As I’m the champion for this effort, hereby my proposal how to kick it off.
Before starting, we should realise that knowledge management is the area where most projects fail. It is hard, and we’d long given up if only it weren’t essential.
Therefore, before jumping to conclusions, I propose we set-up a community of practice on knowledge management, where we discuss 2 things in the coming months:
- Issues related to knowledge management
- Case studies (i.e. successes, partial successes and failures)
I’ve set-up the community of practice in our Dokeos e-learning portal, which is the most suitable environment for this. To join the community of practice:
I hope this effort will allow us to avoid the usual knowledge management traps, better understand our needs, and define a more productive system for implementation in 2009.
Thanks to Sergio for flagging this. It appears not so straightforward to find the location to register for a course. After login, you need to go to course management and then you’ll find a place where you can subscribe to courses.
