This advanced course explores in depth KM strategic planning and how to implement KM platforms effectively in the digital workplace. It will help you to articulate an organisational business plan to champion and start you on the road to a pervasive and successful KM culture in your organisation. It builds on the success of UKeiG's “Practical KM for Information Professionals” but participants need not have attended that course.

Who should attend?

*Senior managers with responsibility for knowledge mobilisation and sharing initiatives who need an enterprise-centric view of KM
*Information managers and staff who are planning or contemplating embracing KM as a key service
*Senior professional services staff outside of library and information services (IT, Finance, Communications, HR, for example) who require a strategic overview of KM implementation issues
*Digital librarians and information professionals

This course, led by Dion Lindsay, a KM consultant and trainer with an intimate understanding of how KM is currently being considered in the workplace, will show you how to plan strategically and implement modern Knowledge Management for your organisation. Topics covered include:

*Knowledge management principles and standards
*KM software, platforms and systems
*Types of KM strategies and maturity models
