The importance of Knowledge Management. Why Knowledge Management?
Before we start to explore and understand the details of what knowledge management is, and how to implement knowledge management projects and initiatives, we need to first ask ourselves why we want to consider knowledge management in the first place? What are the real benefits that can be gained from effective knowledge management for the individual, the team, the entire organization, the community, the nation, or even the entire planet Earth? Knowledge management is far reaching. Maybe you are considering developing your own personal knowledge management competencies, to become a more effective player in the global knowledge economy, or becoming a more competitive knowledge leader and knowledge driven organization.
Maybe you wish to develop and apply knowledge management strategies to government, military operations, global poverty eradication, international disaster management and even, now, knowledge management for global climate change.

Then a few days later Jeff links to Steve Rubel's article on The Digital Curator, of whom Steve says: The call of the curator requires people who are selfless and willing to act as sherpas and guides. Teachers are not knowledge owners anymore, they are knowledge curators. OpenCulture » Blog Archive » The Rise and Fall of the Curator. What are the essential ingredients of a museum?

Accelerating Change: Are You a Teacher or a Curator? My favorite teacher was a man, prematurely gray at 35 years old, whom we called "Mr.
John. " This guy challenged me on everything, and I mean everything. He taught physics and our experiments were meant to enable us to follow a chain of reasoning to prove or disprove some theorem. Even when I nailed the reasoning and the data from the experiment he'd force me to look at it in another way, to apply perspective that had nothing to do with physics, and he could then get me to question whether the damn table was solid! Mr. Gerrit Visser: Use Smart Knowledge Networks to Be a Curator. Gerrit Visser has been digitally curating content since “just after the internet was invented” in 1996.
