In a world overflowing with information, why do we still keep repeating the same mistakes?
Keeping Knowledge Knowledge Management Strategies for Learning and Transformation is a practical and deeply human guide to using knowledge as a force for impact, resilience, and sustainable change, especially in development and humanitarian contexts. Drawing from real-world experience from the Global South, this book moves beyond theory to show how knowledge can be captured, shared, and applied before it disappears through staff turnover, silos, or forgotten reports. It brings together proven strategies, field-tested tools, and reflective insights on learning, institutional memory, communities of practice, leadership, inclusion, and cultural transformation.
