A couple of weeks ago, Ray Sims posted a presentation on knowledge management that used understandable metaphors to stimulate my thinking.  It's interesting to think of knowledge as water and contemplate the way it flows; however, I  really like the knowledge as love metaphor.  It made me think of the .38 Special song from the 80s, Hold On Loosely.  It's only when sharing knowledge that we ultimately benefit from it.

He also boiled down the four greatest opportunities of this shift we're seeing:

• Increased social capital
• Increased innovation
• Improved decision making
• Improved efficiency

I've seen all of these items on corporate wish lists; it looks like we might be headed in the right direction.
