Virtual conspectus (Learning - 1.1.)

Our notes, based on the Web-enabled approach, can help to ‘virtualize’ and convert knowledge, to understand the World Future Society's activities and develop new capabilities.

WFS Futures Research Quarterly
"Futures research encompasses both an evolving philosophy and a range of techniques (Mental and material - A.P). Its primary objective is to assist decision-makers to understand better the potential consequences of present and future decisions by developing images of alternative futures."

Learning a new WFS conference (Learning - 1)

From Latvia, we would like to take part in a Meeting of Year.
How to do it, to participate at WorldFuture 2005: Foresight, Innovation, and Strategy (July 29--31, 2005, Chicago, Illinois) ?

First, learning in virtual process.

I think, it’s possible to be at shared Ba.
To get insight into current issues and priorities, understand ideas, thinking, knowledge sharing and implementation; to be closer to mental universe of the world futurists.

Let’s be all together, and online in the community.

Blog and Personal Knowledge Management

1. A blog like a book (knowledge + knower) is a unique set of issues and expression of personal knowledge management (PKM).

It was vividly portrayed, Johnnie Moore's (30.12.2004) „I would say for myself that there's blogs and then there's what happens in the spaces between the blogs. The stuff that happens in the spaces - not the comments or the pings, but the thinking and sense of connection of ideas - doesn't show on the blog, but it's there.”

An individual creates and converts information and knowledge for his own as human being.

2. Blogs are great to think out loud and thus to trigger new conversations and relationships (Ton Zijlstra). We ask ourselves: what is in-between spaces, how to learn to understand man and ourselves in systems and on what kind of values a subject is founded ? Blogs could also be great to manage to think not loud, not loud enough to be heard by many.

3. The Entrepreneurial Foresight Network evolves around mental places enabling thinking and activities aiming the shared Meta context - Entrepreneurial Foresight Basics (EFB). See    also.

What about the role of ideas, questions, concepts, beliefs, also behavior and attitude what could be converted into new knowledge using a content of blogs, klogs, quotations (with reference to context and framework) from known authors ? Entrepreneurial Foresight Network assimilates messages of knowledge and presents them when we find new trends in KM issues to build strategic capabilities - EFB. Therefore, we can think quietly, also conversate quietly – to understand weblogs more and more as a comprehensive form of communication.

4. Useful quotes for KM workers, on KnowledgeBoard.

In 2005, perhaps KnowledgeBoard can be thought of as a ‘superblog’ at European and global level?

Learning Foresight

Australian Foresight Institute In my opinion, there are particularly useful sites for learning foresight, building strategic thinking capacity

Joseph Voros

A generic foresight
process framework

"Without a continuous renewal of theory,
methodology and praxis, the knowledge creation required to
build the discipline of futures and foresight will slow, stop and
stagnate."

LISBON AGENDA

CORDIS RTD-NEWS
Despite poor progress, Lisbon agenda needed more now than ever, concludes Kok report

Yet the high level group clearly feels that despite the backdrop of a challenging global economic environment, Member States could and should have done more to achieve its goals. Governments are accused of not taking the delivery of commonly agreed measures seriously enough, perhaps because of a lack of political pressure from national parliaments and citizens who have not been sufficiently involved in the Lisbon process. Poor coordination, an overloaded agenda and conflicting priorities are also to blame, the report adds. The inevitable result is that many Lisbon targets will be 'seriously missed'.

Prof. Dr. Beat F. Schmid
Presentation

The NetAcademy is an internet platform, designed to

publish research in the field of the new media,
network international research about new media,
explore ICT potential.

"Under Construction: MyNetAcademy
MyNetAcademy is a new kind of publishing
MyNetAcademy helps to publish research results chronologically

MyNetAcademy give the possibility to publish and discuss „work in progress“, whithout loosing the copyright of the idea.

MyNetAcademy give the possibility to publish and work on research topics in groups

MyNetAcademy makes reseach results more transparent

MyNetAcademy is a glass desk of a scientist

MyNetAcademy is device independant


MyNetAcademy in the spirit of a weblog/blog
A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically—like a what's new page or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly—from links and commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, research results, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction. Blog posts are like instant messages to the web.

Blogs are also excellent team/department/company/ communication tools. They help small groups communicate in a way that is simpler and easier to follow than email or discussion forums. Use a private blog on an intranet to allow team members to post related links, files, quotes, or commentary. A blog can help keep everyone in the loop, promote cohesiveness and group culture, and provide an informal "voice" of a project or department to outsiders."
