Knowledge Management to Compliment Information Management Information management is supported, but not knowledge
Knowledge = guidelines, manuals, training materialsInformation = news, situation reports, maps, statistics

Breakout Questions
Who Manages Knowledge?
• What is the role for "knowledge managers" in your organisation / sector?
• If so, what qualities / skill sets should they possess?
• At what point in the project chain might they be best positioned?
• Is the objective to better field activities or affect institutional change, or both?

Breakout Questions
Types of Knowledge
• What knowledge should we be capturing? Where are the knowledge gaps?
• How should that knowledge be presented?
• How do we capture socio cultural knowledge so that it is useful to the project process, to avoid wasted resources and ineffective projects?
