Now it’s a couple of weeks since the UK KMb Forum 2015 at the RCPE in Edinburgh.
And what a fab time it was too! (even if I do say so myself)
The motivation for establishing the forum had a lot to do with bringing together fabulous people who have tough jobs and often don’t see others working in knowledge brokering, knowledge-related research or implementation for days, weeks or months at a time. The Forum is the place where all these knowledge-types can come together – to be ‘the tribe’.
But don’t take my word for it… here’s what some other people have had to say…
A few tweets:
