Demystifying KM for agri-fishery sector


To reach a common appreciation and understanding of knowledge management (KM) as it applies to the agriculture and fisheries sector, 22 information officers and communication staff from attached agencies and bureaus and regional field offices of the Department of Agriculture (DA) participated in the back-to-back trainings on “Demystifying KM” and “Knowledge Sharing for your Work: Techniques and Tools for Project KM” on April 13-17, 2015 in Los BaƱos, Laguna. The Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) conducted the two trainings under a project funded by the DA Bureau of Agricultural Research titled “Capacity Development on Knowledge Management-Phase II”. Among the DA attached agencies represented in the trainings is the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries. KM Capacity Development Expert Dr. Alexander Flor delivered most of the lectures and facilitated the workshops. KM, by Microsoft’s definition, is a newly emerging management discipline that treats intellectual capital as an asset. Its goal is to share and reuse knowledge. Knowledge, Dr. Flor said, is best shared through networks and that digital platforms are essential to KM. (Photo credit: SEARCA).
