Outcomes of KMGN HacKMthon 2023, with RealKM & KM4Dev

How can knowledge management (KM) better support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

Keen to find out what happened during Knowledge Management Global Network (KMGN) HacKMthon 2023? Have a read of the following KMGN outcomes article to learn from the challenge owners about the global challenges discussed, contributor perspectives, and outcomes (takeaways).

RealKM & KM4Dev (represented by Bruce Boyes) were the challenge owners for Challenge B. Many thanks to Mohamad Faiz Selamat and the KMGN team for this opportunity, which has proven to be a pivotal point in regard to planned action to address human-centred/tacit knowledge in the sustainable development goals (SDGs). KM4Dev and RealKM look forward to further valuable collaboration with KMGN!

As discussed in the following outcomes article, the KM4Dev Core Group is now advancing the implementation of the Challenge B outcomes.
