Editor
KnowledgeBoard
(Information Services industry)
June 2004 — June 2006 (2 years 1 month)
From 2004 to 2006 I was Editor on the EC research network: KnowledgeBoard.
KnowledgeBoard was the largest Knowledge Managment community in the world with nine different language zones, twenty international Communities of Practice, 35 voluntary editors, a massive collection of research papers from members and peer-reviewed journals, and over forty virtual and physical events during my time there.
As well as maintaining equilibrium for 13,000 members on the website and in the physical world, I launched a highly experimental and successful series of events and research opportunities called Contactivity. I was also deeply involved in the publication of KnowledgeBoard’s first community book which was free and full of members’ real world KM case studies. I worked with the KB partners on a new thread of CoP research, which we workshopped and presented at different on and offline gatherings. -
