[ Knowledge ]

The field of knowledge management brings up thoughts of databases, electronic libraries, and lessons learnt sessions.  While all of these are tangible, useful ways to manage knowledge, it is the context of that knowledge which is most important.  And context is lost in those sterile databases.

Knowledge management is more than databases.  Some of my work involves training and coaching around the development of knowledge plans for people, not for the storage unit.

The transfer of knowledge depends entirely on people. 

That means people talking to each other, teaching, training, exchanging, debating, discussing, listening, thinking, disagreeing, agreeing, and so on.
