WASHINGTON, DC

KMPro Announces its Continuing Education Unit (C.E.U.) Program:
KMPro is pleased to announce that those who need to obtain Continuing Education Unit (CEU) to meet professional continuing educational requirements will be able to receive CEU credits for attending the KMPro Certified Knowledge Manager (CKM)™ certification workshop. The CEU credit is a nationallly recognized unit of measurement for participation in continuing education programs. KMPro's new program will offer “KM-CEU”™ credits to be awarded based on the standard policy of one CEU being defined as 10 contact hours of participation in an organized education experience under sponsorship of KMPro and with qualified instruction. Attendees will be able to receive a certificate which shows the number of CEUs awarded and will verify that they have been awarded by a professional society. KMPro will maintain a record of that educational accomplishment for verification purposes.

The objectives of the KMPro KM-CEU™ program is to encourage participants to utilize educational resources to meet their personal and educational needs, with the recognition that individuals need to continue their education and keep themselves current in their chosen occupations and professions -- whether that be specific to knowledge management or to other related or unrelated fields. And the KMPro
Certified Knowledge Manager (CKM)™ certification workshop format and content makes for a perfect fit in supporting those working in KM as well as other fields. Additional information will be available shortly on the KMPro Certified Knowledge Manager (CKM)™ certification workshop information page.

2nd Annual ''Knowledge Management Month''
Posted by kmproboard on Friday, August 17 @ 07:56:46 EDT



August 17, 2007
WASHINGTON, DC


Knowledge Management Month


October starts the 2nd annual celebration of international “Knowledge Management Month.” Knowledge Management Month is a month for KMPro members and all other KM'ers worldwide to partcipate in activities intended to increase awareness and focus upon knowledge management.

Recognizing that Peter Drucker had identified improving the effectiveness of knowledge workers as the “most important management challenge of the 21st century” knowledge management has become critical to organizations world-wide. Yet despite that fact, it seems that many organizations remain unclear of the value of KM or how to implement it. Which is why as the world's largest KM association/society KMPro “champions” this event.

KMPro encourages ALL KM'ers worldwide and all other KM societies and associations to join in this month -- to promote all that is KM. Additional information on plans and activities will be available on the KMPro website as well as on the KM Month event site itself (available by October 1st). If you would like to volunteer to sponsor, host or coordinate any activities (including online events) or contribute in any way (suggest an idea!), please contact Dr. Dan Kirsch (email or call +01-757-460-6500).

Dr. Nick Bontis, a member of KMPro's Advisory Board had this to say about KM Month:

“October is Knowledge Management Month. This means that for 31 days knowledge workers around the world will unite in their effort to harvest the full intellectual capital potential of their organizations. We will seek to promote knowledge sharing behaviours and we will not tolerate the destructive behaviours of hoarders. We will embrace and support all KM educational programs. We will appreciate both the technological and human aspects of KM equally. And, we will seek out and kiss a CKO on the cheek!”

Dr. Nick Bontis
Director, Institute for Intellectual Capital Research
Professor of Strategy, McMaster University

The Saint-Onge Alliance has extended a very generous discount on the subscriptions for their two world-class (and known world-wide!) tool kits.

About the Saint-Onge Toolkit
For nearly two decades, Hubert Saint-Onge has been refining a model known as the Knowledge Assets Framework. This proven model is designed for the strategic integration of business plans with people management systems, using technology architecture and organizational infrastructure.

Hubert Saint-Onge is well-known in the international community of knowledge assets practitioners. He began his life work in knowledge management almost two decades ago, and has been lauded for his innovative thinking and leadership skills. He has a solid track record in leading large organizations (previously as Vice President of The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce) to become knowledge-focused enterprises.

Mr. Saint-Onge has done seminal work in the area of corporate cultural values and customer relationships. He is a passionate and compelling presenter, and able to easily synthesize disparate perspectives into themes that will assist dialogue. Exposure to his ideas will permanently enlarge your awareness of how organizations function.

The Saint-Onge Toolkit is a compilation of his signature PPT slides enhanced by rich media (video clips from live presentations). Add to this Hubert's lessons learned from the field and you have a comprehensive blueprint for a knowledge strategy implementation appropriate for any firm.

The Saint-Onge Toolkit is a support system for consultants, CKOs and individuals who wish to create a knowledge-focused strategy within organizations. The tools and methods included in the Toolkit are developed for conceptually agile people who are practical in their knowledge management approach. Currently the Toolkit includes a Knowledge Management primer, Hubert Saint-Onge's Knowledge Assets Framework, a module on Values mapping, an outline of a three year Knowledge Strategy implementation process, a KM anthology, a library of video clips and white papers, a series of PowerPoint presentations with voice clips and a module on Customer Capital.




About the Saint-Onge Community of Practice Toolkit
The Community of Practice Toolkit is a practical how-to guide distilled from Hubert Saint-Onge and Deb Wallace’s book. It introduces prospective community of practice leaders to the fundamentals of knowledge management and to the process of establishing a community of practice. It includes a library of video presentations and white papers, a series of PowerPoint presentations with video clips, and a range of performance support tools that can be downloaded from the Library site. This Toolkit makes extensive use of rich-media components that afford a highly experiential delivery of ideas presented by subject matter experts.
