With some hundreds of participants and renowned KM gurus from various parts of the world, KM Asia 2006 conference has definitely made impacts to a number of young KMers like us. Being invited by Ark Group, the organizer, to join as a delegate, I was quite delighted to join the 2-day conference, which allowed well space for networking and to listen to people’s perception on various knowledge management issues.

................................................................ InfoSys started knowledge management 7/8 years back. The initiative was started by the direct inspiration of its CEO. The existence of Knowledge gaps ( knowledge created in one point and being used in another point), was the main driving force for Infosys to embark on KM. Currently, Infosys uses 5% of its revenue in learning & development.
