- 5th report 'Lisbon Strategy: Between revolution and illusion' (synthesis report)

available at:
http://ec.europa.eu/invest-in-research/monitoring/leg_strategy_en.htm

'The "Expert Group for the follow-up of the research aspects of the revised Lisbon strategy (LEG)" was created by the European Commission (DG RTD) in 2006 to give support in analysing and monitoring the research aspects of the revised Lisbon strategy.

The group focuses its work on the following activities:

• critical review of the research and innovation sections of Member States' National Reform Programmes and Progress Reports
• analysis of ongoing and emerging trends in R&D at MS and EU level
• identification of new challenges for the development of R&D policies with a particular focus on ERA
• analysis of the policy instruments used to coordinate R&D policies between Member States and between Member States and the Community
• provision of advice towards the development of an enhanced knowledge policy'
  

What is WAY-IN of BLOG POSTS for us?

We are interested to share/market/trade our ideas and knowledge. Social media websites and tools are agreeable instruments to support our personal, business, community’s and other objectives (see: A framework for Social Media Marketing). Blogs & blogging way is between most accepted and easiest means to make it big. However, let’s imagine how often you/me/we seriously consider options of selecting successful, short ways of blogging to drive toward the intended goals?

Considering from both the writer and reader viewpoint, we can perceive a blog post as an issue created for and made available to other people. The blog post has the quality (or the interest) that makes us to notice both this post and author’s blog and want to read and think on its content.

Below is a short list (6 categories) of the qualities of blog posts that might be identified by an individual / team who read, interact, for instance, with Social Media Today (SMT) and other SM.

I would like to call the quality as a ‘way of the interest’ or way-in of a blog post.

An interested party can choose by its own preference and understanding how much and what qualities are to be selected to form a way-in list.

I have found ways-in of blog posts that also occupy my interest:

A description of an unfavourable situation

An expression of doubts about something

A marketing oriented explanation

A success story

A call to act for change

A positive idea worth pursuing further

For the given case, our task may be to identify the main (2-3) ways-in of a blog post during and after writing/reading it. My thoughts and reflections that found and marked main ways-in of SMT seven blog posts (articles) are illustrated in this table (pdf file)

Using this list, the identification of ways-in and marking those (with * in written) could be a value, like commenting and rating a blog post by knowledge production.

To work with way-in lists related to corporate/individual blogging on SMT and other sites may be inspiring and exciting, adding value exercises. One can also use the blog post comments and feedbacks together with reflections on ways-in for new approaches and evaluations. But don’t talk about all this now. Through way-in we may obtain a quite simple and, you may check, constructive (inter-mental & intra-mental) approach. Enjoy easy reading and rethinking on shared ways-in! That might be adaptable to many needs.

A framework for Social Media Marketing

This framework is in progress approaching, developing and achieving the LNELS project objectives. It might be adapted for various tasks, different contexts, and business benefits.

Inovācijas un tehnoloģiju marketings

ESF projekta konference Vidzemes jūrmalā, Salacgrīvā 2008.g. 24,-25. jūlijā. programma

Vadīt zināšanas un vadīt vispār nozīmē ļoti smalki un prasmīgi strādāt ar cilvēka, sabiedrības un ekonomiskajām sistēmām, kuras ir tikai daļēji izprastas. Taču mums vajag tās vadīt un ietekmēt, lai veidotu to uzvedību un augstu darba izpildījumu - virzītu tās tuvāk noteikto mērķu sasniegšanai un nākotnes iecerēm.

Plašas vadīšanas spējas, kas būtu piemērotas mūsdienu izaicinājumiem, ir vajadzīgas visos līmeņos. Jaunas profesionālas spējas – spējas zināšanu vadīšanā kļūst par sastāvdaļu vadīšanas procesos uzņēmējdarbībā, valsts institūcijās, mācību iestādēs un citur.

Zināšanas un citi intelektuālā kapitāla resursi, nevis informācija, padara iespējamu augstu izpildījumu. Cilvēki un viņu darbības nosaka organizāciju un sabiedrības panākumus vai neveiksmes. Šajā kontekstā mūsu spējas darboties efektīvi (darīt pareizas lietas un darīt pareizas lietas pareizi) ietekmē galvenokārt mūsu personīgās zināšanas, izpratne, attieksme un ticība, citi mums pieejamie mentālie veidojumi organizāciju / uzņēmumu mērķorientēto darbību vietā un laikā.
