KM Meets Speed Dating - Spindows.com

Charlie Green, the Trusted Advisor, recently interviewed Clay Hebert, the founder of Spindows, a new Knowledge Management (KM) start up company that uses a "speed dating" approach to collect organization knowledge.

According to Hebert, there are three big issues with the traditional approach to knowledge management:
  1. Quality, as KM is usually considered a clerical task and is not given major importance
  2. Speed, as knowledge gathering usually happens at the end of projects, not during the actual execution where lessons learned are fresh in people's minds
  3. Search, as some knowledge management search features are lacking and if available, they are not very effective
Although  Spindows is still not available to the public, it's a good idea to subscribe to their waiting list and test their platform once they go live.
