Join consultant Connie Crosby and Stephanie Barnes as they give an overview of what KM is, and how it can move your firm toward becoming a “learning organization.” Hear lesser known KM techniques and additional benefits, such as improving knowledge sharing to lessen the impact of associates leaving the firm and partners retiring, and “Lessons Learned” or improving learning from client work.
