The first ever international standard on knowledge management has been released as a draft. What does it mean for PPM professionals?

Knowledge management (KM) is a discipline concerned with how organisations create and use knowledge. In practice it is often poorly understood and confused with information management – a missed opportunity! In recognition of this, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has appointed a working group of leading international KM experts and is developing the first ever international standard on KM.

The purpose of the standard, which has been published as a draft for comments, is to help organisations understand what KM is and how to approach it. The standard represents current good practice in KM.

Join this webinar to find out what the international KM experts have to say about KM and how to do it.

Judy Payne, Knowledge SIG Co-chair and member of the ISO working group that has drafted the standard, will introduce and cover the following points:

• What is the status of the standard?
• Why is the standard needed?
• What are the key messages in the standard?
• Why are the messages in the standard different from the KM entry in the APM BoK?
• What does the standard mean for PPM professionals?
