​IAKM PANEL AT THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

Education is a hot topic for the KM community, and this year our Association has led a number of initiatives and project on this. Here, we report on the special Panel entitled “Knowledge Management Education: Five Ws and One H” that was organized at ICKM 2016 in Vienna by IAKM members Meliha Handzic, John Edwards, Sandra Moffett, Alexeis Garcia-Perez, Aino Kianto and Ettore Bolisani. The goal was to discuss key aspects of KM education,  in response to the challenges posed by the necessity to improve KM as a discipline and an established professional field. Through panelists’ provoking presentations and interactions with the audience (see slides), the idea was to start a discussion  by addressing  the “why, what, who, where and when” perspectives with the ultimate purpose to reflect on how to approach KM education in the future.

After the presentation and a short “question time”, where the participants asked for clarifications or contributed to the debate with their points, the audience was divided into two groups (group 1 and group 2), each one focusing on a different aspect of KM education. The first group discussed the problem of how to teach or learn KM in universities and school, while the second group focused on KM education in the industry.

The two groups animated a very lively debate that was synthesized by means of keywords in short memos places on two boards (board 1 and board 2). The results of this group work exercise will also be summarized and presented in a forthcoming article of the Special Issue on “KM in Education – Education in KM” in preparation for VINE – Journal of Information and Knowledge Management Systems.
