TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
OK guys, we've had our yuks, now let's see if we can do something
constructive for the original poster.
I happen to agree that if the audience wants something substantive about
knowledge management, the poster is on very thin ice. But from the post
itself, we don't know that.
Point 1: What does this audience need to know, and at what level? If all
they want is an overview, then this may work. A full seminar, however, could
be big trouble. Journalists do this kind of thing all the time. Few people,
however, get to ask them direct questions.
Point 2: IME, the definition of "Knowledge Management" varies all over the
map, depending on who is doing the defining. We have no context for a
reasonable reply.
Point 3: There actually *is* a book called _The Complete Idiot's Guide to
Knowledge Management_. I saw it at Barnes and Noble last time this thread
came around. Go figure. I did not pick it up, just noticed it. So, instead
of asking the list, "Please tell me everything I need to know to give a
seminar on knowledge management," [various fulminations suppressed], get
thee to a bookstore or an online source.

While I do try to provide helpful responses to earnest requests, I really
hate it when people ask this type of question. It trivializes our knowledge
and our craft.</rant>
