KM
Chicago kicked off the year with a roundtable discussion on how to be a connect
organization. Many topics were gleaned from this conversation like generational
aspects of KM, mentoring, engaging employees virtually, creating a culture of
curation and more. Below is an outline for our KM Chicago program for the rest
of the year. If you have any topics you'd like to discuss or have a speaker in
mind, please let me know. Thanks to those who shared their experiences and
wisdom last night! It was much appreciated.
