Knowledge Management

Knowledge Management (KM) is a collection of systematic approaches to help information and knowledge flow to and between the right people at the right time. APQC is the leading source for innovative thinking and the latest research in knowledge management (KM). We’ve been at the forefront of KM since APQC’s Chairman of the Board and former CEO Carla O’Dell, helped establish KM as a vital business discipline in 1993. Whether you’re developing a KM strategy or want best practices from organizations with longstanding KM programs, APQC gives you access to an array of trusted resources and tools. Our Annual KM Conference draws KM practitioners and decision makers from around the world, and remains the premier industry conference.
