Understanding and Co-Creating  Sustainable Climate Resilience in Society (open access)

Understanding and Co-Creating Sustainable Climate Resilience in Society

How can Knowledge and Information management professionals contribute to co-creating sustainable climate resilience in society? What are the sustainable climate-resilient futures we want to see take place in a global, interdependent world, and what is the Knowledge and Information management professionals’ role in making these scenarios happen? K&I Management professionals have essential roles to play in addressing the crises, risks, and urgency that our environment is facing. Their work as teachers, researchers, and experts in processing data and knowledge are crucial to how our world will develop in the incoming decades. In this interactive workshop called knowledge Huddle – developed by GRASP Network – participants are stimulated in a creative way with the use of art to reflect on the above-mentioned questions. Art helps us to imagine alternative futures, and new scenarios, but not only. It also connects to our feelings and emotions and speeds up creative processes. With this creative approach, the workshop tries to grasp what actions are needed. From individual behavior to organizational, national, and international climate actions, all levels are interwoven and interdependent. In this scene starting from the personal/individual is essential. What can each of us individually do but also how can we collectively make …

Understanding Risk Under Conditions of Inherent Uncertainty

The 17th International Conference on Knowledge Management was held in the historic city of Potsdam, Germany. Since the conference was among the first post-pandemic face to face conferences, the overall theme of the 17th edition of the ICKM conference rightly focused on “Knowledge, Uncertainty and Risks: From individual to global scale” at different levels of analysis and agency. This document highlighted one of the keynote speeches by Dave Snowden is the founder of one of the five schools of sense-making, and takes an approach which draws heavily on natural science, in particular complex adaptive systems theory, cognitive neuroscience and the biological end of anthropology.

Using Data Visualization Tools to Mitigate the Influx of Information in Organizations (open access)

Using Data Visualization Tools to Mitigate the Influx of Information in Organizations

Considerable research has been conducted on the topic of information overload using different approaches, from marketing and customer demand to information technologies and sciences, and even among mental health professionals. In business the critical question is how does information overload impact processes, operations, and profitability, and how can data visualization help to solve issues with data management and consumption in organizations. The ability to quickly and effectively process information and make decisions equates to organizational survival in a dynamic, knowledge-based economy where all segments of society are heavily affected by information technologies and systems and data management industries. The growing number of systems apparatuses challenges both individuals and organizations, resulting in reports of fatigue and experiences that compromise successful performance. The objective of this literature review is to discuss how data visualization tools help address information overload and optimize decision making and the business intelligence process in organizations. It concludes that data visualization, indeed, is critical in helping individuals capture, manage, organize, visualize, and present understandable data, but that decision making is affected by cognitive factors that interfere with data processing and interpretation in decision makers.

Value Exchange Exploration Supporting  Project-Based Learning (open access)

Value Exchange Exploration Supporting Project-Based Learning

Project-based learning (PjBL) allows learners to focus on a topic of their interest and apply the presented and acquired knowledge in their current (work) practice. When applied in institutional contexts, these particularities have to be recognized for stakeholder-centered learning support. In this paper we report on identifying and designing value exchanges between concerned stakeholder groups by methodological deployment of the Value Network Analysis. The individual and collective perception of PjBL experiences could be externalized and design inputs of involved and addressed stakeholder groups could be developed in a non-disruptive way. The results give way for increasing self-efficacy of knowledge acquisition and skill development in (digital) learning environments.

Workgroup KM  Certification (ISO  30401/DIN SPEC  91443) (open access)

Workgroup KM Certification (ISO 30401/DIN SPEC 91443)

New standards (ISO 30401 and DIN SPEC 91443) provide new momentum for knowledge management initiatives. Certification becomes a priority to demonstrate KM-proficiency on an organizational level to external partners (customers, suppliers, future employees) as well as to create a sense of urgency within organizations, in particular among organizational leadership. In this workshop, a joint working group of two independent communities and a research organisation, the Association of Knowledge Management for German speaking countries and the Federal Association of Intellectual Capital Statements e.V. presents the framework of DIN SPEC 91443 which was designed specifically for SMEs to operationalize the KM requirements of ISO 30401. The general objective of the workshop is to reflect on suitability of various instruments of KM, in particular the Intellectual Capital Statement – Made in Germany, to deliver on the standards requirements. Looking at some practical cases, an early-stage concept of auditing structures and procedures will be discussed. As a result of the workshop, the organizers aim to propose an auditing framework to certify knowledge management systems as a follow up.

Z39.50 Interoperability Testing Framework for Online Library Catalogs Using Radioactive MARC Records (open access)

Z39.50 Interoperability Testing Framework for Online Library Catalogs Using Radioactive MARC Records

This document discusses a Z39.50 Interoperability Testing framework. In a first phase of the Z39.50 Interoperability Testbed, a large dataset of MARC records was used. In this work, the authors are exploring how a set of special, diagnostic MARC records can be developed and used to identify interoperability problems between a Z39.50 client and a Z39.50 server providing access to a database of bibliographic records supporting the search and retrieval functions of an online library catalog. The authors refer to these special, diagnostic records as radioactive MARC records. It discusses the various components and identifies the tasks related to developing and implementing the components.
