"Thoughts on Knowledge Management" Discussion

This Roundtable is based on the bi-weekly published "Thoughts on Knowledge Management", which can be found on LinkedIn and here. We will randomly select appropriate statements from the following areas:

  • Knowledge Management (KM)
  • Definition of Knowledge
  • Learning and Collaboration
  • Change

For each selected "Thought" we will discuss various questions, e.g.: What is my opinion on this? What does this mean for my work? How can I make use of this "Thought"? What can I learn from it? Other questions that arise are also welcome.

This Roundtable is therefore 100% interactive and requires everyone to participate. It aims to provide all attendees (including the facilitator himself) with new insight. Depending on the audience, the discussions will be in German or English.

The discussions will help you see Knowledge Management and related disciplines from a different perspective and discover new aspects. Furthermore, you'll realize how some Knowledge Management principles apply not only to the professional context, but also to the everyday life.

Networking and apéro at Restaurant Grosse Schanze (Parkterrasse 10, Bern) from 17:30h

Location

Bern University, room 115, Hochschulstrasse 4, 3012 Bern

Friday, 18.10.2024 - General Assembly (GA) for members only at 5:30 pm - Focus Discussion at 6:15 pm  

You are warmly invited to participate at our special Focus Discussion after the annual SKMF General Assembly.

Digital technology now promises a solution, as demonstrated at ECKM 2024 and now shared with you.

We’ll explore how to design efficient knowledge sharing processes, identify best practices from industry experts, and discuss how technology and AI can streamline voice processing.

Join this FocusDiscussion and share your expertise. Take away insights and tools for your professional work, such as a workflow to process voice recordings.
