Join us in Arthur Shelley’s recognition of service
Hello everyone. The Melbourne KMLF group has seem a few amazing KMers retire this year with years of service and volunteering to see our discipline grow. One in particular will be quite familiar to you all, Dr Arthur Shelley. Involved at local, national and global levels, Arthur has published important books, tools and insights, mentored many students and practitioners and been an amazing supporter of RealKM Magazine. This December at our end of year meeting we are planning to honour him and present him with a plaque of recognition and thanks.
If you would like to contribute a few dollars toward the plaque, please use this link. All excess proceeds will be donated to RealKM. If you would like to share a personal story about Arthur please leave a comment below or message me and I will read some of them out on the night. Arthur has never really sought the limelight, happy to help others. Thanks for helping us celebrate his career in a fitting manner!
Arthur as been an inspiration friend to all of us at KM society Singapore and a personal mentor. His patience and passion is an inspiration to all KMers. His ideas reach out to all and he personifies knowledge sharing. I wish you fair winds and following seas my friend!
Arthur Shelly has this warm welcoming personality, who accepts you for who you are. From him I learnt the importance of Community building and Collaboration / Networks in creating a Knowledge Sharing Culture! His books especially Knowledge Succession is my ‘bible’ / Go to reference book, that I dived into regularly when actively heading the KM function. I wish him a happy and contented future – secure in the knowledge that his style will live on in the many persons whom he has mentored and influenced – One of them being me!
Arthur is a man who puts his (and our) humanity at the centre of his knowledge management practice and thinking. Tremendous charisma, great hair, and a contagiously positive and generous spirit.
Arthur’s contributions have been so broad and varied that I suspect nobody except Arthur knows the full impact of them. While being a walking example of the principles of KM, he is also involved in projects like him local community paper where these principles get put to use. It has been a privilege being mentored and supported by him through my career.
