Knowledgeboard is an open space for the Knowledge Management community. It has been drawn as a kernel to link together different forms of communities coming from different school of thoughts. Since the begining, it involves academia, consultants and industrials.

The richness of our community is based on the contents provided by each of us and the interactions we develop. As a plateform, KB2.0 is based on several form of groups ; The Special Interest Groups, the linguistic Zones, the EU projects.

In the next future other forms will be available to connect other national or regional networks. All these SIGs and Zones are the right place to contribute, test, exchange, comment.

So welcome here and learn with us in a friendly atmosphere. In case you didn't find the right place for your idea or initiative, check the incubator SIG first (On-the-fire projects will be visible there) before sending an Email to sigsupport@knowledgeboard.com
