Background
Now renamed as Knowledge Management Society (KMS), we continue to pursue inclusive, practitioner-focused perspectives, grounded in research. We bring together practitioners, researchers and commercial providers through publications, workshops, conferences, and online platforms such as webinars and global network online meetings.
The formalisation of Knowledge Management Global Network (KMGN) in 2015 had led to the inaugural Global Learning Week (2016) in Nanyang Technological University, which brought together leading KM experts from various partner countries. Today we form a global network of 12 countries ( with Indonesia, South Africa and Israel being the latest to join in our network)

Knowledge Ready Organisation (KRO), started in 2015 as an assessment that was meant to evaluate how well organisations were on their KM journey. From Inception to date it has been developed into a complex evaluation matrix, looking at an organisation on a holistic view of her readiness to be a knowledge enterprise. While we have the MIKE and the KM ISO, the KRO serves another purpose, not so much being an award but a consultative report about the strengths and attention areas organisations need to look at to elevate their Knowledge readiness in the ever-changing transformation and digitalisation climate. KRO has put the KMS on the map, to date we have awarded KRO to organisations in Russia, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Singapore and in 2019 Thailand.
Our passionate and driven KMS EXCO continues to seek and develop links with other KM organisations globally, to enhance its value proposition to members.
