Knowledge harvesting is a new trend in the established field of knowledge management. It can be viewed as an effort to create some recommended practices for the field. Where knowledge management identifies best performers and captures an organization's intellectual output for access by those who need to exploit it, knowledge harvesting raises the value of that body of information and the way it is used. KM-Chicago, the organization dedicated to professionals in the field of knowledge management, heard two specialists introduce the core aspects of "harvesting" on April 10. The discussion was led by Kate Pugh of Intel Solution Services and Nancy Dixon of Common Knowledge Association. They frequently referenced work by Hans Meidjan of HP Services who is doing knowledge harvesting work in The Netherlands. Members and friends of KM Chicago participated in person or via teleconference.
