Hi again Chris
I agree strongly re the connections.
I always seem to end up with lots of dotted line relationships between IT, OD, L&D, library, Records etc, I guess reflecting the transdisciplinary calling of KM. Another factor is the sheer range of initiatives that contribute to the 'knowledge stuff'.
I'm keen to catch up for a chat over coffee re how some of the places I work slice the pie across functions.  Give me a yell on mobile is this would be of interest. 0418724902
Kind Regards
Kate

Thanks Kate,

I guess I am seeing more and more strong overlaps. Of course I'm
working from my own example – and I'm seeing KM work around culture is
seen as OD, building and sustaining capability through KM initiatives
generally perceived as L&D, facilitation of groups for K sharing
(anecdotes etc) again seen as OD along with innovation and
collaboration.

Maybe we're communicating too simple a view of KM. Mind you, we are
going through a restructure and HR is being heavily hit – perhaps they
are scrambling to validate their own roles any way they can – as is KM.

Cheers
Chris
