About Me

Welcome from one learner to another!

Apin

This weblog aims to shorten learning curves of KM (knowlege management) learners, and to contribute my share in growing this new discipline.

I have spent more than a decade figuring out the intricacies of “knowledge management” while staying grounded by practicing it in our organization CCLFI and through our KM consulting services. I have been teaching KM as a graduate course in the University of the Philippines for 11 years now. 

Each blog entry is the distillation of months and years of tough learning on my part. What I gained over a longer time, you can gain from my weblogs in 15 minutes. As another learner, I am sure you know many things that I don’t; so please share your comments, questions or criticisms. Good deal? Let’s go!

What interests me: New ideas that work, travelling, networking, meeting new and old friends
What excites me: Helping others discover their blindfolds, playing with Elias my grandson:

What weighs me down: Political, religious, ethnic and environmental problems in our Planet Earth
My pet peeve: hidden mental boxes that imprison its unwitting owner’s thinking, seeing and feeling
What occupies my time: Writing, KM consulting, nurturing CCLFI like it is one of my children, innovating new KM tools
My current KM consulting engagements (June 2011): Asian Productivity Organization (Tokyo), Department of Health, Development Academy of the Philippines, National Security Council Secretariat
My continuing challenge: managing egos: others’ egos and especially my own ego
What calms me down: watching a panoramic scenic view from a high place
My dream: grow a new KM discipline (it may not be called “knowledge management”)
My favorite morning routine: drinking coffee while quietly admiring the mango tree in front of my house and enjoying its occasional bird visitors.
