conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:07 authored by Frank Odhiambo, Jaap PelsAcademics, consultants and publishers are pouring out information, both online and hard-copy on knowledge management
(KM). Only an experienced KM practitioner is able to sift fads from the applicable and transform that information into
action. KM is essentially about managing people’s activity focused on improving organisational or network community of
practice (CoP) knowledge sharing mechanisms and practices. This article introduces KM and describes how it is being
introduced to WELL partners through the Learn@WELL KM module. The article provides the rationale for the module
and describes the main activities within the module. An example of a KM plan is presented and a KM Do It Yourself kit
(KM DIY kit) for NGOs is synthesised based upon our experience with the module thus far.
