This month, like many others around the globe, I’ve been watching the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games. One thing that always strikes me when watching these events is the incredible journey that leads up to the athletes’ eventual goal—all the years of practice, training, and mental preparation that goes into a minute-long race or five-minute skating performance. I think those of us working in knowledge management (KM) can learn something from this. What we do behind the scenes, to prepare for our “big event” is just as important—if not more—than the actual endpoint.

I am very excited to make the announcement of this new publication – the Guide to Monitoring and Evaluating Knowledge Management in Global Health Programs. It is the successor to the former version – the Guide to Monitoring and Evaluating Health Information Products and Services, published in 2007.

Recently the Global Health Knowledge Collaborative (GHKC) brought together about 200 knowledge management (KM) professionals working in international development to share KM tools and ideas. The Global Health Knowledge Management Share Fair: Challenges and Opportunities had a variety of breakout sessions focusing on different KM interventions such as Net-Map, communities of practice (CoPs), blended learning, social media measurement, and many others.
