Deep dive into municipal knowledge challenges. What will society do to improve how we govern? Bill shares his expert perspective. _________________________________ Bill Kaplan is an independent Knowledge Management (KM) consultant, coach, advisor, and trainer. My approach to KM is business focused, non-academic, and practice-based, evolved from 20 years of hands on, roll up your sleeves KM solution planning and delivery.

It is about understanding the multi-year investments in time and resources necessary to sustain the KM outcomes that are part of your mission. I focus on the growing knowledge capture, sharing, and retention challenges increasingly faced by organizations like yours -- mitigating and preventing knowledge loss due to workforce turnover, whether it is from retirement, job or career change, or any of a longer list of causes, affecting both your leadership and workforce. Through the application of client specific, relevant KM concepts, strategies, and implementing practices, I work with you to facilitate your ability to deal directly, quickly, and sustainably with the knowledge challenges you face. ___________________________________________ Edwin K.
