Favorite There are 5 ways in which KM can be embedded in an organisation. Some of these are more common than others, and to fully embed KM can take over a decade. The most common ways of embedding KM, from the Knoco 2014 and 2017 surveys I often have people

Favorite When we review client Knowledge Management frameworks, it is often the same two elements that are missiong, or poorly developed.

Favorite Again yesterday I was corresponding with someone who used Google Trends as an argument that KM was dying. Taken at face value this view is understandable.
