I love the points you make -- or perhaps I should say, the way you express what you've gleaned from the book -- about innovation coming now from the consumer space (which is what all we knowledge workers experience firsthand on our handheld consumer devices doing duty as business tools), and how knowledge management at the enterprise level has gotten it wrong in the past. Is it not a bit ironic that this treatise is not available online? Awesome write up.

A few years ago I developed this as a niche specialty in my private investigations, and started educating other investigators and attorneys on techniques for finding background on the open Internet and social networks. I also incorporate this into my due diligence reports. The online content supplements public records research, interviews and proprietary source materials. Increasingly, the legal profession is noting the value of adding social media to their factual research. It's not a benefit only to law firm marketing!

For me, the final chapter on horizons scanning and future of firms was a particularly interesting area to pen some thoughts. There are so many exciting changes stemming from the use of social tools and social networking in firms. As firms work to strengthen existing client relationships and build new ones, social approaches to business design will become a top priority along with the intelligent integration of social computing in the work place. I am very much looking forward to reporting more in this space on the impact of networks and social technologies on the shape of firms, service innovation and new work processes!
