Knowledge Management Seminar - Tuesday 7th June 2005

- yarra river cruise

- mcaca official launch

- AMSA Toastmasters Club monthly meeting

Knowledge Management as an academic and business discipline has been evolving over the past ten years. In 2005 most organisations that have commenced the Knowledge Management journey are considering how best to build and sustain capability.

Knowledge Management is multi-disciplinary. Consequently research must recognise many dimensions in order to build our understanding of the issues and opportunities that contribute to improved productivity and social capital.

The University of Melbourne recognises the need to contribute to the existing body of knowledge. Further, it supports efforts to collaborate with business to focus the research activity and guide the development of educational program.

The forthcoming Knowledge Management Seminar (refer to attachment) is going to be held on Tuesday 7th June at the University of Melbourne, from 5:30 pm to approx. 8:00 pm (light refreshments will be provided).

Venue: Executive Lounge, Level 1, Alan Gilbert Building (corner of Grattan and Barry Streets), and thereafter for the presentation in Theatre 2, Level 1, Alan Gilbert Building.

The guest speaker at this seminar will be Sibylla Noras, Telstra - Knowledge Management.

If you are interested to attend the Knowledge Management Seminar, could you please RSVP by return email to Sarah Pedley (sjpedley@unimelb.edu.au), or by telephone: 03-834 43605, or by fax: 03-9349 2397. This is mainly for catering purposes.
