Trish Milne and I had one of our papers recently published in the Journal of Knowledge Management entitled, ActKM: the story of a community. Here are some of the finding from our research:
- 78% of respondents had never or only infrequently posted to the online discussion
- 21% of respondents indicated that ActKM has sparked initiatives in their organisations
- Over a 1/3 of respondents indicated that they have made off-list contact with list members and 80% of these contacts were with people with whom they had not previously communicated
- The ability to network with new and interesting people was listed as the most valuable aspect of ActKM
20% of the 840 members of ActKM responded to our survey. The paper also reports on interviews we did with frequent contributors and the core team.
