Continued explorations of a KM COP

To all who may have an interest.

We held our second KM CoP at RAF Molesworth. I have come to understand that my company actually has a quite robust KM COP as well as many other COPs.  These are connected via a tool called Yammer which the company uses as a question/response tool.  It does allow for fairly rapid responses and aligns with many best practices identified in KM.  Additionally, I had but one other individual attend the event, so, perhaps, this may be a purposeless…

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AS A CONCEPT
