Since the early 1990's, the importance of Knowledge Management (KM) and Innovation management (IM) to create an organization's competitive advantage has been widely recognized worldwide in the government, public and private sectors. KM and IM are interdisciplinary and complex areas of study by integrating technology centered and human centered approaches from the perspective of system science. The need for learning and innovation capability is critical for organizations, thus Knowledge Management and Intellectual Capital have an important role to play as a catalyst for the proper achievement of both of them.
This international KM conference, started in 2004 (KMAP), has now been renamed as "International Conference on Innovation and Knowledge Management in Asia Pacific (IKMAP)" to include the important element of "innovation management". The conference has been held in different cities before including Hong Kong, Taipei, Bangkok, Kobe of Japan, Wellington of New Zealand as well as Guangzhou, Xian and Shanghai of China.

Video: Knowledge Cafe at KM Egypt 2010

This video was taken at KM Egypt in September 2010 where I was invited to run a Knowledge Cafe.

It is probably one of the best videos that not only describes my Knowledge Cafes but where you also get to see it in action and hear some of the insights from the people taking part.

Note: the room and the tables are not the ideal setting for a Knowledge Cafe nor is the reporting back process but often the Cafe needs to be adapted to fit the room and the number of participants.
