The former president of the National Book Critics Circle and current American Editor of Granta, gives us a history of people's need for correspondence. He examines the astonishing growth of e-mail -- how it is changing lives, and not always for the better. - Book Passage John Freeman is Acting Editor of Granta Magazine.

Anecdote Circle and Archetype Extraction Process (with music)

from plambe on November 03, 2009
Duration: 135
This speeded up 2 minute video with a tabla drums soundtrack covers a 2 1/2 hour workshop with ancedote circles, tagging of anecdotes by participants, clustering of tags, and production of theme statement and archetypes. This techniques is a modified Cognitive Edge facilitation technique developed by Dave Snowden for getting insights into the emergent perspectives of a group. It is designed to disrupt dominant perspectives shaping the output, and to allow groups to interpret their own narrative material. We use this technique eg in organisation culture analysis, in customer perception analysis, in programme evaluation.

Narrative Based KM Competencies Framework

Narrative Based KM Competencies Framework

from plambe on September 12, 2008
Duration: 697
This video was made for the Cognitive Edge network as a mini-case study of using narrative techniques. It describes an iKMS (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.
