If you’re reading this, you probably don’t need me to explain what knowledge management is. You’re already doing the work — building processes, chasing buy-in, trying to prove value to people who think KM is a nice-to-have rather than infrastructure.
So why run a “foundations” session, and why would you, an experienced KM professional, want to be in the room?
Because foundations are easy to lose sight of once you’re deep in delivery.
When you’re knee-deep in a specific project — a new precedent bank, a taxonomy overhaul, a stakeholder presentation — it’s easy to lose the thread back to first principles. This session is a chance to step back and re-ground yourself in the core concepts, frameworks, and metrics that everything else builds on. Not because you’ve forgotten them, but because a clear-eyed revisit often surfaces gaps or assumptions you didn’t know you’d picked up.
Or — send someone else.
More often, the real use case isn’t you. It’s:
- The fee-earner who’s just been given “KM” as part of their role, with no formal grounding in it
- The new starter on your KM team who needs a fast, credible foundation rather than a slow on-the-job build
- A colleague in a related function (L&D, innovation, ops) who keeps getting pulled into KM conversations and could use a shared vocabulary with you
Rather than spending your own time building an internal induction from scratch, this gives them a structured, CPD-eligible day that gets them to a baseline you can then build on together.
What the session covers:
- Core KM concepts and what they mean in a legal context
- Practical tools and frameworks that deliver results
- How to build and measure a KM strategy
- Metrics that demonstrate value to stakeholders
Format: Online, Thursday 17 September, 10am–4pm, with breaks throughout the day — 5 hours of CPD in total. Q&A is built in throughout.
Pricing: Early bird tickets are £275, available until 17 August. If you’re a member of the Knowledge Network community, get in touch for a discounted rate — that’s a principle and part of your membership benefits, not just a promotion.
