Knowledge Leak? Don't put a thumb in it, KM it!

Hello all, this is the intro to our latest blog along with a link to the full article if you are interested...

I’ve often blogged about the complexities of KM and the need to treat
KM activity in a holistic way, but what about some of the micro-KM
activities?  This blog looks at a specific issue for KM, succession
planning, and reveals the depth of complexity that our (KM) activities
encompass as we pull in complimentary concepts to solve our problems.

Matt Moore - Performance Enhancing

"In 2003, the knowledge management group I worked in was merged with the learning team. As with all mergers, the first meeting was, er, interesting. Each group across from the other. Someone from the other side of the table spoke up: 'You do something with databases, don't you?' They didn't know what we did. We didn't know what they did. It proved to be fun, and sometimes painful, finding out."

An introduction: Hi, I'm Mike Riverdsale, who are you?

It was at an NZKM lunchtime catch-up here in Wellington that someone made a great observation - "Let's not dive into having formal agenda but start by getting to know each other" (I paraphrase).

And that person was totally onto it - without us actually knowing each other it's pretty tough to share ideas, have trust and get along. And so, this is me (source: my company site):
