Predictions gleaned from A Manifesto for the e-Knowledge Industry (shared by Don):

• Content will be increasingly digitized/tagged, unbundled, and shared
• User sophistication and appetite for knowledge will only grow
• Interactivity will drive learning
• New models of publishing must emerge
• New economics of learning must emerge (all of the traditional constraints have changed wildly)
• First e-learning will merely digitize existing offerings, but process will change profoundly as costs plummet
• Organizational/corporate job learning must become adaptive and continuous
• As knowledge is managed/shared, staff effectiveness will outpace the importance of merely "knowing"
• True, international standards must emerge for digital content to support interoperability and scalability
• Knowledge sharing will occur within open but secure (how?) enterprise infrastructures
• Knowledge sharing will create horizontal markets for collecting/distributing content
• Knowledge management will fuse with organizational learning strategy (absolutely!)
• Power users will be those who master the new knowledge environment
• Mobile/wireless networking create ubiquitous knowledge environments as well as ubiquitous commerce
• Integration will increasingly knit together CRM, ERP, portals, LMS, CMS, and KM
• Expert systems will grow into expert networks
• New understanding of knowledge processing will drive CM changes
• Financial benefits from interoperability will fund continued investment in international deployment
