Knowledge Management Discussion: KM Programs for Everyone!

When:  Nov 28, 2017 from 15:00 to 16:00 (ET)

Description

We invite you to join us for our first quarterly knowledge management (KM) virtual roundtable. No matter what size firm or department you're part of, these conversations aim to provide you with information, answers and real-life examples you can take back to your KM department.

In this first discussion, our panel will start from the beginning. We encourage you to bring your own questions or examples to the table as we cover topics including:

  • Starting or kickstarting a KM program - small ways to build credibility and momentum
  • Refreshing technology and reinvigorating a program
  • Building awareness
  • Low resource but high impact examples

The success of this discussion will rely on your input, so please come prepared to participate and share your thoughts, and challenges.
