Here is more tech for this first week of the year. Teleos, in association with The KNOW Network, has announced the 2013 Global Most Admired Knowledge Enterprises (MAKE) Winners. I have covered this award in the past. This award always brings back memories. The Most Admired Knowledge Enterprises (MAKE) award has been around for some time. Back when I was with a large consulting company and involved in our knowledge management practice, I spoke at the awards meetings in London several times. These were the days of better travel funding and the relatively early days of KM. I am pleased that this award is still around and still relevant.
Here are the 2011 Global MAKE Winners. Apple was recognized as the Overall Winner of the 2011 Global MAKE study.
The 16th annual Most Admired Knowledge Enterprises (MAKE) studies began on April 15, 2013. The 2013 MAKE research program consists of the Global, Americas, Asian and European studies, as well as national studies for Brazil, China, India and Indonesia. This years winners include: Apple, Amazon, IBM and many others.
Successfully managing enterprise knowledge yields big dividends.
