Profiles in Knowledge in honor of International Women's Day

Exploring Aspects of KM that Contribute to the Passion Expressed by Its Thought Leaders by Alex Bennet

Top 50 Most Influential People in Tacit Knowledge Management

My Book: Profiles in Knowledge: 120 Thought Leaders in Knowledge Management

Thought leaders typically have written books, book chapters, and numerous articles published in periodicals. They tend to be frequent bloggers, speakers/workshop presenters at conferences, and presenters on community calls and webinars. They publish articles and make insightful posts on LinkedIn, post and reply in communities such as SIKM Leaders and KM4Dev, and serve as mentors to other KM practitioners. They practice what they preach by taking time to openly share their knowledge with others in the field.
