• Are There Laws of Knowledge Management? by Stephen Denning, Michel Pommier and Lesley Shneier. [1. Knowledge sharing is essential to economic survival; 2. Communities of practice are the heart and soul of knowledge sharing; 3. Virtual community members also need physical interactions; 4. Passion is the driving force behind communities of practice; 5. Communities enrich organizations and personal lives; 6. Knowledge sharing has inside-out and outside-in dynamic.
  These six “laws” of knowledge management have three corollaries which are found across a very large number of organizations: Knowledge sharing is at some point confused with IT; Middle-management resists; Vibrant communities of practice attract new talents]
  


• Five Laws of KM, by RajLibrarian
  Inspired by Dr.S.R.Ranganathan!
  

  
  Knowledge is for use;
  Every bit of knowledge its user;
  Every user his/her bit of knowledge;
  Users time is precious;
  Knowledge and knowledge centres are growing organisms.
