Rationalist Approach (which, as developed in KM, also incorporates complexity theory).

Of the three, the Knowledge Creation approach is probably most popular, and has had the most exploration in KM. The complex systems approach has had a lesser number of adherents, but probably more have been trained in it than in the Critical Rationalist (CR) Approach. This Workshop, however, will focus on CR, because (1) it is growing, (2) it provides a vision for KM, (3) it provides a strong combination of both epistemology and ontology for KM, and (4) it is motivating an increasing amount of good KM-related work in universities that promises to influence future generations of theory and practice in industry. The Workshop will cover:

The General Outlook of CR

The Meta-contexts of Justificationism and Criticalism

The Tetradic Schema and the Knowledge Life Cycle

Emergence, Complexity, and Evolutionary Epistemology

Objective Knowledge

The Idea of the Ecology of Rationality and KM

Visions for KM

Open Teams

Communities of Inquiry

The Open Enterprise
