Vale David Bennet, knowledge management thought leader

Dr David Bennet, a notable knowledge management thought leader, has passed away. On behalf of RealKM Cooperative, I pass on our thoughts and sympathies to David’s wife, Dr Alex Bennet, and their family.

With his wife Alex, David has made a significant contribution to research-based knowledge management (KM), publishing more than 40 books and numerous academic research papers. A nuclear physicist and neuroscientist, David was the Chairman of his own engineering consulting company. He advised senior leaders in government and industry in areas of strategic planning, decision-making, knowledge management, organizational learning, acquisition reform, enterprise alignment, integrated product teams, and integrated product and process development.

David and Alex also founded Mountain Quest Institute, which helps people achieve growth through quests for knowledge, meaning, and consciousness, using science, humanistic, and spiritual methodologies.
