Welcome to the Knowledge Communication Gallery. In this section we showcase a few of the knowledge visualizations that we have developed to facilitate knowledge communication among experts and decision makers.

Visualization of the month
Enhancing Group Information Sharing Through Interactive Visualization (AoM 2010)

 

This month we showcase the interactive presentation we have shown at the Academy of Management meeting (Montreal, August 2010). We exhibit the results of our experimental study on knowledge sharing. Results show that managers perform better when using an interactive visual template, compared to a traditional textual support.
Unlike powerpoint, this interactive mapping software (prezi) lets you freely pan and zoon in the presentation, to better support the understanding of the overview and the links between the differnt parts of the presentation. Click on the arrows if you want to follow the path of the presentation.

 

Video of the month

Our video of the month is a short video clip summarizing and illustrating a recent IEEE article of our research group. In the video, we talk about our experimental research with real-life managers and their use of software-based visualization to improve knowledge sharing in teams. The series of experiments conducted with more than 120 managers shows the clear benefits (in terms of productivity and knowledge gains) of using interactive visualization for knowledge sharing in management teams.
