Today we have a challenge that our ancestors did not have: the “general” knowledge base doubles every four to five years, making knowledge management essential. Personal knowledge management is a set of activities that a person uses to gather, classify, store, search, retrieve, and share knowledge. It is based on the concept that knowledge workers increasingly need to be responsible for their own growth and learning and represents a bottom-up approach to knowledge management.
This handy guide is a practical guide to knowledge and knowledge management. It provides a background to the subject and a practical insight into what is required and how to setup a computer based personal knowledge management solution. Some aspects focus on the enablement of yacht and small craft surveyors; however most aspects are just as applicable when used by commercial ship marine surveyors too.
