Insightory.com - Management Knowledge Sharing

Insightory is a knowledge sharing/collaboration community and platform whose main focus is management knowledge. They’re taking the wiki approach, putting knowledge and ideas out there for the public to add to and to edit; additionally anyone can access the site’s collection of papers and essays to gain extra insight themselves, whilst tapping into the wisdom of the group mind.

The site houses ideas on best practices, trends, how-tos etc, which companies can access to keep updated. There are also numerous texts on organization, IT, new media, branding, mergers and alliances, and operation efficiency. Rather than pay consultants, companies and even students can confer with the materials and the community around Insightory. The site is currently hosting a contest for the best original documents providing insights on data, trends or best practices on any management topic. The contest ends on the last day of the year; the winner will receive $3,000.

Insightory is bringing the practices of the open web and 2.0 into the diffusion of management knowledge. It simply makes sense. Rather than having to hire expensive consultants, business everywhere can benefit from the knowledge of many minds. This site has much potential.

How is this site going to attract more users? Will there be backlash from consultants who work within the field? Are papers vetted before they are posted?

“Insightory is a knowledge sharing, collaboration and networking platform for management professionals, academicians and graduate students.

Our goal is to do for management knowledge what Wikipedia has done for general knowledge i.e. put it out on the "open" web, so that those who have expertise can add to it, and those who need the expertise can tap into it. In doing so, we will create powerful networks, with rich opportunities for "providers" as well as "seekers" of management knowledge.”
