- 8. 4. What arethe key messages in the standard? Introduction Requirements Appendices Knowledge comes from people. Knowledge is intangible. You can’t manage it directly. KM focuses on managing the working environment. Culture is critical to KM. Knowledge adds value when it contributes to something that matters, such as goals or performance. KM is a means of unlocking the value of knowledge. There is no one-size-fits all KM recipe. KM should include interactions between people to develop shared understanding. Don’t try and implement KM in one giant leap. Take it slowly and learn as you go.

- 10. 4. What arethe key messages in the standard? Introduction Requirements Appendices A: The knowledge spectrum B:Boundaries between KM and other disciplines C: KM culture Knowledge can take many forms – from the seed of an idea in an individual’s mind to an orchestral score. Knowledge management is not the same as information management. IM alone will not meet the requirements of the KM standard. A KM culture is one of collaboration, sharing, reflecting and learning. Promote a KM culture!

- 12. 6. What doesthe standard mean for project management professionals? • It’s an opportunity to find out what KM is really about. • It’s an opportunity to make projects and programmes more effective and efficient. • Certification to the standard is a way of demonstrating to clients and other stakeholders that you are competent at managing knowledge. • It’s up to YOU.
