Knowledge Roles

In Fliegen von ferne, Andrea Janssen's weblog, David
Skyrme is cited on
the roles in KM he distinguishes. The different roles build on different
strengths ands personality traits. Andrea posts it as a means for determining
your career 'anchors'. It reminds me however of the Team Roles by Belbin. Thus David's
roles in KM become not only a means of determining your personal position in the
big picture, but also a way of determining what roles you need to get a certain
KM task done. Sort of building your KM project team. In my organisation I am the
only KM officer. Being able to recognize suitable knowledge roles of my
colleagues might be a way to build stronger and more succesfull KM-initiatives.
