The Past and future of knowledge management
What have been the major trends in knowledge management over the past three decades ? Has it fulfilled its promise, and where is it heading? What have we learned about knowledge in organisations? Hear from two major figures in the field of knowledge management, Larry Prusak and Ed Hoffman in an informal presentation and discussion session with ISKO Singapore.
Larry Prusak
Larry Prusak is a researcher and consultant and was the founder and Executive Director of the Institute for Knowledge Management (IKM). This was a global consortium of member organizations engaged in advancing the practice of knowledge management through action research. Larry has had extensive experience, within the U.S. and internationally, in helping organizations work with their information and knowledge resources. He has also consulted with many U.S. and overseas government agencies and international organizations (NGO's).
Both a pioneer and a noted authority in knowledge management, Larry has lectured and been published widely. His most recent book publications include co-editing Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning (Oxford University Press, 2005), and co-authoring Storytelling in Organizations (Elsevier, 2004). His publications also include: What's the Big Idea (Harvard Business School Press, 2003), co-authored with Tom Davenport, Creating Value with Knowledge (Oxford University Press, 2003), co-edited with Eric Lesser, and In Good Company: How Social Capital Makes Organizations Work (Harvard Business School Press, 2001), co-authored with Don Cohen, which was listed as one of 2001 Best Business Books awarded by Harvard Business School Review. He has also co-authored two other books with Tom Davenport: Working Knowledge (Harvard Business School Press, 1998) one of the pioneering classics in knowledge management, and Information Ecology (Oxford University Press, 1997). Working Knowledge has sold over 100,000 copies and has been translated into 12 languages; the paperback edition with a new Preface was published in 2000.
