In analyzing relationships among the various memes and the movements and sub-movements associated with them, we have to be clear about which definitions we’re using.

This post continues my analysis of Ray Sims’s presentation to the Boston KM Forum on April 9, 2008. In approaching “Knowledge Management,” Ray again asks what the term “means to me.” He begins by describing his own research on definitions of KM. His initial effort produced 43 separate definitions which he reported on in his […]

This entry will continue my discussion of presentations given at The Boston KM Forum on April 9, 2008. Ray Sims offered a […]
