Happy fifth anniversary RealKM Magazine!

Five years ago today, RealKM Magazine welcomed its first readers, with the aim of promoting and supporting evidence-based knowledge management (KM). We do this by bringing you the findings of high-value knowledge management research through concise, practically-oriented articles.

Since its establishment, RealKM Magazine has cemented a vital role in the international KM landscape, becoming a key go-to resource for KM practitioners and the managers and leaders of organisations.

Over the past five years, we’ve now published more than 1,200 articles which are enjoyed by around 4,000 active monthly readers. Many of our articles have now been viewed thousands of times, with our most popular article exceeding 28,000 views.

A big THANK YOU to the RealKM Patrons!

A big fifth anniversary THANK YOU goes to our RealKM Patrons, whose generous support makes the continuation of RealKM Magazine possible.

A very special thank you goes to Dr Arthur Shelley and Stephen Bounds, who are RealKM Platinum-level Patrons, our highest supporter level. Both are well-known leaders in the global KM community:

Dr Arthur Shelley: Intelligent Answers is a specialist consulting firm with the vision to “Build capabilities and productive relationships through creative learning.” IA founder Dr Arthur Shelley supports organisations to sustain capability development, accelerate new knowledge co-creation, improve organisational relationships and enhance performance, through integration of their unique KNOWledge SUCCESSion approach into their clients’ culture.

Stephen Bounds: Stephen is the founding editor and a Platinum-level Patron of RealKM Magazine, and Executive, Information Management at Cordelta. He is an information and knowledge management specialist with a wide range of experience across the government and private sectors, combining clear strategic thinking and a hands-on approach to help organisations successfully develop and implement modern information systems.

Please take the time to visit the websites of our RealKM Platinum and other Patrons to see how you might be able to show your support for their important KM work, just as their outstanding support makes RealKM Magazine possible.

Please also think about becoming a RealKM Patron yourself, and in doing so making a very valuable contribution to the future of KM.

A special mention also goes to Straits Knowledge, one of our very first RealKM Gold Patrons. Straits Knowledge has actively supported RealKM Magazine since our very beginning, but has been unable to continue as a RealKM Patron due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
