Dear Hemanth
This is a huge cultural question in most organisations, whether you are in
Indai or elsewhere in the world.
It is also something you cannot attempt on your own. You will need
leadership from your senior executives who demonstrate this behaviour in all
they do.
In my position at the Dept of Familes, Housing, Communities Services and
Indigenous Affairs the library staff moved themselved into a position of
being information and knowledge brokers (see my blog posting at
hartknowledge.wordpress.com for what I mean by a knowledge broker). The
librarians need to move away from what is usually a black box service to
becoming the networkers and brokers in your organisation. By doing this the
librarians model the behaviour they want to see in the rest of the
organisation.
I have taken quite a few organisations through a methodology whereby this
becomes obvious and you don't find yourself dictating what others should be
doing. The changes in behaviour are not easy to achieve but can be done -
albeit slowly by using story/narrative.
Happy to chat further

Dear Professionals,
Please give me some thoughts on "Information & Knowledge sharing in Corporate environment"
How do interorganisations agree upon the sharing of business information and knowledge?
Simple and straightforward answer is by building partnership. But, as you know, partnership requires each one has something significant to share/offer. Let me give you an example, the TATA and IBM partnership in the early 80's (?). Here IBM wants to sell their Hardware to Indian Market, but don't have the business network and required resources to build a business network India (apart from govt rules and regulations). And TATA has company has already established based in India and they have that knowledge. Here both parties have something to offer to the other party and they form an alliance. Once they form an alliance under the assumption that it's the way to go. You share knowledge: TATA share the market knowledge and IBM share

How do they make joint decisions on IT investments?
I'm not clear about this, but outside of partnership, they may not make
any join decisions. But inside perhaps, they would make a joint decision through partnership agreement and sit on partnership table and take those decisions:)-
How can networks champions promote trust and sharing of knowledge?
what kind of network are you referring here? It depends upon the
champion you have chosen for the job and his acceptance as a trusted personality across the network. In essense, you don't choose someone who doesn't have an initially established trust as a champion, before you start. I hope these are special challenges in sharing knowledge in corporate environment.
Yes, they are and depends upon several factors. And most importantly, the environment that we are in.
I've tried to answer them in the most simple way, but If you have any further questions on this, please don't hesitate to contact me at < abdul.tharayil@gmail.com> I claim to know something about KM and Knowledge Sharing :)- Regards, Hemanth Rao KR, Knowlege Centre, ITC R&D Centre Bangalore.
