I know it’s coming… I know I’ll get through… Still feels scary…
It’s about loosing focus and finding it again. Not really loosing, but realising that my current scope is too wide and that I have to find a way to narrow it down.
To be more specific it’s about finding out what shape my personal KM model should have:
who needs it: so far I was talking about contribution to the theory (which of course I need anyway), but I’m realising that my main driving force is about providing practitioners with a framework for thinking about knowledge work, their own or others’, to be used to identify directions for change or technology fit
how deep/detailed it should be: how far should I go into describing specific activities and their relations? how do I know that I’m ‘there’ and the model is good enough to stop
what specific questions should I asked in my weblog studies to be able to integrate the results into the model
And – something else – if you are native English speaker and have time this Friday you can help me a lot by reviewing a paper I’m writing right now. It’s an improved version of Discovering the iceberg of knowledge work: A weblog case… I was planning to take more time finishing it, but I just found out about paper submission deadline too good to miss, so time is short (as usual :)
So, in case you are ready to help and don’t know how to contact me: email or Skype
