Sustainability and Knowledge
Welcome to my two websites - sustainabilityknowledge.com and kmknowledge.com, bringing you knowledge and insights into two important challenges facing individuals, organizations and society:
- Sustainability - addressing climate change, depletion of natural resources, waste, pollution, increasing population etc. and how individuals, organizations and governments can develop sustainable strategies and practices.
- Knowledge management - creating, managing and enhancing our knowledge to develop more competitive and sustainable economies, businesses and lifestyles.
Developing these new websites is a long-term 'retirement' project. The first phase of the updated KM website went live in 2011. Content that has not been updated is at the KM archive website. The panel on the right takes you into relevant sections of both websites.
I look forward to providing you with quality content on these two important topics over the coming years.
