Why knowledge sharing?
Humans are social beings. Our brains are wired to engage with others. Social psychologists and scientists have uncovered the neuroscience of human connections. As Matthew Lieberman states, “We may not like the fact that we are wired such that our well-being depends on our connections with others, but the facts are the facts.”
From the beginning of humankind, knowledge has been shared by person-to-person exchange of insights; not by simply transferring static information etched into a rock, but by verbally providing the full context and texture needed to fully communicate the information necessary to thrive or stay alive.
Finally, brain-scanning technology reveals that we enjoy helping others. The brain is also wired for generosity. This indicates that collaborating and sharing knowledge is not only natural, but is a powerful social and organizational enabler.

The collaborative revolution has begun!
New enterprises are putting latent resources to work, sharing cars and homes, space and time. Rachel Botsman talks about collaborative consumption as “the reinvention of traditional market behaviors – renting, lending, swapping, sharing, bartering, gifting – through technology”. We’re becoming a sharing economy, where a variety of resources are creating new businesses and currencies.
Knowledge is the ultimate currency, deserving of a prominent space within this revolution. Knowledge can also be efficiently shared and has immense value to those with needs or interests.
In many areas today, you’re no longer recognized simply by the information or knowledge you hold. What matters more is how you share that knowledge and collaborate to provide guidance, identify solutions, drive innovation and achieve goals. Näleg provides that capability.
