We really need to talk about… knowledge management as a profession
Events - PublicStarting 20 Jun 2019 - 18:00 through to 20 Jun 2019 - 20:00
Knowledge management (KM) is maturing rapidly. Is now the
moment in time, the inflection point, for accreditation and
recognition of the KM professional?
In 2018 the first ever international standard on KM was
published. APM took the decision to include a comprehensive account of
KM in
APM Body of Knowledge
7th edition. CILIP ramped up its KM activities, including
chartership for KM. These are all signs that KM is reaching maturity
and becoming recognised as a discipline and an organisational practice.
What does this mean for KM professionals? What does it mean for
people who work with KM professionals? In this courageous conversation
event, Nick Poole, Sonia Ramadhian and Judy Payne invite you to
explore your understanding of KM as a profession. How can
professionals take ownership of their professionalism? What is a
profession, anyway? Where do ethics and values fit in? How can people
from different professions, such as KM and project management, work together?
This small, interactive and stimulating conversation event will
address questions such as these and explore our collective
understanding of what it means to be, and work with, KM professionals.
Please don’t expect definitive answers. This event is one strand
of a conversation that we hope will lead to better understanding,
better practice, better KM and better projects.
We want to encourage a greater confidence in the APM community to
talk freely and fearlessly about how to improve the practice of KM and
project management.
The event will be recorded and key points from the conversation
used as the basis of a short animated video, designed to stimulate
wider discussion online. You can see our previous videos on the
Courageous Conversation playlist
