Very interesting. I really wish I could have made it out to the meeting, as I am actually pursuing my doctorate with a cognate in knowledge management (also the focus of my dissertation). However, taking classes on Tuesday night has prevented me from coming to all KMChicago meetings - with the exception of the one in March.

I wonder, do any of the programs represented in the discussion look at knowledge exploration and exploitation?

As someone also looking to pursue a career in KM, I have observed that many different organizations have different visions of what the KM function in their organization should be. While the majority focus on KM as a technology driven function it is refreshing to see at least some organizations looking more holistically at the KM function (such as what Stan G. from HP discussed).
