Following our class discussion last week on learning and KM, I came across the following in an article I was reading. The quote is from Hubert Saint-Onge, Sr VP of Strategic Capabilities for Clarica Life Insurance:
The connection between learning and knowledge management is generally not well understood because the two fields have been kept separate from an organization structure point of view. Yet learning can best be served by a comprehensive knowledge strategy that includes learning modules as well as other sources of knowledge, including knowledge databases, documents, and policies. The knowledge interface we recently created allows individuals to run a search that calls upon all learning materials, as well as these other sources of knowledge. Contrasting KM and OL may not be all that helpful. In fact, a knowledge-driven organization and a learning organization will ultimately end up looking very much alike. Is After Action Review a learning method or a KM approach?
This very much reflects the core of my thoughts on the intersection between learning and KM. Any comments or thoughts?
