Knowledge Based Development Community (KBD Community)
Verfasst von simon.dueckert am 21. Oktober 2007 - 1:17.I hosted a session called "Future Collaboration of the KBD Community" as part of the open space event entitled "Designing the Global KBD Agenda" at the the Global Knowledge Based Development Week. We discussed how collaboration of the KBD Community in the physical space could be supported in the virtual space. We came up with three action items:
- We set up the KBD Mailing List on google groups that is open to everyone interested in KBD. You can join the mailing list by sending an email to "kbd-community-subscribe(at)googlegroups.com" (note: replace "(at)" by "@" when sending the email). Please do that until 2007/11/02 (november 2nd). After joining please send a short email to the mailing list ("kbd(at)googlegroups.com") explaining what your background and your interests in KBD are.
- We will set up a KBD Wiki and send an invitation to the mailing list at 2007/11/02.
20.10.2007 - Global KBD Week - part 6
Verfasst von simon.dueckert am 21. Oktober 2007 - 1:16. Today was the sixth day of the Global Knowledge Based Development Week in Monterrey/Mexico. In the morning there was a open space event entitled "Designing the Global KBD Agenda" where we tried to figure out what the most important questions in KBD would be in the next five years (2008-2013).
Knowledge Based Development (KBD) - Global KBD Future Research Agenda
- How to bring love to organizations and cities because without love people do not share knowledge. (this issue that Edna Pasher pointed out was the most important for me, if we can do that, all problems will disappear)
- Intellectual Capital as an invonveniently complex issue.
- Where is the knowledge?
- Collective wisdom and collective intelligence.
- Future teams to look into the future.
- The brain - the last unexplored continent.
- Intelligent regions: intelligent life in a creative way, connecting bridge between local society and global opportunities.
- Places for social interaction.
- Hi-Story.
- Knowledge mapping.
- Renewal and Innovation.
- Health and Joy.
Personally I wondered if the most important issues in Knowledge Based Development (KBD) and Knowledge Management (KM) at the moment are more about research or more about implementation?

Verfasst von simon.dueckert am 20. Oktober 2007 - 4:58.Today was the fourth day of the Global Knowledge Based Development Week in Monterrey/Mexico. Here are some of my notes of the sessions I attended:
Javier Carrillo: Refounding cities on the grounds of knowledge societies
- Title: Redesigning urban experience.
- "I'm convinced, we as humans haven't get quite into the point of how to live together".
- "Humans were used to live in coexisting with nature, moving to cities (urbanization) changes that".
- "Knowledge society is not about technology or innovation but about moving to a different level of human experience".
- "In the history we were looking for exceptional individuals, now we are looking for exceptional societies".
Lynne Schneider: Refounding cities on the grounds of knowledge societies
- Title: Rebuilding from the Heart - Baghdad Revitalization.
- Compassion, respect for local capabilities and providing hope is very important.
Raphaële Bidault-Waddington: Knowledge Cities
- Title: The Case of Christiania
- Christiania was a military area in Copenhagen, it became an artist place, a "city inside a city", a "private city", a "social experiment".
- In the 1990s-2000 it became a very attractive touris place (2nd most visited place).

- Organizational structure: Steering team (president, vice-president, treasury, secretary) and Personal development project committee (operations coordinator, "spirit of the association" coordinator, technology coordinator, research and methodology coordinator).

Global KBD Week - part 1
Verfasst von simon.dueckert am 13. Oktober 2007 - 11:52.Nächste Woche findet in Monterrey/Mexiko die Global Knowledge Based Development Week und darin eingebettet der erste Knowledge Cities Summit statt. Die KBD Week ist eingerahmt vom UNESCO Forum der Kulturen, was die gesamte Veranstaltung sicherlich sehr bereichern wird.
Wenn es der Internetzugang zulässt, werde ich hier im Lauf der Woche über die Veranstaltung bloggen. An diesen Weblog ist die Auswahl der Veranstaltungen angehängt, die ich gerne besuchen möchte, Ich bin schon sehr gespannt.
