Is KM dead?

Posted onDecember 8, 2007AuthorMarcus Birkenkrahe3 Comments

Funny feeling to read about knowledge management (KM) as “a buzzword of the 90’s” in a recent blog – because it was such a large part of my professional life… I don’t know why the Read More …

No time to sharpen the axe?

Posted onDecember 8, 2007AuthorMarcus Birkenkrahe2 Comments
