Dr. Bedford is currently an Adjunct Professor, Georgetown University\u2019s Communication Culture and Technology program, adjunct faculty at the Schulich School of Business, York University, a Visiting Scholar at the University of Coventry, and a Distinguished Practitioner and Virtual Fellow with the U.S. Department of State. At Georgetown University, she teaches a variety of courses dedicated to the understanding of knowledge management, including <a href=\"https:\/\/gufaculty360.georgetown.edu\/s\/course-catalog\/a1o1Q000003RBauQAG\/cctp62601?id=00336000014RgREAA0\">Cultures of Knowledge Organizations<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gufaculty360.georgetown.edu\/s\/course-catalog\/a1o1Q000003RCNQQA4\/cctp68601?id=00336000014RgREAA0\">Knowledge Networks<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/gufaculty360.georgetown.edu\/s\/course-catalog\/a1o1Q00000F7jcZQAR\/cctp67501?id=00336000014RgREAA0\">Communities of Practice<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When did you first learn about the organization?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I learned about the organization about 20 years ago when I was a Senior Information Officer at the World Bank.&nbsp; As we were building the Bank&#8217;s &#8220;Knowledge Bank&#8221; my mentors brought in experts from around the world.&nbsp; I had an opportunity to meet many of them and learn from them.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve kept them in my informal professional network over the years, but now feel like I am a part of their formal network.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can you talk a little bit more about the nomination process?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must be nominated for membership by an existing member of the Association.&nbsp; Over the past ten years, as I moved back into academia full time, I built up my research portfolio. &nbsp; To be nominated you must have both a track record of practice and a strong research portfolio. Although I had the practice record, it wasn&#8217;t until I went back into academia that I could build a sufficient research portfolio.&nbsp; Thank you, Georgetown!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Would you mind discussing who nominated you?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Alexeis Garcia-Perez, a colleague I first met through a colleague at a KM conference in Lithuania about 10 years ago. Alexeis has been a Visiting Scholar at Georgetown, and we&#8217;ve continued to collaborate on research over the years.&nbsp; He is also the co-editor of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/insight\/publication\/acronym\/WMKM\">Emerald series &#8211; <em>Working Methods in Knowledge Management<\/em><\/a>.&nbsp; We&#8217;re also collaborating with the current President of IAKM, Dr. Constantin Bratianu, Romania.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What past work have you done that you think inspired this nomination?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The invitation I received referenced a broad body of work, but I believe it was the thirteen books I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to write while at Georgetown in the past few years.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are you most looking forward to with this position?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Networking opportunities.&nbsp; Europe is where knowledge sciences is growing rapidly &#8211; it is where the bulk of research is happening &#8211; and where adoption is greatest.&nbsp; Being part of this network now makes all of that knowledge accessible to me.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is there anything else you would like to share about this organization and\/or your upcoming role with them?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope that my inclusion in this association will promote research and practice in the U.S.&nbsp; Thank you for helping me to promote the value of this association.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In December 2021, CCT Professor Denise Bedford was nominated to join the International Association for Knowledge Management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55342740568540990,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"gu_featured_image_display":false,"footnotes":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":5,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-4765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-story","tag-denise-bedford"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Professor Denise Bedford Nominated to International Association for Knowledge Management - Master&#039;s in Communication, Culture &amp;
