Knowledge Management in the Voluntary Sector[i]
Managing knowledge is vital to the success of every organisation
The Centre for Information Management (CIM) invites you to come to Loughborough University for a workshop that will support you in your knowledge management endeavours.
As you will see from the programme below, there will be opportunities to hear of the benefits and challenges of managing knowledge in the voluntary sector as well as a chance to share your own experiences with practitioners from a diverse range of organisations.
This is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in initiating or improving their organisation’s knowledge management practices. So, whether you are from the public, private or not-for-profit sector, please do join us.
Come and learn more about how knowledge management can create a more successful organisation.
