A very special thank you to retiring RealKM Platinum Patron Dr Arthur Shelley!

On behalf of RealKM Magazine and its global community, I extend a very special thank you to retiring RealKM Platinum Patron Dr Arthur Shelley. Arthur has wrapped up the last of his work as one of the world’s leading knowledge management (KM) practitioners, and now enters retirement.

Very understandably, retirement means that he is unable to continue his extraordinary financial support for RealKM Magazine. As a RealKM Platinum Patron since 2018 when we first began fundraising through the Patreon platform, Arthur has made an outstanding and very generous contribution to the achievement of our founding objective of sharing “high-value knowledge management research through concise, practically-oriented articles.”

While he is no longer able to support us financially, we’re very much looking forward to more of his contributions as an author, with his first new article coming up very soon in RealKM Magazine!

As an esteemed RealKM Platinum Patrons who has contributed continuously for more than 3 years (a massive 8 years!), Arthur has also been specially awarded with Life Platinum Patron status, where his Patron Showcase items are permanently displayed for the lifetime of RealKM Magazine.


Become a PatronWithout the very generous support of the RealKM Patrons, RealKM Magazine could not exist. Check out the Patron Showcase, and if you’ve found RealKM Magazine helpful or thought-provoking, why not consider becoming a RealKM Patron yourself?
