As we approached the Mount Kenya area, we could see just how spectacular this beautiful mountain is. It is the second highest in Africa and topped with snow all year (but sadly - on our rainy Christmas Day - it was shrouded in cloud). While driving through this countryside, I was reminded of where I grew up out in Southwestern Virginia, in the so-called Blue Ridge Mountains and among what we called the “rolling hills” of that part of America. The landscape was very beautiful, and while I won’t admit to a slight case of nostalgia or homesickness, I was pleased to see that with all the rain this lovely part of Africa – so dry and brown last year – was gorgeously green. Everything looked healthy and strong, except for the few small rivers we crossed, which looked very brown and muddy to me.
My primary focus is on knowledge. Sharing knowledge is the critical basis for success, best expressed through knowledge services, the management and leadership methodology that converges information management, knowledge management, and strategic learning.
If I had a motivating philosophy in life, it would be to use knowledge services to build and to sustain a knowledge culture for all of society. My latest book is a personal and professional journey in knowledge sharing through knowledge services. The book — "Knowledge Services: A Strategic Framework for the 21st Century Organization" — has been written to expand on that theme. In the book I acknowledge the success of knowledge services and assert that the practice has become a recognized framework for strategic knowledge management applicable in all organizations and communities.
