Luis Suarez’s Summary

Hi ! I have been working in the area of Knowledge Management for the last 10 years and throughout all this time I have specialised in deploying successfully different strategies from the world of Knowledge Management Tools, Communities (Both physical and online communities), (Remote) Collaboration, Community building, eLearning, Social Networking, Personal Knowledge Management, social software, etc. etc. covering not only local groups / teams / communities but also large groups across different geographies and timezones.

Over the last few years I have developed a passion within Knowledge Management for everything that relates to social networking or social software tools that help improve the way knowledge workers get to share their knowledge and collaborate with others. So examples like weblogs, wikis, social bookmarking, tagging, podcasting, RSS / Atom feeds, people portals, etc. are some of the technologies I am really interested and have had a large exposure over the last 3 years.

I currently maintain three different weblogs, one behind IBM's firewall and two external: one over at http://www.elsua.net and the other one over at ITToolbox: http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/km/elsua. All of them dealing with everything related to KM, Communities, Collaboration, Social Networking and Social Software.

Luis Suarez’s Specialties:

I am specialised in the area of Knowledge Management, covering traditional KM, (Remote) Collaboration, Communities of Practice, Community Building, online communities, online facilitation, KM Tools, Social Networking, Social Software, Web 2.0, eLearning, Personal Knowledge Management, etc.
