Orhan Pamuk was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature today. I am just reading page 216 of his latest book “Snow“. Pamuk writes about the journey of an exiled writer in the provincial town of Kars, Turkey. He describes a society divided between the Orient and the West, between Turks, Kurds, and other cultures, between Turkish nationalism and religious extremism. The final conversation between an islamist and the school director of Karst in the chapter „Excuse me, Sir“ is alone very awe-inspiring and as I read it my blood ran cold.

Thursday, October 12th, 2006KM Practicioners (2) – Kathryn Protopapadakis
Thursday, October 12th, 2006Kathryn Protopapadakis has been Head of Knowledge Management at Fujitsu Services since 2004. Kathryn defines KM this way. She sees herself as a ‘change agent’ and catalyst to pressing ahead with the management’s awareness of knowledge management issues (according to an article in InsideKnowledge). There would be no other way for her to act owing to the limited resources available.
