Stories about Melbourne knowledge management

I’m on the hunt for stories about knowledge management activities that are happening in Melbourne. Why? Because I’m on the organising committee for Melbourne KM Leadership Forum (KMLF) and we have a blog where we are posting about KM things happening in this fine (but sometime wet, windy and cold) city.

I’ve just written a little description of what Department of Primary Industries are doing with collaboration. I would love to hear about what you are doing too and happy to come visit and write something up if you’re game 🙂

An observation: knowledge management is rarely called knowledge management any more. Yet you find knowledge management being practised in a range of different projects like continuous improvement projects, culture change initiatives, leadership development, project management and practically anything else you can think of. In fact if you are systematically encouraging knowledge behaviours like the ones I posted about a couple of days ago, then you are doing knowledge management.
