.“PKM is a set of processes, individually constructed, to help each of us make sense of our world, and work more effectively.”

Keeping track of digital information flows and separating the signal from the noise is difficult. There is little time to make sense of it all. We may feel like we are just not able to stay current and make informed decisions. PKM gives you a framework to develop a network of people and sources of information that you can draw from on a daily basis. PKM is a process of filtering, creating and discerning, and it also helps you  manage your own professional development through continuous learning.

Every individual needs to develop a PKM strategy and toolkit that works for them.
