]]> While reviewing some the excellent recent contributions to the literature of knowledge management, it struck me again how prescient some of the older generation KM gurus were (still are?) in reading the emerging trends – even before or at the time of the dot.com crash. While the influential contributions of Peter Drucker stand out, I would like to remind knowledge managers of the excellent and very readable book of David Skyrme, Knowledge networking (Butterworth-Heinemann, 1999). A decade after its publication it is still one of my favourites and a resource that I turn to from time to time. In the book he describes the advent of the collaborative “inter-prise” characterised by network relationships and linkages between an organisation and other players in its value chain to the extent that the boundaries of individual organisations tend to blend into networks. This is what we are seeing in practice today, enabled by Web 2.0 technologies. The book offers a wealth of insights and frameworks that are as valid today as at the time of publication. His website www.skyrme.com is worth a visit.
