with expanding and controlling the physical and mechanical properties of economic production. Management practices involving people, process and technology to fundamentally advance the
intellectual capacity of people and effectiveness of knowledge-intensive organizations became prevalent only in the second half of the century.

The 20th Century framework of business thinking was derived from reductionism, mechanics, hierarchy and linear physical models, for example. These models produced the most spectacular economic growth in the history of civilization. However, in rapidly expanding knowledge-based economies, these rigid, deductive models are not meeting the needs of business leaders or stakeholders. Rather, it has been discovered that entirely new, holistic, social and biological structures offer far better models of how the knowledge-based world actually works.
These improved, inductive models elaborate how economic growth is sustained and improved in knowledge-intensive societies. Unfortunately, as is always the case, un-learning the past is
extraordinarily difficult. This is particularly true for established organizations striving to transform into knowledge-based organizations. Open-loop knowledge archetypes, technology preponderance, tangible focus, and pedantic training systems, for example, are just some of the 21st Century knowledge-based enterprise artifacts that trace their pathologic origins from 20th
Century models. See the Website further examples. Through deliberate and focused effort, organizations have begun to adopt a 21st Century focus in leading their knowledge-intensive
environments. The KM Cluster® NYC will closely examine this spectacular economic and behavioral transformation. By popular demand of the local Metropolitan Area KM Cluster community, an outstanding line-up of business thought leaders, executives, practitioners and experts has been assembled in a day-long format.

The motive is to colonize the theme of 21st Century KM. The objective is to derive the critical behaviors, models, frameworks and Next Practices essential to this knowledge-based transformation and to sharply improve the value creating capacity of all knowledge-intensive environments.
