Today we are talking about Scenarios for the Knowledge Economy with our guest speaker Jeroen Kemp of the EKMF. Jeroen is senior researcher and consultant at the competence centre R&D management of the German Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering and is one of the founders and co-ordinators of the European Knowledge Management Forum.

Jeroen Kemp Lauri, the way we see it is: single trends, integrated scenarios, visions, implications, ACT & PREPARE...

This project task represents the 'think tank'of the European KM Forum as it defines on one hand the project's direction form the very beginning and on the other hand develops strategic visions for KM in Europe. Baseline for all this is the European Council's objective for Europe to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge - based economy in the world by 2002.The document presents five scenarios for future work in the knowledge economy that have been developed on the basis of a formal scenario planning technique. The scenarios are used as a means for identifying directions for future research in KM in Europe. This work is still in progress and thus no conclusions of direct recommendations for future research are given here yet. However, the knowledge economy scenarios provide stimulating means for baseline of discussion and moreover describe diverse potential future European KM environments.The first document contains an extract from deliverable D1.2 of the IST project European KM Forum - European Knowledge Management Forum. The second is the full version.
