Undoubtedly technology can do many things but people working together, sharing successes, learning from failures and also letting levity and laughter in will always be the keys to what is called Knowledge Management. Yes everything is happening much faster now but that doesn't always mean much better in terms of what we're learning.

Having the ability to spew out more explicit knowledge can prove to be a double-edged sword particularly if we persist in trying to digest it all. Today we are struggling to contain BMI (Body Mass Index)......Will tomorrow be about trying to reduce KMI (Knowledge Management Index) in order to tackle the next great threat of what some are calling infoluenza?

It is my understanding that KM best practices has taught us that the human element is key to success, and that technology is a tool. The list of KM tools contains communication modes and models, not just software.
