Eight tactics for effective PKM

Frand and Lippincott suggested eight tactics for processing information whether it was digital, analog or based on experience. The tactics are based on the “knowledge spiral” proposed by Nonaka and Takeuch.

Note that items 1 and 7 are similar in that they establish a set of criteria for the type of information that goes into the system (see “Brainfiltering”).

Items 2, 3, and 4 have to do with the types of research and information gathering you will do.

Items 5, 6 and 8 have to do with cataloging, categorizing, and storing information.

  1. Clarify your information needs for each situation.
  2. Plan your information acquisition strategy.
  3. Develop a sourcing strategy for your ongoing information needs.
  4. Identify “push” vs “pull” information.
  5. Adopt naming conventions and stick to them.
  6. File single copies of information.
  7. Set criteria for what you want to save or delete.
  8. Work out how and when to process information
