Welcome To The Next Generation Knowledge Frontier - the e-Knowledge Markets Market-Space - a New Economic Galaxy In Rapid Formation |

Our Viewpoint |
| The Quest |
|
In the beginning we started out studying the problem of knowledge-flow. How could companies find better ways to harness, manage, visualize, and understand the flow of knowledge, intellectual capital, and intangible assets through the firm ? We studied all available methods in the knowledge marketplace. Nothing really excited us as providing the definitive answer. Finally, after a journey of many years we sighted on the horizon the appearance of the e-knowledge market place. It began to dawn on us that our knowledge Quest had ended. We had experienced our search for the Holy Grail and found the golden fleece. The e-knowledge marketplace was the magical device by which companies could manage, adjust, adapt, value, and visualize their knowledge assets.

| The Emergency Of e-Knowledge Markets |
|
Emeril at the St. Lawrence Market Markets are fun. Markets are noisy, chaotic, complex, spicy, fruity, fresh, smelly, but ever so interesting. Markets have been around from the first village. Markets are an organic part of human society. As the knowledge-based economy expands as does the Internet, it's quite natural to see the evolution of e-knowledge markets - the fusion of Knowledge, "e", community, commerce and exchange. Markets are way more sustainable than mere portals and intranets. And when is the last time anyone made money going to the Intranet ! Many people have bought into the portal and the intranet, as hubs for knowledge exchange. Get over it. They won't last. They are no fun ! We believe instead that the e-Knowledge
Market Concept is an Idea whose time has come. This is medium
through which over a trillion dollars in knowledge commerce will flow
between now and 2010. Our indicators tell us that there is rapidly growing interest in this topic. Moreover, there is growing practical innovation on a number of fronts, that is seriously worth learning more about. There are numerous new knowledge-based business models being field tested. Prominent among these are sites for Buying and Selling Intellectual Property. It is our opinion is that between
2005 and 2010 there will be $1 trillion traded through e-Knowledge
Markets and Exchanges, in lock step with the global economy
becoming more knowledge-based. We think that e-Knowledge Markets will also follow an adoption pattern on the inside of Corporations, similar to way other web-based technologies such Browsers, Intranets, Search Engines, & Portals made a crossover from the on-line world. Except we think this this development represents a disruptive innovation and will be more revolutionary and far reaching in its implications. We include under the umbrella of "e-knowledge markets", digital knowledge exchanges, knowledge networks, e-learning exchanges, knowledge trading, experts exchanges, e-lance intellectual capital exchanges, intellectual property marts, knowledge stores, knowledge auctions, idea exchanges, e-work exchanges, talent markets, and related concepts. Just as bricks and mortar markets have fish markets, and fruit markets, and cheese markets, and markets of many flavours, we see the e-knowledge marketplace as teeming with an increasingly rich array of types. We have been researching
mechanisms for enhancing the flow of knowledge in organizations
for quite some time. We see a knowledge market strategy as one
potentially effective approach for nurturing adaptable and responsive
business ecosystems, and harmonizing the flow
of knowledge and intellectual capital through the enterprise. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, observations, comments, feedback about this topic. Contact us via info@kikm.org.

| What Other Thought Leaders Have Been Saying |
Larry Prusak, IBM Consulting Group "A knowledge management strategy should not stop with knowledge management. It should not start there either. It should begin with a strategy for selling knowledge. Knowledge can be sold explicitly - what am I bid for this insight...? " Thomas A Stewart, Fortune Nov 9, 1998 " Let us treat people as investors in the company where they work - investors in as real a sense as public shareholders are. For they are truly capitalists : possessors of certain assets - brains, skills, energy - who choose where to invest them, at what level of risk, for what potential return" Thomas A. Stewart, Fortune May 11, 1998
