Dave Snowden Podcast ... The Impact of Web 2.0 on Knowledge Work and Knowledge Management  |  October 29, 2007  

I recently caught up with http://www.cognitive-edge.com/blogs/dave/, the well-known complexity theorist / expert and acknowledged guru on the construction and use of knowledge ... quite a feat given Dave's last-minute bout with gastroenteritis, his round-the-word schedule and his doggedly determined pursuit of good rugby matches.

This interview is the first I have ever turned into a podcast, and I must say I am pleased with it. I think I asked useful questions that allowed Dave to articulate a clear and coherent picture of how he thinks the dynamic hyperlinked digital infrastructure most commonly known as Web 2.0 will usher in important new ways of working with information and knowledge. From my point of view as non-objective interviewer, I feel that I stayed out of the way reasonably well as he explained, explored and expounded.

He forecasts some major changes to knowledge work and the information systems support of that knowledge work ... and no doubt some of those forecasts may be controversial. From what I know, Dave is no stranger to controversy. Indeed, from my experiences in reading and listening to what he has to say, I think he may well nourish himself with intelligent and well-argued controversy.

Thanks to Brian "Repurpussing the Voice" Moffatt for the professional intro and the clean-up of my Skype recording.
