Despite its small size, Switzerland is a significant contributor to global economic output, and particularly so in knowledge-intensive industries such as pharmaceuticals, precision engineering and financial services where it has global leading companies. KM Institute (TM) Switzerland has been established to provide these industries world-leading certified knowledge management training and learning support combined with competency-based and on-the-job performance-support.
Douglas Connect, a Swiss business located in the vicinity of Basel, now acts as local training program & service provider for the International Knowledge Management Institute (TM) and will be launching the certified KM management training of the Institute in Basel later this Spring. "The combination of the unrivalled comprehensive breadth & high quality of the KM Institute’s knowledge-based learning programs convinced us of the value offered to local Swiss knowledge managers", said Barry Hardy, coordinator of Douglas Connect’s KM activities, "the first KM training running with Douglas Weidner in Basel in early June promises to be a unique experience; Weidner’s materials and stimulating approach combined with the input of participants to workshop discussion topics should provide for a great learning experience for all involved!"
"The KM Institute (TM) envisions the success of the "Knowledge Imperative" as one of the last great business challenges and frontiers. It is dedicated to researching, defining and publishing KM knowledge in various forms. It will be what both KM practitioners and knowledge workers need to know for successful application of KM and career success applying ‘Personal KM’ in the Knowledge Age," says Douglas Weidner, one of the Founders and Chairman of the Institute.
The KM Institute(TM) focuses on building the KM Body of Knowledge (KMBOK(TM)) of evolving KM methods, techniques, lessons learned, and keys to success. The KMInstitute (TM) provides the broadest KM learning and collaborative environment available, including the Certified Knowledge Manager (CKM (TM)), Master CKM (MCKM(TM)), Certified Knowledge Specialist (CKS(TM)), Certified Knowledge Technologist (CKT(TM)), and Certified Knowledge Worker (CKW(TM)) Programs, provided by best-in-class KM training vendors around the world. Its competency-based certification criteria are being developed by an international certification board of leading KM and E-Learning experts.
We are very much looking forward to bringing world-leading KM Instructor Douglas Weidner here to Switzerland for an in-depth Certified Knowledge Manager (CKM(TM)) training workshop in June. We anticipate demand for further Weidner-led Swiss workshops and additionally will be providing extensive Internet-based support and delivery of additional learning modules to all workshop participants. "Participants are obtaining much more than a single workshop", says Barry Hardy, "they are becoming members of an extended learning support program and community of best management practice. We anticipate that after certification certain selected trainers and managers, will develop interest in leading KMInstitute (TM) workshops themselves and becoming active faculty members and contributors with the Institute".
