KM qualifications ??

In my experience formal KM qualifications count for very little, why? * KM as a domain is poorly defined, there are few unique theories and the lore is scattered * KM technologies are in constant flux - what wins today is old hat next month * Key KM skills require practice , exposure and learning by doing - knowledge mapping, understanding knowledge representation, using KM activities in a business area (call centers, CRM, supply chains) * To put your learning on a fast track, you must find an interested mentor, come to appreciate the business context and understand the tacit matching between KM activities and payback. This cannot be gained from traditional courses & book learning. My suggestion is to seek an 'internship', just dive in and learn from others, build a personal network, keep asking hard questions and get feedback on your progress. Save your money - most KM recruiters are looking for experience, practice and exposure, NOT expensive qualifications, certifications and degrees!!
