In Reply to: Certification - How effective? posted by Ponnu on December 19, 2001 at 01:39:40:

Hi Ponnu,

There are some international KM certification bodies.

-Certified Knowledge Management Professionals Association (www.ckimps.com)

-Knowledge Mangement Benchmarking Association (www.kmba.com)

-GKEC (not sure about the URL)

The real question to ask is that do you want to be certified to gain knowledge OR do you feel that becoming a certified knowledge professional would gain respect & increase motivation for adoption of KM by your team?

If it is just the latter, you would be better served by doing your own reading on KM & attending seminars in your area. (it may also be cheaper!)

With all due respect to you certified people out there, IMHO, KM theory is too nascent & fluid to really benefit from standardized certifications.

take care,

Akhil Shahani
