Clancy of the Knowledge Flow

* To skip Intro, go to 1:40 *

Australia actually has a long history in Knowledge Management. Over a hundred years ago, we had two key practitioners in the field - Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson. They did some ground-breaking work in conveying knowledge of life in rural Australia to the emerging urban environment.

They collected knowledge using Anecdote Circles (around the campfire) and delivered it as Springboard stories, often published in a major Knowledge Management publication of the day, The Bulletin magazine.

Tonight, we will look at one of Banjos key archetypical characters, Clancy of the Overflow. Clancy works in an ideal environment as a drover. The Narrator is contemplating his lot in his dingy office.

We are updating the story: how would these knowledge workers fare in todays collaborative environment?
