Sapolsky's Three Laws for Doing Science

Sapolsky's First Law
Think logically, but orthogonally.

Sapolsky's Second Law
It's okay to think about nonsense, as long as you don't believe in it.

Sapolsky's Third Law
Often, the biggest impediment to scientific progress is not what we
don't know, but what we know.

-ROBERT SAPOLSKY is a professor of biological sciences at Stanford
University and of neurology at Stanford's School of Medicine. He is
also a research associate at the National Museums of Kenya.

BUILDING THE BUSINESS CASE FOR A KNOWLEDGE INITIATIVE IBM Global
Services offers a framework to build a KM business case: "In this
paper, we provide a framework for measuring and justifying
knowledge-related projects. Real world examples from the literature
and our interviews, as well as a case study from Intel Corporation,
are used to illustrate the framework. Further, we highlight effective
practices for each step in our approach to building a KM business
case."

INTERACTIVE DECISION OBJECTS
"Here's something that I did with two friends almost two years
ago. Interactive Decision Objects are interactive decision making
frameworks. They are designed to be used in a collaborative setting
with the sole aim of getting things done: be it making strategy
decisions, exploring information management choices, analyzing
cultural differences, etc. You can download the demo kit and play
with the five IDOs we've created. Have fun!"

IT'S A BLOG WORLD AFTER ALL
This article from Fast Company provides a nice run down on corporate
blogging. Although most see blogs as better PR vehicles, some
companies are experimenting with blogs for informal, ground-up
knowledge sharing: "Knowledge software often requires employees to
take both an extra step and extra time to record what they know, and
to fit their knowledge into a database of inflexible categories.
Internal blogs are more integrated into a worker's regular daily
communications."

LEARNING GOES MOBILE
Mobile learning has big implications for e-learning, but I'm more
interested in e-paper, which is making good progress. Something that
has the affordances of a book and of digital devices ought to be
given serious thought.
