Taxonomy Development Poster in Simplified Chinese
This is the Chinese version of the Taxonomy poster that Patrick shared in 2012.
To download the PDF version of the Chinese poster, click here.
I had enjoyed being part of the process of translating the original poster into Chinese. It felt like visiting an old friend. While I had studied Chinese for about 12 years there was never a need or opportunity to use it in business – until now, 22 years later.
I’d be interested to know if anyone of you finds the translated poster useful.

Narrative Based KM Competencies Framework (video was made in October 2008)
This video was made for the Cognitive Edge network as a mini-case study of using narrative techniques. It describes an iKMS (http://www.ikms.org) project to develop a self-development competencies framework for knowledge managers in Singapore. We started with anecdote circles to collect stories of knowledge manager experiences, and from them and prior research on typical KM roles the participants built archetypes. Knowledge managers susbsequently built “competency wheels” for each archetype using Dave Snowden’s ASHEN framework as a base. The research was conducted by Awie Foong for iKMS, directed and supported by Patrick Lambe, and will be published by iKMS in October 2008.

Steve Ellis’ Keynote for KM Singapore 2009 Conference (recorded on 13 August 2009)
This is the keynote address from Dr Steve Ellis of HSBC at the KM Singapore Conference 13 August 2009. The topic was “knowledge based working in the current economic climate” and Dr Ellis argued that while the pressures of an economic crisis tended to make managers less prone to think in terms of long term KM investments and gains, this environment (a) shows the value of knowledge worker skills and (b) focuses knowledge managers on delivering tangible value.
