What is the Knowledge Management Forum

The Knowledge Management Forum, referred to simply as the KM Forum was established in 1995 to promote a better understanding of an emerging concept that has come to be referred to as "Knowledge Management."

These pages serve as an archive to the actives of the KM Forum from 1995 through 1996.


Organization

The site is organized into seven major areas. These are;

What is KM - A summary of discussions on that knowledge management is and isn't. The initial thoughts were provided by the KM Forum's host, Bo Newman. Additional thoughts on the topic by members of the KM Forum have been, and will continue to be added as they are expressed by the KM Forum participants.
