Slides from his parting thoughts.

"Knowledge management is a core skill of the New Economy, and it requires discernment and discovery rather then absorption and recall" 
      Van Weigel, Deep Learning for a Digital Age

As a core skill for everyone:

• How can I propagate the KM meme and KM skills?
• How can I improve my KM skills throughout my career? Keep my skills fresh?
• What do I need to do to reach my personal tipping point, where my KM learning starts to provide results? 

I liked your distinction between knowledge work and the metawork of improving k-work at the periphery and outside the process. Increasing knowledge vs. Accellerating the rate of change.

Jim, do you have a summer KM reading list?

How to 0wn the Internet in Your Spare Time is mostly about the next evolutions of internet worms; faster to spread and more intractible by an order of magnitude.

We don't have a natural immunity to these attacks.

We need a Cyber- "Center for Disease Control" to be part of our immune system.

Given the magnitude of Internet-scale threats as developed in the previous sections, we believe it is imperative for the Internet in general, and for nations concerned with cyberwarfare in particular, to attempt to counter the immense risk.

We argue that use of biological metaphors reflected in the terms "worms" and "viruses" remains apt for envisioning a nation-scale defense: the cyber equivalent of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States [CDC02], whose mission is to monitor the national and worldwide progression of various forms of disease, identify incipient threats and new outbreaks, and actively foster research for combating various diseases and other health threats.

We see an analogous "Cyber-Center for Disease Control" (CDC) as having six roles:

• Identifying outbreaks.
• Rapidly analyzing pathogens.
• Fighting infections.
• Anticipating new vectors.
• Proactively devising detectors for new vectors.
• Resisting future threats.

Spend tax dollars on this. It's a question of public health.
