KM Tools: Creating a River Diagram...

I'm often asked to explain what a "River Diagram" is, and how they can be used to shape knowledge management strategy, and as a way to help communities share and learn.  Geoff Parcell and I wrote a couple of chapters in "No More Consultants", but some how it's one of those topics always has me grabbing a sheet of paper, a whiteboard or a napkin to work through the steps in a more visual way.I'm sure that the guys at Commoncraft will do a great job on it one day...

So for now, in the spirit of vlogging, and with thanks to Geoff for the use of his green screen, here's a quick YouTube tutorial on "How to Create a River Diagram".

Knowledge Management consultant, Chris Collison, describes the "River Diagram", an engaging and highly visual technique which can be used to drive improvement and encourage knowledge sharing within organisations. The technique is drawn from the book "No More Consultants. We know more than we think.", co-authored with Geoff Parcell.
