10 x 10: 100 Insightful KM Resources

I am very thankful for my colleagues in knowledge management (KM) and the knowledge they share.

To express my gratitude, I am sharing ten categories of KM resources, each with ten links to useful sources of knowledge about the field. The ten resources in each category are recommended starting points for those who want to learn more about KM.

Each category heading is linked to a more extensive list for greater exploration. I hope you will find this information helpful. If so, please share this article further, adding links to other resources you have used.
