Troubleshooting:
=====

Bored, don't wanna do homework and read the assigned readings, and my imagination's loose.

=====

Master: Sakai Yuji

    A clueless highschooler who is attacked by a servant (Lancer) after witnessing his duel with Archer and his master. Comes to terms with his hidden power provided by an artifact implanted in him by chance (Reiji Maigo), and utilizes this power to fight side-by-side with his servant.

Servant: Shana (The Fire-Eyed, Flame-Haired Hunter)
   
    Saber-class servant summoned by Sakai Yuji while being attacked by Lancer. Artifact used for summoning ended up accidentally as melon bread from a convenience store that he dropped during his attempt of escape. Maintains mana by consuming melon bread.

-----

Master: Asuka Langley Soryu

    Manipulator of servant Rider. Stole said servant from his true master. Verbally abuses the true master for being a wuss.

Servant: Kira Yamato

    Rider-class servant. Usually useless without his mount, the legendary Freedom Gundam, but when driving the said machine, becomes nearly unbeatable.

True Master: Shinji Ikari

    True master of Rider. Virtually the very definition of wuss. Summoning a servant such as Rider eventually worsened his self-esteem.

-----

Master: Hiiragi Kagami

    The most able sorceress Master in the Grail War, noted for utilizing a unique reality marble (TsunTsunDereDere) to render opponents helpless with either a cute bashful show or a barrage of uncoordinated, rough attacks that kill the opponent's being. Imperfectly summons her servant, turning her servant into a past form less strong than he was during his lifetime.

    Allies herself with Sakai Yuji and Shana due to certain... infatuations which often result in untimely activations of the TsunTsunDereDere Reality Marble.

Servant: Son Goku (Freeza Arc) [ Archer Class ]

    A fictional hero, this servant utilizes high energy concentration to fire devastating projectiles, and can even destroy the planet with his power. However, his offensive capabilities are greatly decreased from his most recent fictional reincarnations due to Kagami being interrupted by her friend Konata during summoning, resulting to a slip-up that placed Konata's Dragonball Z manga on the summoning circle. Aloof and friendly, he usually goes along well with his master (when she doesn't invert to her violent side) and with his enemies as well. Due to the mana limitations, he cannot pull off his destructive power and is thus at par with the other servants.

-----

Master: Asakura Ryoko

    An emotionless master hiding under a pleasant smile. She can execute a reality marble (Twilight Classroom) which provides her with her sorcery's needed materials. She can turn desks and tables into shining spears of light. Armed with a small dagger, and within her reality marble, can control movement of anything.

Servant: Negi Springfield [ Caster Class ]

    Forced to obey his master by using a command mantra, Negi Springfield is the little-known descendant of the Thousand Master. Trained in close-range and magical combat, he protects his master faithfully, though against his will. Utilizes wind, lightning, and light magic together with Hakkyouken. Master of Assassin.

Servant: Setsuna Sakurazaki [ Assassin Class ]

    Summoned by Negi Springfield to aid his master with a Pactio Card as an artifact. Forced to obey the master of her master (which by hierarchy makes Asakura her master as well), she utilizes her combat arts using her nodachi Yuunagi to execute several of the blade techniques of the Shinmeiryuu. She can also use Shinmeiryuu unarmed combat techniques. Can fly when ordered to by unfolding the wings on her back.

More when I'm bored again.

Knowledge = Understanding through experience and study

Defining Knowledge Management
=====

- The concept of the "learning organization"
    -  learning culture, continuous streamlining to survive

Roots of KM
=====
-   Information Management
    -   Your course
    - Information as the basis of knowledge
-   Intellectual Assets
    -   The employees of an organization and what they know (employees knew what's what in the company)
-   Innovation
    -   Along with creativity help create new knowledge
-   Knowledge Based Systems
    -   Computer systems used to model human problem solvign skills through AI (emulation of human problem-solving techniques)
=====
Break:
    I haet school nowadays. Boring stuff really. Updating in the KM class. Read Marcel, left me confused.
/Break
=====
Problem
-   Just as there are as many definitions of knowledge, there are as many definitions of KM as there are practicioners
====
Definitions
-   KM relates to both theory and practice
-   Definitions are not predicated on information technology
-   KM is multi-disciplinary (other fields required)
-   People and learning issues are central to KM
-   Technology is a useful enabler rather than a central tenet at the heart of KM
-   KM is the process through which organizations generate value from their intellectual and knowledge-based assets. Most often, generating value from such assets involves codifying what employees, partners, and customers know, and sharing that information among employees, departments and even with other companies in an effort to devise best practices. - www.cio.com
=====
Knowledge-Based Assets

-   Explicit ( Tangible, Documented, Archived, Codified )
-   Tacit ( Inherent )

=====
Principles

-   KM is expensive
-   Hybrid solutions of people and tech ( People + tech ) // OMG CYBORG o.o
-   Presence of knowledge managers
-   More to do with maps versus models and markets versus hierarchies
-   Sharing is unnatural ( Hmm? Why do you share knowledge?)
-   Highly Political (Decision making)
-   Knowledge access is only the beginning (application pa! Noob)
-   Improvement of knowledge work processes
-   KM never ends
-   Presence of a knowledge contract

=====
Benefits
-   Foster innovation by encouraging the free flow of ideas
-   Improve customer service by streamlining response time
-   Boost revenues by getting products and services to market faster
-   Enhance employee retention rates by recognizing the value of employee's knowledge and rewarding them for it
-   Streamline operations and reduce costs by eliminating redundant or unnecessary processes
=====
Break:
Zzz. I want an automated thesis maker... Zzz...
Cheez pleez.
I Want A million dollarz...
Yawn.
/Break
=====
Challenges
-   Selecting knowledge from a sea of information
-   Being driven by technology
-   Being static
-   Customization
=====
What KM is not
-   KM =/= information management, document management, data warehousing, data mining, imaging, yellow pages, content management, bulletin boards, ERM, CRM, BPM or any other form or application etc etc etc
-   KM is a management discipline aimed at enhancing organizational knowledge processing and as such it is a social (management) science. It's purpose is to enhance an organization's capacity to detect problems, solve, or dispose of them, share or present the etc etc etc...

=====
Homework for thursday (By Group)
-    Find a company that uses KM OMGWTF

Hmmm... New Journal. Yay.

Still don't know what to do with it though...
