Meine Notizen zum zweiten Tag der Knowtech 2008.

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?

Today was the third day of the Global Knowledge Based Development Week in Monterrey/Mexico. Here are some of my notes of the sessions I attended:

Rosa María Sanchez: Creative Urban Environments

• Title: Unleashing Women's Entrepreneurial Creativity
• Rosa Mariá is a artist and musician.
• EXATEC Business and Executive Women's Association's Mission Statement: to promote and facilitate the whole development of a group of women, so that, due to the firmness of character they develop, the clarity of purpose they reach, and the efficacy to the technologies they practice, they successfully accomplish the projects they undertake, whether personal, family, labor, communitary or cultural, and become example and guidance to other women who are also seeking for such whole development.
• 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).
• Remark: this is very close to the UN Millenium Development Goal 3.

Tan Yigitcalar: Creative Urban Environments

• Form of production is moving to a more abstract form of production performed by creative knowledge workers.

Raphaële Bidault-Waddington: Creative Urban Environments
