Oh yes, we're not alone... what am I mumbling about... A couple of weeks ago, sometime in December 2007, had an opportunity to drop by at the Malaysian Employees' Provident Fund's (EPF) Knowledge Fair. My workplace too had a Knowledge Fair in 2006 and we were supposed to have one in 2007 but couldn't as I was shorthanded and over occupied with other projects at the KM Centre (KMC). Thanks EPF's KM officer, Mr  Farris was kind to show me around the fair.

The setting of the fair was made at their headquarters' ground floor lobby. Based on my observation, there were around 10 to 12 booths exhibiting various aspects on KM in EPF. There was a booth showing the various technology EPF has adopted over the years; one that interest me was how storage technology has changed over the years, from the big-o tape to hardisk, from megabytes to terrabytes. I guess why this is important to EPF is that the number of members contributing to their fund is increasing each single day. Hence a big storage size is really important for them. But not as important their PEOPLE!

This was how the EPF team positioned KM. It all began with people as knowledge is about people.  How true... Kudos to Farris and team. Will put more insight on KM in EPF in contrast to my own organisation soon.

Signing off...
