Wissensspeicherung & -transfer beim Österreichischen Bundesrechenzentrum
Aufgrund der temporären Struktur von Projekten sind die Speicherung und der Transfer des in der Projektarbeit erzeugten Wissens eine herausfordernde Aufgabe. Spezialisierte Anwendungen für das Projektwissensmanagement sind zwar verfügbar, verursachen aber häufig Kosten und stoßen auf wenig Akzeptanz bei den Projektmitarbeitern. Speziell in IT-Projekten ist die Ausnutzung der Möglichkeiten bereits vorhandener Anwendungssysteme eine mögliche Alternative. Die Autoren beschreiben, dass bei der Bundesrechenzentrum GmbH in Wien. Dort ein Ticketing- und Projektverfolgungssystem für Softwareentwickler, gemeinsam mit einem Confluence-Wiki nutzbringend für das Projektwissensmanagement eingesetzt wird.
Reviewing the E-Collaboration Marketplace
Electronic collaboration systems that support and enable communication, coordination and collaboration between people in shared projects, processes and teams within organisations and for cross-organisational use have significantly changed under the influence of Web 2.0 technologies and social software. The electronic collaboration marketplace is made up of numerous systems that offer a large variety of features. A classification approach is presented that classifies electronic collaboration systems and thus structures the diverse collaboration marketplace. Collaboration systems are evaluated and compared using a set of evaluation criteria that allow for the assessment of all major collaboration tasks. Thus completeness of systems as well as the main focus of applicability of individual collaboration systems is determined.
Knowledge work productivity : Where to start
The paper proposes a new practical two step approach towards higher knowledge work productivity. Step one is based on a Knowledge Intensity Matrix adapted from Porter and Millar and allows for an assessment of the relevance of knowledge work for a particular company or strategic business unit. Step two identifies work effectiveness - rather than efficiency - as the decisive factor of knowledge work productivity and takes up Willke's systemic understanding of knowledge management to propose a process oriented analysis of knowledge work effectiveness, which results in suggestions of how to increase knowledge work productivity.

Standards for Productive Knowledge Work : Theoretical Foundation and 121 Application of an Analysis Technique
Work productivity is certainly a major factor for economic success. For organizations with highly knowledge intensive processes and products, it is knowledge work productivity that counts. The paper introduces a multi step potential analysis of knowledge work productivity and its application to several organizations. The analysis combines assessments of (1) knowledge intensity, (2) productivity with respect to typical intellectual activities such as information processing, communication, decision making, and learning, as well as (3) organizational adaptability. In this process, the difference between more or less productivity is captured by the degree to which knowledge is handled in accordance with explicit standards compared to being handled in an arbitrary manner. Results of the analysis are then used to propose both short and medium term action plans for more productive knowledge work.
