Introduction:

The course will focus on the people aspects of Knowledge Management rather than the technology concerned. Knowledge Management needs the creation of a culture in which people are willing to share not only their successes but also, sometimes their failures.

The knowledge inside any organization is probably the greatest asset you have; so the need to protect and develop it.
