KNETMAP™ Question of the Week™
is a Web-based application that generates a map or visualization of the exchange of information along various human networks in an organization. Data is collected by a Question of the Week™ that is sent via email to participants. An embedded hyperlink goes to a form where contacts are indicated; external contacts can be added if required. When users submit their data, a knowledge network map is generated in real time. A series of Questions of the Week™ over the course of a year will build an informative and relevant profile of an organization. Question of the
Week™ institutionalizes information about expertise.

The Krebs Toolkit is an online learning course on social network principles and how they can be used to further corporate strategy.
Is it who you know (social capital) or what you know (human capital) that leads to success in achieving your objectives? Social networking can rapidly bridge that gap between what you know you don't know and new knowledge. There are enormous benefits to applying social networking principles in almost any type of organization of any size. Organizations can become more adaptive if they take advantage of their emergent knowledge networks and understand the complex clusters of commerce within their own organization and with their suppliers and customers. Access to these ideas and the methodology to implement them will be available in the first quarter 2002. $200US for a three-month subscription.
