The disciplines of knowledge management, information management and corporate communications have all developed tools to assess organisations, often known as “audits”. While these techniques have developed separately, and have had different histories and drivers, they often overlap in the behaviors they target and techniques they use. This session investigates:
- How the the traditions of communication, information and knowledge audits developed
- Similarities and differences between them
- What practitioners from these different disciples can learn from each other
