Event Theme
The importance of interfirm knowledge sharing is
rapidly accelerating. Building fluid, productive transorganizational networks
to swarm and colonize new business opportunities is the new business reality.
The ability for ad hoc teams and their members to rapidly assemble and exploit
their boundary-spanning knowledge and skills creates and sustains considerable
competitive advantage for the firm.
There are substantial benefits for companies to
establish the capabilities infrastructure to drive and optimize these
interfirm business ecosystems. However, they must also be cognizant of the
risks of availing the closely held intellectual capital assets, including the
firm's top resources, to the extended enterprise. A careful balance must be
achieved to assure these assets are optimized.
In the past, most organizations have erred on the side
of control of these critical interfirm activities. Rigid firewalls, onerous or
non-existent on-line collaboration policies and overbearing security
procedures ('need to know' policies) are typical extremes.
There is a new mandate for openness and collaboration
in large institutions and the modern enterprise.
Join the KM Cluster Southern
California
to examine this new requirement for cross-boundary sharing and
collaboration.
