Toward a Knowledge Ecology for Organizational White-Waters:
Preventing the 'High-Tech Hidebound' Syndrome,
by Yogesh Malhotra, the Founder of the @BRINT Research Initiative

Many extant conceptions of organizational knowledge management systems are constrained by their overly rational, static and acontextual views of knowledge. It is anticipated that the notion of knowledge ecology can facilitate development of synergy between the data and information processing capacity of information technologies and the innovative and creative capacity of human beings. This presentation will attempt to develop an understanding of such issues to advance the current thinking from knowledge management based on predictive models to those better geared to organizational white-waters that demand 'anticipation of surprise.'
