	Knowledge Networks
		Knowledge networks are mapped that uncover interactions within and across the boundaries of the organization.
		Teams that are central in the organization's knowledge networks complete their tasks quicker than project teams who struggle to access the knowledge they need to perform their work.
		Network models of how organizations get things done are as necessary in the new economy as organizational charts were in the industrial era.

	Knowledge Creation and Re-Use through Knowledge Networking
		Even if competitors hire away a few employees in the network they still cannot easily duplicate the knowledge community [the unique pattern of interconnections] that is in place in the other organization.
		In the past, HR departments focused on the nodes [employees] in the network which were often modeled as boxes on a hierarchical chart.
		Network models of how organizations get things done are as necessary in the new economy as organizational charts where in the industrial era.

	Networks & Partnerships
		By combining their efforts, members of networks and partnerships are able to have a greater impact on policy and practice than they would have on their own.
		Our investigations into networks and partnerships are based on action research with the networks and partnerships that we host; case study research; and workshops and electronic conferences with other practitioners.
		Although many research institutes have experience with networks, partnerships, communities of practice and other forms of institutional and individual collaboration, an alliance approach is relatively new to these not-for-profit organizations.

	Knowledge Networks
		The most valuable and most up to date knowledge in an organisation is the collective knowledge that is contained in the heads of the individuals (tacit knowledge).
		Knowledge Networks is the term given to different types of team or social networks and communities that are recognised, from a KM perspective, to add significant value to the creation, dissemination and application of better knowledge at a much faster rate.
		In those organisations that, by the nature of their work, are highly knowledge driven and intensive, the term Knowledge Team has been developed to recognise and focus, more specifically, on the knowledge they are seeking to create, improve and more effectively apply.

		Knowledge services are provided principally through two mechanisms.
		The networks are dynamic and evolve in response to community interests, resulting in the creation of both new networks and sub-networks with more targeted themes or a regional focus.
		Its potential was demonstrated in 2002 when network members and policy specialists in the SURFs responded to almost 3,000 queries from country clients, double the number from 2001.

		I've been observing Knowledge Networks in the marketplace for years, and I've always felt that its value proposition was special.
		The effort, time, and cost associated with developing insights that you can "hang your hat on" has also been growing; and while conventional Internet research has offered a low-cost alternative, clients are recognizing that the quality, the service, and the attention to their special business issues has been lost.
		Knowledge Networks really owns that unique niche in which you achieve the best of both worlds – the convenience and speed of the Internet, and the quality and service of premium research.

	Knowledge Transfer Networks
		In the traditional classroom, knowledge transfer is considered a unidirectional activity--trainers transfer knowledge to learners.
		As e-learning evolves and the influence of knowledge management grows, developers must reframe communication to be multidirectional between instructors, learners, managers, change agents, and so forth.
		In the beginning stages of creating a knowledge transfer network, small victories are important foundations on which to build.

	judith meskill's knowledge notes...: musings on autonomic social & knowledge networks...
		In my continuing research at the intersection of emerging social and knowledge networking trends, I have been tracking news in my 'knowledge notes' Weblog on 'autonomic' or 'self-healing' systems.
		Reed's Law says that the value of the network that comes from supporting the formation and sharing of information among persistent groups (group forming networks) grows exponentially in the number of elements.
		I've been musing about how these autonomic social and knowledge networks not only benefit the lives of active users, but how they may have the potential of having a negative impact on the lives of less proactive users.

	Knowledge Networks: Introduction
		Lave and Wenger (1991) saw the acquisition of knowledge as a social process where people can participate in communal learning at different levels depending on their level of authority or seniority in the group, i.e.
		In exploring these wider networks, Brown and Duguid (2000) examine the role of documents - from newspapers to mailing lists - and their ability to generate a common language or practice.
		Brown and Duguid (2000) propose that the network of reps could be extended to include technicians in other companies, though they suggest that these links may be weaker, with less ground for common understanding.
