Knowledge Fitness
for everyone in knowledge work
On the occasion of our 25th anniversary, the Knowledge Workouts are offered free of charge – a gift from the KM-A to our community.
The Workout
The idea
Working with knowledge is nothing extraordinary – it is part of our everyday practice.
We search for information, prepare content, share experience, document, structure, and communicate. We often assume we “know how to do it” simply because we do it all the time.
Yet it is precisely the routines that make us blind to opportunities for improvement.
Just as we keep our bodies fit through regular, short training sessions, we should also train the way we work with knowledge: reflect, refine, improve.
The Knowledge Workouts provide an ideal setting to do so.

It is for...

They are intended for everyone who works with knowledge – including knowledge workers, leaders, project managers, and anyone who seeks to work more effectively with information, experience, and expertise.
Feel free to share the invitation with your colleagues – and strengthen your knowledge fitness together.
Developing Competence – Monthly, Compact, Online
With the Knowledge Workouts, we expand the portfolio of the Knowledge Management Academy by introducing a concise, focused format dedicated to the continuous exploration of key aspects of knowledge work.
Knowledge work is not a one-time activity, but an ongoing process. Regular reflection and further development of one’s own practice enhance effectiveness, confidence, and quality in working with knowledge. The Knowledge Workouts support this process through clearly structured, topic-specific impulses and professional exchange.
