Continuing the Discussion - Changing Knowledge Management Priorities
Description:
Knowledge management (KM) constantly evolves -- in fact, many of us were engaging in it before we even knew the term. Today, KM includes "original KM" such as precedents, forms and PSLs, and "new KM" such as data analytics, artificial intelligence and practice economics. In this virtual roundtable, an experienced panel will lead an audience discussion on these changing priorities. With several polls planned to solicit your views and your active participation, we look forward to a lively conversation.
You may wish to view our previous webinar, Starting and Optimizing Knowledge Management Programs: Perspectives Across the Spectrum, and download key takeaways from Continuing the Discussion - Starting a Knowledge Management Program.
