AS 5037- 2005 KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT - A GUIDE
"The transition into the knowledge era means that knowledge has become the major asset and capability for contemporary organisations" (AS 5037-2005).
Standards Australia has published AS 5037-2005 Knowledge Management - A Guide. This Standard, the world's first for Knowledge Management, is the culmination of four years' work by Committee MB-007. The Standard will be launched on 8th November 2005 by Catherine Livingstone, Chairman of the Australian Business Foundation.
IIM is proud to be one of the 14 organisation represented on this Committee, by Ling Heang of our WA Committee. We thank our members who had contributed to the standard development and review process over the last four years.
