KM and learning: A powerful combination

From the editor of Knowledge Management Review: How can you preserve employee knowledge through improved learning in your organization?

The latest issue of Knowledge Management Review (KMR), themed around organizational learning, looks into how the knowledge supply chain is managed at Infosys. The successful establishment and maintenance of this chain has been critical to the organization's emergence as one of the most high-profile companies from India in recent years.

This issue also looks into KM projects within the US Federal Government - how to measure the progress of KM initiatives and gauge where they may take us in future.

Read these articles:

Article 1: Managing the knowledge supply chain at Infosys
Article 2: How KM is transforming the US Federal Government

KMR is the #1 knowledge management journal available today:

"KMR is a valued resource that is required reading for my Knowledge Leadership Team. The academic discussion is important, but we want to know how to do it, why it works and what is the real business or operational value of a KM concept of KM practice. KMR delivers this!"
Bill Kaplan, Chief Knowledge Officer, Acquisition Solutions, Inc.
