KM is too generic, let’s focus on KM for Sustainability

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Eventually, I would like to combine two of my professional passions: “knowledge management” and “sustainability”. I studied environmental sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and worked six years for an environmental management consulting company, mostly on international cooperation projects focussing on sustainable development issues.

I decided to pursue my growing second passion and started as a knowledge management consultant back in 2000. I’ve been with my current employer for nearly three years working as the knowledge manager for the 600-employee business transformation consulting group of SAP consulting.

You are the future of philanthropy

Katherine Fulton draws a clear picture on what each of us is able to achieve if she/he just acts. I’ve made my first good experience with one of the organizations mentioned by Katherine: kiva.org. I’ve lent 250 USD to eight small entrepreneurs in Benin, Cambodia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, and Tajikistan. My default rate is currently 0.0%. So, please give it a try. It’s easy to complain about the banking system and the liquidity crisis. You can make a difference.
