Free Knowledge Management Workshop

Hello there 👋

Yesterday I organized a Knowledge Management workshop for paid members of the Knowii community.

In this ~1h45 video, I discuss the main problems knowledge workers face, and the main solution I focus on: Knowledge Management. I explain what it's about, why you should care, why it helps, and most importantly, HOW to get started!

I’ve decided to publish this one for free on YouTube. You can watch it here:

Hope you'll enjoy it! ❤️ (If you do, please like and share it 🙏)
