10 Feb 2015 - "How will we know ? Investigating the future of knowledge production, consumption and sharing" The last issue of the ICSTI Insights series focuses on knowledge management practices and initiatives that are challenged by, and evolving through, the increasing complexity and interconnectedness of the knowledge domain—as well as on the need for new KM paradigms and tools that combine and extend the techno- socio-cultural foci of traditional KM activities.
The document has been prepared as a backgrounder to set the stage and inspire discussion by addressing the following question : What are the major trends that have the potential to affect the future of knowledge production, consumption and sharing ?
Produced by the National Research Council Canada, this Insight article is available for ICSTI Members in the Members’ Area section.
