Knowledge Management

Knowledge sharing in a public museum

In the last months, Dirk and I (the two coordinators of the German Knowledge Management MOOC, WMOOC) had quite difficulties re-editing the recordings of the WMOOC live sessions due to numerous new projects. But now Dirk is thankfully investing holiday time in exactly this task (Thank you so much, Dirk!!) and finally the fascinating session on Knowledge sharing as a part of project knowledge management in one of Polish public museums with Kamila Brodzińska from Jagiellonian University in Kraków is online (duration 53’56 min). As you may have guessed from the language of this post the session was held in English. Enjoy!

BTW, this year’s WMOOC will again start on October 3rd, just as the accompanying qualification to become a Knowledge Management Professional. Further information on latter can be found here. So, register to become part of the WMOOC community!

WMOOC Live Session on ‚A short history of KM development‘

Even though the German Knowledge Management MOOC (WMOOC) already ended few weeks ago we are still polishing the recordings of our live sessions. One more is available now, one more in English language: Peter Pawlowsky of Chemnitz University talks about A short history of KM development, from knowledge distribution to knowledge sharing (83’19 min). He also gives a personal outlook on the future of KM. Enjoy!

WMOOC Live Session zum Pyramid Model online

Mein Wissensmanagement-MOOC Mit-Koordinator Dirk Liesch war über den Jahreswechsel ganz fleißig und hat die Aufzeichnungen der letzten Live Sessions aus dem WMOOC 2022 bearbeitet und online gestellt. Los geht es hier in meinem Blog in dieser Woche mit Annika Lawrence, die über das im Rahmen ihrer von mir betreuten Masterarbeit entwickelte Pyramid Model für Wissensmanagement berichtet. Sehr inspirierend (Dauer 43’55 Min). Viel Spaß!

Catalogue of Competencies in Knowledge Management

In 2019 Angelika Mittelmann and I, together with a small focus group in the GfWM (German and Austrian Society for Knowledge Management), developed a catalogue of competencies for various roles in knowledge management. Recently, we had the opportunity to present this catalogue to an expert panel of the Singapore Chapter of the International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO). This is the reason why this catalogue is now also available in English language. Feel free to use it! We are looking forward to you sharing your profiles – created with this catalogue – with us. And of course we are happy about any feedback.

Simply explained: another short story on competence

What diving has to do with the SECI model

In one of my university courses the students are asked to produce a short video on a core concept of knowledge management. Alisa Ruths chose the SECI model and created a wonderful video explanation…which was retrieved on the internet by a huge international company that now wants to use it for their internal KM training. To this purpose Alisa created an English version of her video which I proudly present here:

By the way, the German version can be found here.
