We will be heavily involved as speakers and co-organisers in the “Innovations in Knowledge Organisation” Conference 8-9 June 2015.

We offer our condolences to the family of Mr Lee Kuan Yew on his passing today. Straits Knowledge was founded after Mr Lee had stepped down as Prime Minister. However we are keenly aware that who we are, what we do, and the unique opportunities we have had to work and learn and develop in the past thirteen years, would not have been possible without Mr Lee’s extraordinary drive, determination, vision, and his ability to harness the energy of other talented people. Rest in Peace and thank you for your service to Singapore.

We have a great programme lined up for the “Innovations in Knowledge Organisation” conference June 8-9, and early bird registration is now open!

If you can’t make that one, try another continent! Take a look at other conferences we’ll be workshopping and keynoting at in the next few months - Southern African Knowledge Management Summit 27-29 May, and ISKO UK, 13-14 July.

We’ll be conducting a half day workshop on “Conducting Knowledge Audits” in partnership with the Securities Commission Malaysia, on 19 March 2015, in Kuala Lumpur. Registration is free. More information and registration here.
