| An Information Economy where most knowledge is
proprietary and hoarded. |
|
An emerging Knowledge Economy where the power
of shared knowledge becomes evident. Traditional power relationships
relating to knowledge begin to erode. |
|
A mature, fully developed Knowledge Economy that
rewards knowledge sharing and the proliferation of knowledge. Pervasive
access to knowledge changes many power relationships and even societal
assumptions and practices. |

| Convergence is heralded in the wake of developments
in telecommunications, computer networks, and information technology. |
|
Networked webs and the proliferation of mobile
telecommunications advance the practice of networked knowledge. |
|
Computing and networks become pervasive, enabling
the mobilization of knowledge to take account of the location
of users and their needs at each location. |

 |
| Value and supply chains for knowledge are embedded
in proprietary sources of knowledge. |
|
Value chains for content begin to be unbundled
and disintermediated (eliminating the middleperson), harnessing the
malleability of all things digital. |
|
Value chains become value nets as
content is unbundled and available from many sources. The cost and
nature of content change. |

 |
 |
| Content is king. Learning silos and academic
publishing silos exist. The metaphor for traditional earning is program
delivery. Distance learning is isolated from other forms of learning
and knowledge management. |
|
Content and context are equally important. Distance
and
traditional learning are enhanced through e-learning,
using the metaphor of interactivity. Traditional scholarly publishing
models begin to be unbundled. |
|
Content, context, and community are structured
and interpenetrating. Interactivity drives learning. The use of knowledge
management to support learning is a major breakthrough. New publishing
models emerge. |

 |
 |
| Traditional learning is expensive, due to cost
of content and other resources and faculty involvement at all stages. |
|
e-Learning is used to digitize existing models
and begins to reinvent cost, availability of content, and roles of
faculty, mentors, and learners. |
|
Economic models of learning are fully reinvented.
The cost of e-content declines and usage soars. Faculty, mentor, and
learner interactions are reinvented. |

 |
| Tactical learning is a response to specific needs
and skills gaps. Learning practices differ across the enterprise. |
|
Integrated learning is shared across the organization,
introducing consistent practices and infrastructures. |
|
Strategic, enterprise-wide learning uses directed
and autonomic learning to respond rapidly to organizational challenges.
Who can do what is more important than
who knows what. |
