A hot topic in the Web 2.0 world is the importance of harnassing collective intelligence. Knowledge management itself is not a new idea but the willingness to share the knowledge and allow for collaboration is a step forward in recognizing that innovation develops from the minds of many.
This graphic is from Dion Hinchcliffe’s blog Five Great Ways to Harness Collective Intelligence. Expanding upon Ellyssa Kroski’s article, The Hype and Hullabaloo of Web 2.0, Dion outlines his top five ideas for leveraging collective intelligence:
Be The Hub of A Hard To Recreate Data Source
Seek Collective Intelligence Out
Trigger Large-Scale Network Effects
Provide A Folksonomy
Create a Reverse Intelligence Filter
Currently my department at UMW, DTLT is working on creating a community intranet for knowledge sharing. Dion and Ellyssa’s research can offer some valuable guidelines, resources and ideas to help us manage our collective intelligence.

After experimenting with various strategies, Nev has posted his structure recommendations of using numbered priority categories. Good in theory, but I don’t think it would work for me as I need a more definitive labeling system for blending my work and leisure blog reading. Still, good tips and the point to the process is making it work for you.
